Help Please!!!How can you prove in court that your being Harassed?

Ankhesan amun

You need to get someone from work - or a couple people from there, to walk outside with you, and make sure they SEE him there.

Have this happen a couple times. Then have those people called to court on your behalf.

You can't prove the rest unless the phone company will supply you with records but they can't prove beyond a doubt that it's him calling, unless he's calling from his own house, and even then....they can't be positive.

But, if you make those claims, and have people there to witness that he was outside your work on two occasions when he has no business in the area, they the court might believe the phone issues too.

Good Luck.

Keep a diary of dates and times you think you've been harrassed. Also keep all records of how and what he has harrassed you with. Courts need hardcopy paper and evidence of harrassments. If you can..get a photo of him hanging outside your office. Even a witness...(fellow colleague to verify his presence).

get a detailed bill from your phone company... this will show how many times he calls per day... try to video tap him outside your job on your phone or take a picture if you can... you can't use your word against his but the phone records should be a good push in your favor.

what about co-workers who have seen him at your job waiting for you, can't they testify? Take pictures of him waiting outside your work. call the police when he is there so they can write a report that he is stalking you. Change your cell or home phone so that he can't call you.

mhmmm

get a witness. have a friend around you so when he calls to harass you she'll be there to witness it. or record his phone calls on a tape recorder.

Is it the same number that he calls from all the time? Because get your phone records, get testimonies from your co-workers.

I don't know if they are admissable in court, but they have recorders that you can hook up to your phone to record the calls. I would suggest that as well, but I don't know if you are going to be able to use it.

If I were you I would call your phone company to see what they can do about it. RIght after you get a call from him, call your phone company...they have what number it is, so if you can ask them to block the last number called or whatnot. If that don't work, call you local police and ask what you can do.

In court you are going to need evidence through phone bills, police reports, first hand witnesses from co-workers etc. They will not just go by your word against his. You need actual proof.

Good Luck.

you must have an evidence to prove that you've been harassed..

Well have any co-workers talked to him while he has called ur work? Has he called ur work and asked for u? If so u could get those co-workers to testify that he keeps calling u at work. Also did any co-workers see him waiting for you outside of work? If so again they could testify. Also I would recommend u write down all the times and dates he harassed you this way u will remember better when u are in court.

Record every phone call. Carry a recorder on yourself at all times. Call the police and get a restrainting order on your ex husband. He's got to know he's crossed the line.

Witnesses, if he comes to your job then you need to make them aware of your situation. Have someone walk out with you when you get off, see if you can have one of them testify in court. Im not a lawyer but im pretty sure you cannot prove that it is him calling you from a blocked number, I would suggest just changing your number.

No, no, no....if he's waiting outside your work and also calling there, you should be able to get statements from co-workers to prove he is harassing you.

Have your job pull phone records, if they will voluntarily. The phone company can trace even blocked calls if necessary, but usually need a court order to do it.

You can have your attorney request the supeonas for the information from your job and phone company to release the records, stating that you need those records as proof, and need the courts assistance to get it, and request a new hearing date to present your evidence.

If you know HIS cell phone #, have his company release their records, too. Match up his blocked calls to your number with your records of getting a blocked call, and the calls dialed to your company. Hopefully he was dumb enough to make the calls from a cell or land line.

You might need witnesses that has seen him there or a pic with times and dates on them or phone bills where he has called you anything that can prove he is there or around where you are watching you this in Kentucky would be considered harassment but also stalking charges could be placed on him. Good Luck but the most i think will happen is that if you feel in danger or he has threatened you they will order him to stay away from you or put him under an epo.

phone records and witnesses are both good, you might think of filing a restraining order on him. If he violates that, he more than likely will go to jail.
If you have witnesses, coworkers and friends, they can testify in your behalf.
The only way to prove it is him calling is to have an answering machine or to record it. ( make sure you are aware of the recording laws in your state)
Hire an attorney to help you and give you the knowledge of legally protecting yourself.

fluffball

it will properly be your word against his but if does get dismissed the get an restraining order so then if he comes near you he will be arrested hope this helps
