Is there anything I can do if the abuser keeps filing court cases against me?

Abusers often misuse court proceedings to continue the abuse. This is called “abusive litigation.” An example is if the abuser keeps filing baseless court cases against you just to harass you or be near you. If someone you have a sexual assault protective order against is doing this to you, you can ask the judge to issue an order to stop it.1 See our Litigation Abuse section for more information on how to do this.
