Restraining Order, Do I need one to protect myself legally if someone is harassing or stalking me?

If someone is stalking, harassing, threatening you, etc. you can seek a civil harassment restraining order (RO). A civil harassment RO is appropriate if you are not related to, not married to, do not have children with, do not have a dating relationship, etc with the person that is stalking/harassing/threatening you. Civil harassment Restraining Orders in California are very common in situations where neighbors are not getting along and are causing problems and disrupting your life to the point where legal intervention is necessary. Contacting the police department will temporarily remedy the situation; however the police department will most likely inform you that it is best to seek a Restraining Order. If you have a RO and that person continues to harass/stalk/threaten you then the police can arrest that person for violating the Restraining Order.
