What is coming is better than what is gone. Knowing when to walk away is wisdom, being able to, is courage. Being walking away with your head held high, is dignity.
Round of applause for blocking him, it was a smart move. For further security: If restraining order is what you need to bring tranquility in your life ,then go for it by all means.

You are doing just fine ! Aren't nothing wrong with you Miss Barbie...

[QUOTE;3565033;Meforme667] Hi. So sorry to hear about your issue.
Instead of a restraining order you can also look at getting a protection order.
This you can get from a police station.
The trick is to get it delivered to him if you dont know where he lives or works.

You can not obtain a protection order from the police station. Only a magistrate can do that. You have to go to your nearest magistrate court, fill in a form and write down all the incidents that occured up to date. In as much detail as you can,take extra paper with. You will then see a clerk, she will take your application to the magistrate. Then you wait, and wait. The clerk will come back with the magistrate decision. You will then get a date to appear in court which is usually 3-4 months later. Once both parties appeared in court and the magistrate listened to both sides of the story, will or won't an order be granted. Copies are issued to the complainant, defendent and the nearest police station.
Please make sure of your facts before you give advise.

That said, you're it's not a given that you'll even get a restraining order. Usually, only if there was threats of physical violence or actual violence against you will an order be issued. You have to back up your accusations with evidence as well. And of course, the accused will have the opportunity to state his case. It's a long, stressful and time consuming process.

My advise comes from personal experience. I'm not trying to put anyone down, neither am I being a "know it all". These are the facts, hopefully other WG's also take note of this information, so if their ever faced with the same situation, they will know what the right thing to do. Take note - IT'S A LOOOONG PROCESS. Applying for one alone, can take the whole day.

You can definitely apply for a restraining order, but know that it is not necessarily a quick process, as Gretchen correctly points out. Unfortunately our judicial system is quite slow at times.

There are a number of grounds on which you can seek a protection order, those being physical violence, sexual violence, financial abuse and emotional/verbal abuse.

There are a few stages to the application. The first is that you make an application by yourself/through an attorney to the relevant court who will then, after considering your affidavit and evidence, grant an "interim" protection order with a date on which you are to return to court with for a hearing in which the protection order will either be made final, will be dismissed, or will be moved to a more formal trial process if the factual matrix is more complex and requires a full on trial presentation.

One thing about the interim order is that it does at least afford you some level of protection while the other side has an opportunity to present their case. Make sure you have any evidence you can find, be it text messages, videos, testimonies from friends/neighbours, etc.

You can aply for a restraining order despite what you do. Whatever anperson does doesnt matter if they feel the next person has crossed the line.

Thank you'all for your input,I have asked the security to not let in a certain car without my permission:))

I will see how it goes...

I really appreciat
