How does the court determine if the acts are legitimate or lawful?
The Court considers the following:
  • Is the respondent, the person who is harassing you, contacting you or are you contacting each other?

  • Has the respondent been clearly told that you do not want any further contact?

  • Is the respondent's behavior alarming, annoying, or harassing you?

  • Are the respondent's actions interfering with your privacy or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive living environment for you?

  • Has the respondent's contact with you been previously limited by a court order?
