A Civil Harassment Order is a legal protection that individuals can seek when they experience harassment from someone who is not a family member or intimate partner. This type of order is designed to prevent further harassment, stalking, or threats by legally prohibiting the harasser from contacting or coming near the victim. To obtain a Civil Harassment Order, the victim must file a petition in court, providing evidence of the harassment. If granted, the order can include various restrictions, such as maintaining a certain distance from the victim's home or workplace, and may last for a specified period or until further court review.
