It can only be dissolved by the court that issued it. Most are for 6 months or one year. Once they expire, they're moot. One can petition to have the order dissolved or on good cause have it vacated and set aside if there is evidence it was entered erroneously.

Try these.  The first has disbarred attorneys and the second is for the New York list of attorneys--disbarred ones either won't be there or it will say so.

Send a certified letter to demand that they pick it up by a certain date, or you'll have it removed, or sold.  The law will protect you as long as you send the warning in writing and certified.  If you end up in court, you'll be safe.  Call your local police station and ask about the laws in your state regarding this, just to be safe.  Some states vary.

I urge you to look up and browse The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  It contains the rules creditors must follow in collection efforts.  \n\nAs for coming to your door, the Act prohibits conduct designed primarily to harrass, etc. -- and at least here in NY, knocking on your door for any reason other than a process serving handing you a summons to court strikes me as exactly that.

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

getting a restraining order will require proof of harassment or violence, and going to court. \n\nsince he is not on the lease, and you have asked him to leave, you have a very clear path to follow. \n\n1. Put together a written notice, signed by all residents of the apt., and add a witness just for good measure. keep a copy of it in a safe place. Give him an absolute deadline for when he must be out, with the clear stipulation that he will be removed by the police on a specific date if he does not, and charged with trespassing. if you're worried about stealing or vandalism in retaliation, make it clear to him that if such occurs, he will be charged to the fullest extent of the law.\n\n2. change the locks immediately thereafter. \n\n3. any damage or stealing that goes on in retaliation should be documented fully. (pics, witnesses.)

The exact procedures will vary by jurisdiction, but protection orders are normally enforced by the police and prosecuted by the district attorney's office.  Sometimes you need to provide a certified copy of the order to a centralized authority so any law enforcement agency can verify the existence of the order in order to enforce.\n\nIf the defendant was not present in court when the order was issued, you may need to arrange for a copy to be served on him or her.  You need to file the proof of service with the court and provide a copy to the agency that is the authority to verify the existence of the order.

We had this sort of problem for 5 years. We changed our phone number to private and we went to the police with all of our notes that we had taken. You have to keep a journal of all the incidents that happened and take it to them....if they just blow it off you have to go above their heads and make sure that you are taken seriously.\nBesides getting the private phone number, you need to get an order of protection so that this person can't come near you, if they do you can have them arrested.

go to the court house and ask for a form to petition the court to dismiss the OOP, they will help you complete the form if needed. Then you will generally have to appear in front of a judge, and explain why you want it dropped. You shouldn't need a lawyer to do this, but there may be a filing fee on the form. Your local laws may vary, but this is pretty much the standard procedure. Good luck

First ask them to smoke somewhere else.  And then if your state has a smoking ban of some type you can take legal action.  But I don't think a restraining order is what you are looking for.  They are actually called Personal Protection Orders and they are for when someone is threatening physical harm to you.  They will probably just laugh if you try and get one because someone is smoking near your window.\n\nIs this a house or an apartment?

That depends on who asked for it.If your husband asked for it then I don't think you can have it removed.If you made the request then you need to go and speak with the Judge that signed the order.
