Is my X violating his restraining order?

David M

It's property line to property line. Afterall, he's not going to confine himself to inside his house. This is clearly a violation of the restraining order. It can't be the only house available in your community. You should file a Motion for Order to Show Cause why he should not be held in contempt of Court for violating the Court order. Judges are not happy when their orders are disobeyed.

If it says 100 yards and he is less than 100 yards, then he is in violation. Report him immediately.

Your city has many many other places he could be living. Definitely contact a lawyer right away. He's there to keep tabs on you.

He sounds crazy. I had one of those at one time in my life. You need to consult an attorney pronto.

I think he is very much in violation of his restraining order. How he thinks he can get away with such intimidating behaviour is beyond me.

Go to whoever issued the restraining order (with a property survey) and report him. Like now!!!!! How hard is that?

Get in touch with your attorney and let him take it to the judge who will decide the case on its merits. Probably he has moved in too close. But don't count on it.

I obviously don't know the exact terms of your order, but it may simply be 100 yards from your person, as opposed to your property.

However I would certainly take this to your lawyer, as even if it doesn't directly violate the terms of the order, it may be cause for a judge to clarify.

I don't know what the lawyer will tell you- but I would be VERY suspicious. It sounds to me like someone's trying to find a sneaky loophole.

He's toast, call the District Attorney, if he moved there after the restraining order, his azz will be moving out real fast........

Smurfette!

In my opinion yes he is. A good lawyer will fight for you and say that he deliberately bought his house with the purpose of intimidating you. He knew about the restraining order when he bought the house, therefore he knew what he was doing!

It shouldn't matter the measure. It is clear he is about to harass you at any point of time. If he walked down the street or even drive down the street he will be in front of your property and YOU! Where are the mailboxes? Where does the garbage go? I would stand for it, high tail it to the prosecutors tomorrow morning and raise cain.

Not trying to be nosy or overbearing but seeing you have the order it sends chills up my spine!! Sally what are his motives for moving in right next door to within an or inches of your property? Your offender moved in next door? Thats really creepy and i hope you would agree its to close for comfort and if he's really that dangerous i would be really afraid what if he snaps one day will you be the victim of his anger or unpredictable behaviors? usually when ppl have to even get an order things are already way out of control!!! i'm scared for you would you pls consider having some back up methods of emergency while he lives there just in case especiallly if there are children at home as well everyone's well being is at stake as long as he lives there - find out legally what you can do to change the distance on the order and force him out thats what i would do.

Contact your lawyer and see to it that the judge who issued the order knows immediately also... Your ex may be under the impression that the specific number of yards he is away from you is all that matters... if however the court finds it to be intimidation or harassment, he may be facing much worse. Stalking is a serious crime now... and if they consider him an imminent danger to you (depending on what he did to you to deserve the RO) there may be more you can do.

It depends on the laws of your jurisdiction for how it must be measured. However, you should go see an attorney in your area NOW. Your safety does indeed depend on it. If your ex is not violating the restraining order, it is probably to your benefit to MOVE to a different location, and get a PO Box so that your ex can send anything to your box and not directly to you (so he/she doesn't have your address). Go get an attorney.

Mani

i think he would be as to make full use of his property and ur own u will have to come within that 100yd line rite?

let the judge know and i'm sure it can get sorted out.

Gemz L

That sounds like a restraining order violation to me. Get him reported!

josephrob2003

sounds like he did it to get at you,any normal guy would be glad to see the back of his former partner.check it out before getting yourself into expense

fdm215

I would report it to the policing authority. It certainly seems as though he intends to thwart the order. Be careful...

Colt

He's a sick one. Forget the piece of paper, that won't stop him. A .45 will.

BOB

Go to wall mart and buy your self a Polaroid . the proof is in the pudding.

laughter_every_day

If it says 100 yards from you, they will measure from him to you. I would certainly alert the DA to this development. It may be possible to get an order prohibiting him from moving in to the house.

roscoe joe

Really think about what dk has already said.

Report him immediately.

yes call your attorny

lavender

you need to deal with this straight away , i know its not the answer or fair but honestly you should think about moving so he has no idea where you are.i would find his actions very scarey an im sure you dont need the worry

jglawson80

It is irrelevent how close his property is to yours. The 100 yard distance in your restraining order is 100 yards from YOU, not your house or your property. Also, in some jurisdictions, they do do not count his place of residence unless the order explicitly states that he can not have a residence within a certain distance of your house. It sounds like he found a loophole. MOVE AWAY NOW, get a PO Box and an unlisted phone number. This will prevent him from being able to look up your address in the future.

prettywoman

Are you able to move?

You know what would be really good news here, is that if you were in rented and he bought privately and was hashed with a mortgage and you just gave up the tenancy and moved... haha!! Vicious bit arent I??

He is being such a petty minded as s and maybe your best bet would be to ignore him. That way he can see for himself that you are not bothered any more which I think will do far more to his already dented ego than you making a huge song and dance over it.
Making a big fuss will just give him reason to think you still care, and you dont do you? Eh? GIRL POWER!!
Hope it all works out for you!

jlohlinger

Buy a gun... the justice system won't stop him... or intervene in time...

Joey m

Your ex sounds like a kook. He pulled this off without you knowing about it until he moved in? Come on! You should have done something about it sooner.

Go back to your attorney and let him/her fight this for you. Your ex might possible have to pay your attorney's fees in addition to all of his other associated costs for being such an a*shole and worse.

Karmens Mommy

he might be...call ur D.A. and im sure they could tell you
