I live in the state of California. My situation is this. My boyfriend has moved in with me. His name is not on the lease and all the utilities are in my name. He refuses to look for a job there for can not pay his part of the bills, and continually abuses me verbally. Then goes about his day like nothing has happened and is all hunky dory. He has threatened me and my family. Has call me every name under the sun and I am fed up with it. I am afraid though that if I ask him to leave and move his things out he will get violent and damage my property or hurt me. So my question is this. Can I get a restraining order against him even though all of his belongings are in my apartment? Help. What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
