Q: Can a coworker obtain a no contact stalking order and us continue to work at the same company, or do I have to quit?
A coworker filed a petition for a no contact stalking, alleging that I have harassed and intimidated them while at work, damaged their property. Coworker has never mention these allegations to our supervisor/HR dept., never made them aware that they were filing a petition. Coworker did not aware them because they know that the allegations are false & unfounded, that none of the allegations can be corroborated by any one at work where they claim these incidents happened, no witnesses. They hope to get the No Contact order so I no longer be allowed at job site where they put as a protective address. Plaintiff never told the courts we were coworkers when filing petition. I will mention at trial. If they are successful in obtaining the order, would I have to quit or be fired? Can I file a motion or an objection? What can I do to keep my job/work in the same building if plaintiff is successful in obtaining order?
A: It appears that you may have to retain counsel to protect your legal interests with respect to that no contact petition that will affect your employment directly.
