Who can apply for a Restraining Order?

In Alberta, you can apply for a Restraining Order if you have reasonable grounds to fear for your safety or the safety of your children due to another person’s harassing, threatening, or intimidating behaviour.

A Restraining Order can prevent the respondent from various actions, including contacting you or your children directly or indirectly, coming within a specific distance of your home, workplace, or school, and engaging in acts of harassment or intimidation.

A Restraining Order is generally warranted in situations where an individual is experiencing ongoing harassment, stalking, false accusations, intimidation, or threats from a former partner or someone else and they have a reasonable fear for the safety of themselves or their families.
