How to Get a Restraining Order in Nebraska

Physical violence often starts with harassment and veiled threats. In Nebraska, victims of harassing or threatening behavior can get a restraining order from a judge. This prevents a person from engaging in threatening acts against the victim. Nebraska has two types of restraining orders for personal protection: domestic abuse protection orders and harassment protection orders. A victim should first determine which law applies to her situation and how to request an order. She can then seek to stop the threatening behavior by petitioning a Nebraska court for a restraining order.
