Query Concerning Restraining Orders...

Can you file a Restraining Order against the client of private investigators that have been hired to follow you (To get the clients to stop hiring the private investigators)? And if the surveillance continues, how are you able to prove the Restrainig Order has been broken? Thanks for any replies.

That very much qualifies as a "maybe, depending on the facts and local law" question. I'd contact a lawyer with experience in handling domestic restraining orders. Daniel Reitman

The court issues one. That is, they aren't granted on demand. In a claimed emergency, you can file for a temporary restraining order which can be granted almost on demand (but you need some prima facie proof of danger to you) which will lead to a hearing to see if a long term one will be granted. You need to demonstrate that conditions exist endangering you or that the investigators' behavior rises to a level of legal nuisance before courts here will grant you such an order of protection. The standards for issuance vary by region. Often you need to be in fear of physical harm. Nothing in your post indicates to me that you'd be granted a restraining order in any jurisdiction I'm familiar with. -paul ianal
