Laws current as of July 19, 2024 What can I do if the abuser keeps taking me to court?
If the abuser keeps filing court cases or motions against you in order to abuse, harass, intimidate, or threaten you, or to have contact with you, it could qualify as “abusive litigation.” You can file papers in court to request an order restricting abusive litigation if certain requirements are met.
