A restraining order is the same thing in New York State as an order of protection. In New York State an order of protection can be obtained through three different means, either through criminal court, family court, or supreme court.
Types of proof that can aid in your filing a protective order include: Threatening, violent, or harassing, texts, emails, or voicemails. Previous calls to 911 or domestic violence hotlines.
Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).
Keep in mind that you will generally not be able to remain anonymous when seeking a restraining order, in part because the perpetrator will need to be informed of whom they are restrained from contacting.
