We have an order of protection against our neighbor (who is less than 50 ft away) for almost a year because he pulled a knife on my husband in our driveway and makes repeated threats to "get him". Since then, we have had to put up surveillance around our entire house and are in constant fear every time we are outside because the man is extremely mentally unstable and continues to harass us and make threats of violence. He has been in jail over 4 of the last 6 weeks due to violations of his restraining order, and we are at the end of our rope! From the very beginning of the harassment over a year ago, we have made repeated contact with his landlord asking for his help, and recently, asking that he remove the neighbor from the property for the safety of our children and ourselves. He tells us over and over again he will see what he can do about getting him out of the house, but nothing is ever done. We need to know what our options are for filing a civil lawsuit. We feel we have exhausted all other avenues!
