What type of legal order can a person seek in Guam for protection against harassment?

In Guam, a person can seek a restraining order for protection against harassment. A restraining order is specifically designed to prevent an individual from engaging in unwanted or harassing behavior towards another person. This type of legal order provides a formal mechanism to keep the harasser away from the victim, thereby ensuring the victim's safety and peace of mind.

When a restraining order is granted, it can prohibit the harasser from contacting or coming near the victim or their residence, which is particularly important in cases of harassment. The requirements and process for obtaining a restraining order typically involve demonstrating that there is a credible threat of harm, thereby allowing the court to take appropriate protective action.

While an injunction is similar and can also serve to prevent certain actions, it is generally broader in scope and more commonly associated with preventing violations in a variety of civil matters. Probation orders pertain to criminal sentencing and do not address harassment directly. An ex parte order can be a part of the restraining order process, allowing the court to issue an order without the harasser being present at the initial hearing, but it is not a standalone type of order specifically for harassment.
