What is the declaration of a restraining order?

A declaration is a sworn written statement telling your side of the story about the important issues in the case. The declaration of abuse is the most important part of your request for a domestic violence restraining order. You must be clear and detailed.

How to prove someone is harassing you?

Testimonies from the accuser and witnesses are often considered the most reliable and impactful evidence. Audio or video recordings and photographs can also be used to provide evidence in a harassment case. Forensic evidence, such as emails and text messages, can be used if available.
