My question involves restraining orders in the State of: New Hampshire
I have full custody of my ex-husband's daughter. He has supervised visits. The birth mother has a no contact order. Their son lives with the birth mother's mother. He also has a no contact order for all of my children via our divorce decree. The grandmother keeps stalking my daughters at their bus stop after I told her she was not allowed any more contact because of violating the no contact orders on her daughter, ie passing pictures, notes, messages, gifts etc. This continued after, but at her bus stop. Thursday morning when I was at work and the girls were on their way to their bus stop she was waiting for them with her grandson, their brother and half brother with the no contact order. She allowed him to get out of her car and go to them. I filed for a restraining order on the grandmother on behalf of my daughter(s) in superior court because I am not related to her and the family court stated that I had to do it in that way.
My question is, does she have to testify? (She's 14 and willing to but I don't want her to have to be confronted/confront her grandmother openly if she doesn't have to.)
And also does there have to be a threat of physical harm, or is the emotional harm she is causing 'damage enough' to qualify for a restraining order? (I believe her counselor will testify to this.) I'm not sure if stalking is a separate thing to file for, or if it can be included also.
I hope this is clear enough to get definitive answers. Thank you for reading.
