California law defines abuse as any act that puts you, your children, or another person in immediate fear of injury, as well as any act that causes harm to you or your property. If such harm exists, you can file a request for an order to keep the abuser away.
North Carolina has no civil court records online. Interested individuals will have to visit the clerk's office to inspect the records. However, members of the public can view opinions from the Supreme and the Court of Appeals in North Carolina on the North Carolina Court website.
A person's sworn testimony alone can be enough proof for a restraining order, however, it must be testimony that alleges abusive or threatening behavior. Simply saying that a person makes you uncomfortable is insufficient.
Who qualifies? Experiencing any one of three types of conduct qualifies a survivor to seek a Restraining Order: (1) harassment in the first degree, (2) harassment in the second degree, or (3) stalking.
Filing the Documents Take the original and two (2) copies of the Motion to the Civil Division of the Clerk of Superior Court's office in the county where your case is filed.

After the hearing, a judge can issue a protective order that lasts up to 18 months, and can later be renewed after a hearing in front of a judge. The parts of the protective order that tell the abuser to not abuse, harass, or interfere with you can last forever.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year.
