Family Harassing me at work

[mkeyser]

It all started about 3 years ago, when i had a falling out with my family. For months i was receiving harassing phone calls and emails, and about once a year my father would visit me at work and cause a scene. I have move from my apartment so they do not know where i live, change all of my email addresses and phone numbers to stop the calls but, I still work at the same office. They continue to stop in unannounced to work and cause a scene. I am afraid i might get fired. Its never the same day so i cant prepare for it, and it happens so infrequently that i can not get a restraining order on them. Is there anything i can do to make them stop?

I'm not aware that frequency is one of the things a court will consider when deciding whether to grant a restraining order.

What is the situation at your workplace? Is there a receptionist or security guard who could be given a picture of your relatives and told not to admit them?

At a minimum, you could send your folks a letter via registered mail advising them that you are putting them on notice they are jeopardizing your job security, and that you will treat any further attempts by them to contact you at work as intentional interference with your job and you will sue for lost wages. It might scare them off. Then again, if they're nuts, it might just aggravate them.
