In North Carolina, citing evidence of stalking, sexual abuse, harassment, or an instance of domestic violence can also be valid grounds for a restraining order. The petition for the restraining order needs to accurately and specifically reflect these instances, or show grounds for fear of future occurrences.
Go to the courthouse for your county and see the clerk of civil court or the magistrate. Let them know you are filing a restraining order. You can also tell the office that you need to file for an emergency ex parte temporary protective order at this time.
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).
The victim will state the facts that explain what happened and why he or she is in immediate need of protection. Temporary Orders are usually issued, prohibiting the other party from contacting the victim, and a hearing for a longer-term Order of Protection will be set for 15 days after the issuance.
Evidence from the person seeking the order can take different forms: Witness Testimony: Statements from people who witnessed abusive behavior. Photographic Evidence: Photos of injuries caused by violence, with timestamps. Text Messages or Emails: Messages with threatening language or detailing abuse.
An order of protection is issued by the court to limit the behavior of someone who harms or threatens to harm another person. It is used to address various types of safety issues, including, but not limited to situations involving domestic violence.

A 50C Civil No-Contact Order seeks to protect victims of sexual assault, stalking, and other forms of harassment. Victims may be any age, and unlike the 50B protective order, no relationship between the victim and the offender is required.
