What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
This is a total mess but I am at my wits end, so I'll take it from the beginning. My mother married a man that happened to live across the street from me, they were together roughly 2 years and are in the process for divorce, anyway, she moved away and on with another man. Now me and my fiancé are being constantly harassed by the man everytime we step out our front door, we have tried ignoring it and he just continues, we called the police and they won't help, after the first time we called the police he smashed the front window out of my car and one of the windows in the house, we called the police and there were no arrests, went unpunished. Now my fiancé was out front tending to her flower garden the other day, as a side note she is 7 months pregnant, and he constantly harassed her and she tried to Ignore him and he came up with a knife and tried to attack her, we had this recorded on camera, showed local authorities, and they made an arrest for aggrieved menacing, he was out in an hour on bond, we tried getting a temporary protection order and the judge refused to sign it today, what can I do? I am scared of my own actions because I don't want to miss out on my child's life because of a low life. This man has a heavy criminal past and isn't afraid of harming me or my family, I officially have my hands tied and don't know what I can do. The law seems to just be on his side. I don't have money to move. What can I do at this point.
