in minnesota orders for protection

the main difference between that and a

harassment restraining order would be

the

order for protection requires a

family or household relationship so

there’s a qualifying

relationship in order to obtain one and

it’s really focused on domestic violence

interference with a 9-1-1 call physical

assault among some other things

the filing is free for

the parties whereas a harassment

restraining order could be against any

person

a neighbor there doesn’t need to be a

qualifying relationship maybe some acts

of domestic abuse fall into harassment

restraining order territory

it can also just be you know repeated

unwanted contacts
