Stalking (Non-Domestic) PPO - To qualify for a stalking (non-domestic) PPO you are not required to show a relationship with the respondent. However, you must establish that the respondent has shown a pattern of behavior including two or more separate incidents that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested and that actually causes the person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested.

​Sexual Assault PPO - For a sexual assault PPO there is no relationship requirement. The petitioner must be able to allege facts that demonstrate the respondent has perpetrated or threatened sexual assault against the petitioner. Evidence that a respondent has furnished obscene material to a minor petitioner shall constitute evidence that the respondent has threatened sexual assault against the petitioner. A petitioner may file for a sexual assault PPO regardless of whether the respondent has been charged with or convicted of a sexual assault or substantially similar crime. If the petitioner can show that the respondent does have a criminal conviction for sexual assault then the petition "shall be granted" per MCL 750.142.

  • Remove children from you if you have legal custody.
  • Interfere at your place of employment.
  • Interfere with your efforts to remove your children or personal property.
