Who can file for a stalking protective order?

Anyone who has been a victim of stalking can file a petition for a stalking protective order.1  Unlike with a domestic violence protective order, a stalking victim is not required to prove a prior relationship existed in order to petition for a stalking protective order. However, if the victim of stalking and the stalker are members of the same family or household, or are intimate partners, victims are encouraged to file for a domestic violence protective order instead.2
