A stalking order is specifically designed to address undesired and hostile attention or behavior associated with stalking. It aims to provide legal protection to the person who feels harassed or endangered.
You may need a stalking order if someone follows, threatens, or harasses you persistently. Examples of such actions may include:
In Oregon and Washington, you may be able to petition the court to adjust or end an existing court-issued protective order. It depends on the context and nature of the changes requested.
The procedures can vary from court to court. Restrictions do apply and there may be a hearing may be required. To justify the modification or termination, you may have to demonstrate that circumstances have changed since the restraining order was issued.
Sometimes protective orders can be granted unfairly or without proper cause. In such instances, the restrained person can fight the court decree.
