1. Definition of a Stalking Protection Order

It is an order issued by the court to protect a person from someone who repeatedly scares, harasses, or engages in behavior that causes fear for their safety.  It requires the restrained person to stop contacting the protected person, stay away from their home, workplace, or other locations, and avoid any form of communication, including in-person, phone, text, or online contact.

2. Why Do You Need to Respond?

Being served with a Stalking Protection Order can be a difficult experience. That’s why it’s important to act immediately and respond correctly. When the judge receives your well-prepared response early, it may give you a fair chance to be heard. 

3. You Need Reliable People for Help

4. Who Can Serve Your Documents

Take note that your response should be served by a third party who:
• Is at least 18 years old
• Is not a party to the case
• Can properly complete and sign a Proof of Service form

Here are Your Choices:
