Question posted in the General Law category relating to Northern Cape

Good morning, I hope you can help me with a matter. I have a family member that lives in the same yards as me and my husband, every time he gets drunk he gets violent towards us and keeps swearing that he will stab us. Is there any legal action I can take against him to prevent him from disturbing us.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

Yes, you can obtain a protection order against him. If he does it again, you will then need to get him arrested for assault.

Att. Patrick

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required payment, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make payments for their questions.
