FAQ
A protective order is only available for people who have experienced dating or family violence and it can lead to criminal penalties (the Respondent/violator can be arrested) if violated. A restraining order can be ordered by a court for many different types of situations and only has civil penalties if violated.
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.
If you are seeking a family violence Protective Order, the law requires that you prove family violence has occurred and family violence is likely to occur in the future. If you are seeking a stalking Protective Order, the law requires that you prove that there are reasonable grounds that you are the victim of stalking.
In most cases, a Protective Order will last up to 2 years. There are some situations where a court can issue an order that lasts longer than 2 years. Although you may file these forms without having a lawyer, you are encouraged to get a lawyer to help you in this process.
At the hearing, you must prove that the abuser has committed an act(s) of domestic violence (as defined by the law). You must also convince a judge that you need the protection and the specific things you asked for in the petition.
Harassment in Nevada can be made as threats either with words or conduct. It is also considered harassment to threaten one person with the harm of another. Harassment doesn't have to have immediate threats; the threats can also be in the future and still be considered harassment.
You must file your application in the justice court for the township where the stalking, aggravated stalking, or harassment took place. Stalking or harassment is committed "where the conduct occurred" or "where the person who was affected by the conduct was located at the time that the conduct occurred." (NRS 200.581.)
Harassment is any unwanted behavior, physical or verbal (or even suggested), that makes a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, humiliated, or mentally distressed. Depending on state laws, the definition and boundaries for what's considered harassing behavior may slightly vary.
