A Protection from Stalking, Sexual Assault, or Human Trafficking Order (PFS) is a court order to protect you from someone who stalked, sexually assaulted or trafficked you. It is available even if you have no relationship with that person. It is also free.
You can petition for yourself. Or, you can petition for a child under the age of 18, when you are their parent, court appointed custodian/guardian, or an adult who lives with the child.
You are the “plaintiff.’ The person you are seeking protection from is known as the “defendant,” or the adverse party.
