How do I get an injunction against harassment?

The steps for getting an injunction against harassment (IAH) are similar to the steps for getting an order of protection. However, instead of proving domestic violence, you have to prove that the defendant harassed you. Also, there is no option to ask law enforcement to file for an emergency IAH as there is for an emergency order of protection due to domestic violence.

When filing for the injunction, you must tell the court if there are or were any other court proceedings regarding the defendant’s harassment towards you or any other injunctions in effect.1
