It is used by someone who is in fear of being harassed by another person or persons to request a court order for protection from harassment. It is commonly used when a victim has been subject to repeated offensive or intimidating behavior, such as physical or verbal threats, stalking, or cyberbullying. The Petitioner must provide an affidavit to the court, which is a written statement of facts that they swear are true. The affidavit must include the Petitioner's name, address, and contact information, as well as the name and contact information of the person who is doing the harassing. The Petitioner must also provide details about the alleged harassment, including the type, frequency, and any previous attempts to stop it. There are two types of Minnesota Petitioners Affidavit and Petition For Harassment Restraining Order: an Ex Parte Order, which is a temporary order that is granted without a court hearing; and a Plenary Order, which is a more permanent order that requires a court hearing. Both types of orders can be issued to prevent the harasser from continuing their behavior and to protect the Petitioner from future harassment.
