My ex boyfriend and his family are crazy and are saying they will get a restraining order on me. He has been texting me, and picking fights with me, and unfortunately I have bickered back. He's been trying to get with me, and in the past I have tried to tell this new girlfriend of his about it and apparantly she got my number blocked (even though I've only called her like 3 times total). Today they are especially mad at me because I got him in some trouble with his wrestling coach because I told on him for smoking pot at school!!!
So basically, what I want to know is: If they get a restraining order put on me on grounds of "harrassment", does this mean that if we happened to be at the same place, I would have to leave? Or would HE have to leave? And is it possible that his crazy mother could make it to where I have to change schools???
Don't worry, I have already decided that even if there's no order put into action, I will have NO contact with him whatsoever no matter WHAT.

Hi there :)
If your boyfriend gets a restraining order you will be required to stay away from him ( usually within a stated distance) and not contact him in any form.
Mind you , if he goes ahead with it , he cannot contact you either otherwise it negates the order.
You can challenge the order in court if you have enough evidence to show that his reasons weren't valid in the first place.
Sounds like it's better if he is not in your life anyhow.

A restraining order does what it sounds like -- it places "restraints" (limitations) on what the person can do.
That may be -- they cannot interact with or approach someone -- or they cannot go certain places -- or they cannot take things belonging to someone else -- the details can vary.
To place a restraining order -- the person asking for it needs to prove the threat -- and then ask the court to order certain limitations.
The court will consider the nature and evidence of the threat -- and the consequences on the other person -- before deciding what limitations are appropriate.
As for the "both at the same place" -- it depends on many factors -- such as what that place is -- if it's your work or home or social activities -- and he didn't have any reason to be there -- he would need to leave. If it's a neutral place -- then whoever got there first could stay.

If they get a restraining order, the court will tell you exactly what that means at the time the order is made. They will tell you how many feet away you need to stay, etc.
But it is possible that the order would require you to leave anyplace where he happens to be or risk being arrested. It is also possible you would have to change schools in order to obey the court order.

If she has filed the order she should not be in hassle if she chooses to break it--yet she's making a great mistake if she does. The restraining order develop into positioned into result to guard her from this guy. The courtroom gadget won't take her heavily if she intentionally places herself in place to be close to him.

A restraining order is a law that involves a few amount of people (Like you can't get one on all Jews for example) & if the restraining is broken then the person who breaks it will go to jail or juvi. You're boyfriend has to want it in order for it to be passed.

It sounds to me like you are messing with him........
I don't care how you try to paint it.
Just leave him alone and quit F'n with him and you won't have a problem to begin with. otherwise you are going to find you and especially your parents in all kinds of legal and probably you.....Psychological issues.......You may find yourself in clinical treatment where you might need to be actually...

Go to court and fight it. Judges are not stupid.
