Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

Re: Emotional Distress/Harrassment

READ THIS FIRST: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop reading now.

RESPONSE: Depending on the nature of the threats, you probably have grounds to seek a permanent injunction in court (i.e., a restraining order, for all intents and purposes) requiring her to stay away, but probably not an action for money damages.
