Restraining Orders

Harassment is when someone threatens you with any of the following and you reasonably fear that the threat will be carried out:

• to cause future physical injury to you or to another person;
• to cause physical damage to your property or the property of another person;
• to physically confine or restrain you or another person; or
• to do any act which is intended to cause significant harm to the physical or mental health or safety of you or another person.¹

Stalking is when a person does two or more acts directed towards you over a period of time that reasonably cause you to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, harassed, or fearful for the safety of yourself or your family or household member.²

Note: “Family or household member” means a current or former spouse, a parent, a person who is related by blood or marriage, or a person who is or was living with you.³

Aggravated stalking is when a person commits the crime of stalking (as defined above) and also threatens you with the intention of making you reasonably fear death or serious bodily harm.⁴
