so my mom kicked my dad out of the house 3 months ago and shes been talking to a guy and I really don't like him can I file a restraining order or something similar if he didn't commit a crime?
Hi John! In New York, you generally need to show that someone poses a threat or has committed acts of harassment to obtain a restraining order. Simply disliking someone is not usually sufficient.
Is there any specific behavior from this person that makes you feel unsafe or threatened?
