What can a judge include in an order restricting abusive litigation?
A judge who believes that litigation is abusive will dismiss, deny, strike, or otherwise resolve any motions or other legal actions “with prejudice,” which means that they cannot be re-filed.1 In an order restricting abusive litigation, the judge may include any conditions that are necessary and appropriate, including:
awarding you reasonable attorney’s fees and the costs of responding to the abusive litigation; and
putting pre-filing restrictions on the abuser to prevent him/her from filing any future cases against you or your children without court permission.2
