Solved

I’ll give you some general guidance. To file a harassment-related civil case, you should obtain the official forms directly from your state or county court website or from the courthouse self-help center. These forms are usually free and often called civil harassment restraining order packets. You’ll need to describe the harassment in detail, including dates and events, and file the forms with the court clerk. Avoid third-party sites that charge fees.
