Can one get a restraining order against a person living in the same house as me?
Sure. There’s no requirement that the petitioner and respondent in a restraining order matter reside separately as a condition to obtaining a restraining order or protective order, although it is common for for a petitioner who is currently residing with the respondent (or who recently resided with, but then fled) to escape the danger posed by the respondent) to ask that the restraining order or protective order eject the respondent from the marital or shared residence as a means of ensuring that one is protected.
