Restraining Order Question

What is the name of your state?Ohio

My question is can I get a restraining order against my husband's mistress. My husband and I live together still and she is constantly calling and emailing and messeging the computer that my husband and I share. She has continued to do these things though they have caused me to have two hospitalizations and two suicide attempts. I read that it is harassment if contact causes a safety issue and seeing that I have major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder and her constant contact is causing me so much emotional distress that it triggers my mental illnesses, causing deep depression, self-harm and suicide attempts, can I get a restraining order against her to stop her from contacting my home?

It is possible to get a restraining order depending on who is the receipient of the emails and if it is harassment. What is your husband doing? Are you still living together? Has he ended the affair? Are you in treatment and compliant with your treatmenet and medicaiton? You also realize that you can have a custom calling feature to have caller ID, block certain numbers, block numbers that do not have caller ID and on your computer you can block a buddy on IM services or block email messages from certain email addresses. That would also effectively eliminate the problem. No matter what you do, it won't work if your husband doesn't want to work with you on this.

That is not correct. First of all the police do not issue protective orders. If in a DV situation, the police can call the on call judge to issue a temporary.

You are forgetting, her husband lives in the home,(DUMB), but the fact remains. If the mails and calls are for him, at best she needs to block the address, and the phone number.

This whole thing is pretty incredible to read. Why she is there allowing him this is beyond me.

No you can't, but I won't waste anymore time on you. Why don't you focus on not being a criminal, and giving terrorist threats. The law is not something you know. You should also get a job!

CAREEN,
You may be able to, but it depends on several things:
1. Who are the messages and emails addressed to? When she calls does she ask to speak to your husband?
2. What is your husband's reaction to her contact attempts?

IF the contacts are directed to you specifically, you would most likely be able to get a restraing order, and would need to apply soon.
BUT:
IF the contacts are directed specifically to your husband, a judge would probably rule that you do not have standing for an order (however, your husband would)

The bottom line in this situation is this:
Your husband is the one who got involved with the mistress, it is now HIS RESPONSIBILITY to end all involvement with her, which means HE should file for a restraining order.
If he doesn't want to do that, it is probably time to rethink trying to work things out, as painful as that might be for you.
Remember, nothing is worth killing yourself over- NOTHING.

And to think Gracie, we didn't know what we were talking about. I hope she doesn't listen to this guy.
