If you can prove to the court that this guy is a threat to you then yes. If he has made threats or attempted to intimidate you, or actually physically attacked you yes. Otherwise, no. You just have to substantiate a reason for an order to the judge. As an officer of the court, it should not be a problem.
If he is an actual physical threat, particularly if there is a history of violence between you, then a protective order is better. The police can actually enforce a protective order at the time of a violation of the order. With a restraining order, you have to go back to the court and file a contempt complaint and wait for the judge to issue sanctions or a warrant. Even at that, any warrant issued will probably be an "At Large" warrant, where there will actually be no attempt to serve it.

Nancy Grace must be undesirable effective, if human beings imagine this ''one'' man or woman confident pretty a lot the total international that Casey became responsible.I got here to the top that Casey became responsible by skill of gazing the trial on ''in consultation'' on authentic television. I made my reviews on the trial on my own, I infrequently ever watch Nancy Grace, yet from what Im listening to, she is one effective woman! a lot of human beings recognize a thanks to have our own reviews, and there became a truck load of information hostile to Casey, on gazing the trial on my own.Oh, and there are different newshounds who're taking up the files with no longer some thing yet Casey Anthony.You stated your self that CNN is allowing biased, inflammatory crap, and the finest I checked ''Nancy Grace'' is on HLN. Ive heard better about Nancy Grace by skill of those who promote her by skill of attempting to slander her call on Y!A than any the position else. i don't think of Casey desires to record a restraining order hostile to all of us, in spite of everything she's the felon right here, and her baby got here up lacking at the same time as in her care and became later got here across murdered. If human beings don't like Nancy Grace, there's a conceivable button on the distant, only push it, she'll bypass off.

This varies from state to state. Check to see if your prosecutor's office has some kind of Victim's Assistance office or something similar and contact them. In my state, the Department of Corrections has an obligation to notify any victims of the defendant's release date. If there is no Victim's Assistance office (or similar entity) in your area call the prison directly and see what you can find out from them. Best of luck to you.

Yes, if you feel he could be a problem. Also if he is being released on parole it could be made part of his parole or probation to not have any contact with you. It is best to talk with your lawyer, or the police ,or contact the some one at the courthouse where the trial took place.

probably not, unless your state has a very liberal TRO policy.
Has he ever threatened you? That is to say, have you heard from him since he went to prison...has he made threatening remarks...or blame you at trial for his predicament? If so, then I would contact the DA who prosecuted your case and express your concerns. He/she will almost certainly help you acheive any remedy that will give you peace of mind. It's possible, however, that the convict is in a better place in his life now, for having been in jail and (hopefully) clean and sober for three years. He might even be grateful to you.
In either event, I wish you luck...and peace.

Contact the entity responsible for him right now -- they should be able to provide you with his release date. Contact the court and find out whether you can get a restraining order.

I believe you can but if you check your stats. Restraining orders are only good if the restrained are willing to follow them...if your nervous be careful and more aware of people and your surroundings

If you ever read an actual restraining order, you will see that it doesn't restrain anybody against anything. It's about like a warining ticket.

Has he been sending you letters saying he is going to kill you, hurt you, etc?
If not, why do you feel that he is a threat to you?
You can't just arbitrarily get restraining orders.

doesn't he have some financial responsibilities for the damages his drunk *** caused you. you were a victim of a violent crime and need to be compensated not only with the law punishing him with incarceration, but by keeping him poor for the rest of his life.
SUE HIM for everything !!!
