I'm 4 months away from being 18 and my over-controlling dad has threatened to put a restraining order on my boyfriend. My boyfriend's 19; he'll be 20 the month before I turn 18. My dad never liked my boyfriend to begin with. However, my boyfriend never calls me and has only seen me against my dad's will. He's never harassed me, and we've never had sex. I'm concerned that my dad may attempt to give my boyfriend a record via restraining/stalking protection order or something. Can anybody tell me if my dad can file restraints or keep me from seeing my boyfriend? Is there some way to keep my dad from doing anything to my boyfriend or me?

For the next 4 months your Dad can file for a RO and prevent you from seeing BF, because you are still a minor.

As soon as you turn 18 he can't do anything. My suggestion:
4 months is a VERY short time so why not just stop seeing BF until your birthday? That way Dad won't be able to do anything AND you and BF's relationship will be stronger after going through seperation for the 4 months.

Sure there is. Wait until you are 18 and legally responsible for yourself to continue the relationship. Your parents have the right to control who you associate with until you are a legal adult.

I think separation for 4 months is a good idea in light of dad's legal abilities. i haven't seen my bf for 2 months already but what initiated my dad's threat of ro/stalking protection order was me calling my bf. i continued to call after he told me not to. i used my cell phone which i pay for. can he file for restraint if my boyfriend keeps taking my calls but continues to never call me? it seems like if i'm the one who's calling that my dad shouldn't be able to restrain my boyfriend...
