What is a Civil Harassment Restraining Order?

It is a court order that helps protect people from harassment. Civil Harassment Restraining Orders are different from Family Law Domestic Violence Restraining Orders in that the person harassing is not for people who have dated or who are closely related.

A person may seek protection if you are worried about your safety because you are being:
  • stalked
  • harassed
  • sexually assaulted
  • threatened
  • or there have been acts of violence against you

by someone with whom you do not have an intimate or familial relationship with, such as a neighbor or roommate, great-grandparent, great-grandchild, niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, cousin, classmate, etc.

What Forms Do I Need?

Complete a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders (CH-100) and make three copies.  A Confidential CLETS Information (CLETS-001) form, the Notice of the Court Hearing (CH-109), and the Temporary Restraining Order (CH-110) should also be completed, but you do not need to make copies of these completed forms before filing. 

Where Do I File My Forms?

Present completed forms and copies to the new filings clerk in Room 103 of the Civic Center Courthouse.
