In this video, a Minnesota family lawyer explains the process of petitioning for a harassment restraining order.

The law provides the opportunity for someone who believes they have been the victim of harassment to seek a protective order called a harassment restraining order.

A harassment restraining order is something that will preclude the harasser from either being present at the address or place of employment, or having ongoing communication, directly or indirectly, with the person petitioning for the order.

It also applies to situations where a litigant has been the victim of some sort of assault but they don’t have the familial relationship required of an order for protection.

So if you believe that you have been the victim of harassment, as defined by law, the definition being: repeated, unwanted acts designed to invade your rights, safety, privacy, or security, you can petition the court for that harassment restraining order.

That is done on an ex parte basis, without notice to the other side. If the court accepts the allegations within your petition, the court will issue a temporary harassment restraining order, and then set the matter on for a hearing to happen within a couple of weeks.

At the hearing, there will be testimony and evidence presented. Both sides will be subject to cross examination, and then ultimately, if the court accepts the allegations that have been raised as being true, the court can issue a more long term harassment restraining order, typically for a period of two years.
