How long after verbal abuse stops can I still file an injunction?
Answer
Not sure what you mean by "file an injunction." If you mean you wish to go to the Family Court in your area and file a family offense petition and secure an order of protection, there is no hard and fast deadline for time after the abuse stops, but common sense dictates that if a lot of time passes, you have no good reason to feel threatened and thus will have a hard time justifying your request for an order of protection. You should also be aware that not all "verbal abuse" would constitute a family offense under law.
