My mom had a problem with drugs and has been clean for about a year. Ironically enough, her 'partner in crime' has been in prison for a little under a year. My mom has been trying to get over her addiction for years and it has been a real struggle for her. This individual who is in jail has had a history of showing up at my parents' house, calling her cell phone and house line until she finally gives in. Since this person has been in jail, her life has been great. She hasn't used at all.
Because I am a criminal justice major, my mom asked me what she could do to make sure this person stays out of her life forever. The individual gets out of jail on August 15, 2008 and my mom is getting worried he will start calling her and showing up on her doorstep.
I believe he is in jail for back child support and a parole violation and possibly agg assault. I know that felons lose some of their civil rights but I'm not sure if any of these rights apply to her situation.
Can she just go in front of a judge and get some type of restraining order? Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
