    Default Peace Bond Across Borders for Harrassment

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Florida and Canada

    I had a breakup with my boyfriend over six months ago, and he has called and continued to send harassing e-mails during this time. They recently escalated to the point of near threats, with statements saying that people like me "cause people to kill" and that I would get what's coming to me. I had told him to cease contact, but after that point I told him further contact would result in my contacting police.

    Well, he contacted me again today, using the fourth email address so far (because I keep blocking others). They are very angry and threatening and I wish to get a Peace Bond to ensure he cannot take action to come here at all (he has my address).

    Can you get Peace Bonds across borders? I am in Canada and he is in Florida. I have printed copies of all e-mails he has sent thus far, but I have no idea who to contact about this.

    Please help if you can.

    A U.S court order would have to be registered for enforcement with a Canadian court, then approved for enforcement, before it would have any applicability in Canada.

    For now, I suggest making a local police report. If he ever shows up in Florida again, and this hasn't stopped, get him served with papers for an order of protection. If he violates that order, even from Canada, the Florida court can punish him for the violation if he again returns.
