What is a protection order against malicious harassment, stalking, and telephone harassment (protection order against stalking and/or threats)?

A protection order against malicious harassment, stalking, and telephone harassment is a civil court order that offers protection to victims of harassment and stalking and their children. It is also called a “protection order against stalking and/or threats” for short.

Victims of harassment and stalking can file for this kind of order regardless of their specific relationship with the abuser.1 The petition asking for a harassment protection order must be filed within 90 days of when the stalking or harassment happened.2
