How To File A Restraining Order
Your safety is the only thing that matters when another individual is constantly harassing you. To successfully file and obtain a restraining order against someone, you must do the following:
- Collect evidence
- Find the correct court
- File the required forms
- Create a petition
- Attend your hearing
Minnesotans who carefully perform each of these actions can strengthen their claims and obtain the relief they rightfully deserve.
How Long Does A Restraining Order Last?
After obtaining a restraining order, you are likely hoping that it will last indefinitely. However, in Minnesota, when a full order of protection is granted it will initially last for two years. After those years have been completed, you can file an extension on the order.
What Does A Restraining Order Do?
When another person violates your rights with persistent harassment, you have the ability to take legal action and stop them from engaging in this behavior. To prevent the perpetrator from contacting you further, consider applying for an emergency, temporary or permanent restraining order. If criminal charges are involved in your case, you may want to consider filing for an order of protection instead, as restraining orders are generally only used in civil cases.
