OP is correct - they don’t have a qualifying relationship under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, which is how NJ does restraining orders. OP, you CAN, while municipal harassment complaints are pending, get the municipal court judge to put a no contact provision into any continuance orders. You can also possibly file a civil complaint for harassment and seek a no contact order through the Chancery division of the Superior Court, but that can be very hit or miss.

Reply to comment by Algae-Ok in Any advice on my ex bf’s ex wife who keeps contacting me and harassing me? Even after I filed a harassment complaint at my local police dept. officer contacted her and told her to stay away and not make contact. She has continued. What can I do next? by enabed
