Start with a restraining order. It should have more details.

Start out by reporting her for disturbing the peace. Do it every time she starts screaming at you. If they won't come out and do anything about it, this is what you do. Go to the Police Dept during regular business hours and file a complaint regarding lack of response on your problem. Tell them that you feel threatened by this woman. Keep a journal of every time you call and everything she does. Write down dates and times for everything. After you have several calls down and several incidents recorded, go to your city or county courthouse and ask the clerk of court about filing for a protection order. A protection order says that she can no longer attempt to communicate with you in any way. She can still yell at your husband or guests, but not you. Once you are at that level, go to your apartment managers again with copies of all this information. Still can't get rid of her? Take your info to an attorney for civil matters. You may have a nice case for a lawsuit. You may also want to have your husband file for a protection order as well. Hopefully you get a good repsonse from the police and she starts getting tickets for disturbing the peace. Do you know her name? You can check with the county courthouse and get her criminal record if she has one. Check with them and see what they will charge you for the information. In my area it's ten dollars for anybody's info. Build up and save your evidence and you should see her going bye bye, before long. If I can be of any further assistance, let me know.

Let me help you some. If there are no custody orders in place, you both have equal rights to your daughter. If that is the case, I would suggest going directly to the county courthouse and file both an immediate custody order and a restraining order on him for the threats. These usually will only be good for 30 days. After that time, you must go to a hearing and plead your case to the judge as to why the father shouldn't have any rights. \n\nAdditionally, when you go to the hearing, be as detailed as you can. Have dates, times, and names. Present everything chronologically and don't let your emotions rule your testimony. For a judge to deny a father's right is a huge deal and they don't take it lightly.\n\nAnother suggestion: If they ask you to try mediation, don't do it if you think he is truely dangerous/manipulating as you make him out to be. Mediation does not grant any court issued orders. It only says on paper that you and he will try to abide by the rules you both set out in mediation. If he violates the mediated rules, nothing happens to him. Get a solid set of custody orders signed by a judge only.\n\nOnce those orders are in place, you file a police report every time he violates the order, EVERY TIME! If you don't report his violations, you just empowered him to do as he sees fit.\n\nGood luck. By the way, what state are you in?

You can go back to the court that issued the order and request that it be dismissed.  They will make you pay the court costs of dismissing the order.\nHowever, if you had justification to get a protection order, it will be a mistake to have it dismissed.  It sounds like you have too many men in your live trying to make your decisions for you.  \nPerhaps you might want to learn how to make your own decisions and quit being a victim.  \nAny man that hits you doesn't deserve to be with you.  No second chances after physical violence.

I had the same problem with my ex.  You should block her number and emails.  If she cant get to you that way though she will probably have to come to you. Getting a restraining order is you best bet to get rid of her. If you have that on file then if she comes near you she will be in trouble and if she gets hurt it will not come down on you.  If you get the restraining  order nothing will happen to her unless she violates the order. Please get the restraining order that is how I stoped it.

if you have any of the messages (e-mail and phone) take them to the police....(if you don't its ok but its good to have that as evidence) ask to get a restraining order put on him. they will give him a warning and issue the order telling him he cannot contact you in any form or he will be arrested...make sure to tell them you fear for your life to expedite the procedure...

Read the restraining order.  What does it say?\n\nLiekly not, since it has to be within  a physical number of feet (I think)\n\nBut, read the restraining order.  The police have it, he ccan get a copy of it if he doesn't already.

Go to the police department; and/or the district attorneys office of your state/county.   Restraining orders are generally given in any case where the petitioner can show that they have been physically assaulted or have reason to believe they will or will again be assaulted.   First assaults, should be reported to the police and a request for a restraining order made; on-going harassment and/or assaults should be reported to the district attorneys office

Court order or restraining order has worked for many people.  Ask your lawyer.

Suggest you go to DVMen.org for discussions of how the emergency protection/restraining order system is set up and has been used and abused.  Police can usually arrest where there is probable cause, and that can be established by statements of "victims."

No.  A legal restraining order MUST be served on the individual named.  It also must be served by a Sheriff or Constable who can then make proper return to the issuing court.....
