Harassment Restraining Orders – Your Questions Answered
What constitutes harassment under Minnesota law?
Harassment can range from physical or sexual assault, repeated behaviors that harm someone’s safety, privacy, or consistent unwanted contact like calls or texts. The law takes a broad view, making legal guidance crucial.
Can an HRO be issued without me being there?
Yes, an Ex Parte HRO can be issued without a hearing based on the petitioner’s request alone. Contesting this swiftly is key to preventing it from becoming permanent.
What if the evidence against me is strong?
There are strategies, even in challenging situations. Options like stipulating to an HRO without admitting the allegations can sometimes be a prudent path to mitigate consequences.
What should I do if I’m served with an HRO in Minnesota?
The first step is to call a dedicated HRO attorney as you have only 20 days to request a hearing. Quick action is essential to your defense.
How can Shek Law aid my HRO case?
With a comprehensive understanding of what courts consider as harassment, I can challenge the petitioner’s claims effectively, often demonstrating inconsistencies or motivations in their allegations.
What happens if the petitioner doesn't show up to the hearing?
The court may dismiss the HRO petition, but it’s critical to present a strong argument for dismissal with prejudice to prevent any future claims on similar grounds.
