Q: What forms do I need to complete to file an injunction against my neighbor for lewd and lascivious acts?
Neighbor is a known drug addict and has bee seen on our security camera walking on our front porch naked from the waist down. He comes onto our property uninvited all hours of the day/night. This last time, he was wondering around my vehicle and the later walking on our porch in front of my son's bedroom windows.

A:
To file an injunction against your neighbor for lewd and lascivious acts, you will need to complete specific forms typically available from your local court or its website. Start by obtaining a "Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Repeat Violence" or a similar form that your jurisdiction uses for such cases.
Gather all your evidence, including security camera footage and any witness statements, to support your petition. Make sure to detail every incident with dates and times, describing the nature of the acts and how they have affected you and your family.
After completing the forms, submit them to the clerk of the court. They may require a filing fee, but some courts offer fee waivers based on financial need. Once filed, a judge will review your petition and may grant a temporary injunction until a hearing can be scheduled. Be prepared to attend the hearing with all your evidence to ensure the injunction becomes permanent.
