Yes. The time limit is not as important as the fact that you currently are, and have been, living as husband and wife. In order to sign a warrant for harassing communications in Alabama, there are only a few things required. First, it is someone that is not currently a member of your household. Second, when they call you, tell them not to call you anymore for any reason. The next time they call, hang up, and go sign a warrant.
With the two of you being still legally married, it does complicate matters somewhat. The main thing is the type of phone calls required before you can sign the warrant. When you tell them not to call you again, there is a catch. Tell them not to call you about anything other than things relating to official things, like when to pick up the kids, what bill needs paid when, divorce proceedings, etc. If you already have a divorce lawyer, you can tell them that if they have any information for you, to contact your lawyer and the lawyer will contact you. If they call for any reason other than those, such as to just argue, threaten, harass, etc., then you can sign the warrant.
It is more difficult if you are married or have kids with someone, but you can still do it. If you have any questions about your particular circumstances, look in the blue (government) pages in the phone book and find the number for the city or county magistrate's officer for where you live. They may discuss the situation over the phone, or they may have you come to the office to talk. But if you are going to sign the warrant, you have to go to their office anyway.
Good luck.

Yes, you most certainly can--and should. The best way to find the legal help you seek is to join Craigslist.org. Once you are a member, you can go to the state of Alabama page, and ask your question under the legal forum section of Craigslist . It's easy to do and FREE! You'll receive a ton of responses from mostly lawyers, who are genuinely eager to help. Please e-mail me, if you have trouble doing this, okay? I'm at : joeycapp1@yahoo.com.
Good luck!

Yes. As a matter of fact, you can get a no-contact order if you've been separated for more than 48 hours.
