FAQ
A false order of protection refers to an instance where an individual knowingly makes false allegations or provides fabricated evidence to obtain a protective order against another person.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
But the “clear and convincing evidence” standard of proof, the middle ground of certainty between the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard and the “preponderance of the evidence” standard, applies in civil harassment restraining order applications.
Start with a general paragraph summarizing the overall history of abuse, how long it has lasted, and your efforts to stop it. Be as specific as possible and give details about how you or others were harmed by Respondent. Organize your declaration with the most recent events first, going backward in time.
Detail what the respondent did, for example: hit, strangled, slapped, punched, kicked, broke or disconnected the phone, and any other abuse/behavior that occurred. If you include threats, state what the abuser said as close to word for word as you can.
A civil harassment restraining order can be granted against someone who has harassed, stalked, threatened, or harmed another person emotionally or physically. What if I am under 18? If you are 12 or older, you can ask for a restraining order on your own and without your parent's permission.
Prove workplace sexual harassment by documenting each incident with dates, times, locations, and detailed descriptions. Include relevant conversations, witness testimonies, and physical evidence like emails or voicemails. Report the harassment to your employer promptly and state that the behavior is unwelcome.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
