I just wanted to ask what you guys think I should do. My old roommate that I kicked out a few months ago and had the cops even come to the house to supervise her and her family leaving. She was really out there..I have a new roommate who is wonderful and I just found out that this girl that I thought had moved out of the state is back and came to the house and sad bad things to this young girl that is Austic who is wonderful with my daughter and me. She upset my new roommate to the point that she doesn't want to leave the house alone. Said bad things about me and everything. I'm worried that she is back, and what she might do. What legal rights do I have to make sure she stay's away? Sheri
Sheri, see http://www.womenslaw.org/NC/NC_how_to.htm for a starting point on where to go. You may be able to get a 50B order (domestic violence protection order) against her. One of the qualifications for having a "domestic relationship" is being a former household member. Even though we wouldn't think of roommates being in a domestic relationship, it fits the wording. Now, as the site says, some judges may not see that as a domestic relationship, in which case you would then qualify for a 50C no contact order. It's basically the same thing as as 50B order, but is a civil issue if violated (not criminal), and can be used for non-domestic relationships. Of course, don't forget about good old trespassing. If she comes back around, see if you can get the police there without her knowing. When they show up, tell her (in front of the police) that she's not allowed on the property anymore. If she shows up after that, the police will hopefully have logged somewhere that she was trespassed, and she can go to jail the next time. But, a trespassing charge is about the most minor charge you can go to jail for, so it's not going to keep her locked up for days or months or anything. Good luck.
dg You can place a no tresspass judgement order against her/ and a harrassment order on her as well. That way if she shows up again she will be hauled away in cuffs. Hear and heed my advise. It is worth the small trouble to call the cops. I have had this problem before. f you ignore this the problem will just get worse.
Thanks for the tips, I'm pretty sure she won't come over here when I'm home. I wasn't home when she came up to my new roommate. I was more upset of the fact that she did talk to her and said things that wasn't true. Thank god, my new roommate didn't beleive her and she even told the "OLD" one that I remind her of her mother. I was touched, but she didn't like the girl at all and normally she won't talk to people she doesn't know. But, the girl just kept talking to her. Told her that she wouldn't be safe in the house and stuff like that. I was upset. Sheri
