We are having a problem with my brothers ex girlfriends mother. My brothers ex passed in the storm and he got her cremated. Her body was under water in the morgue for over three months and that seemed the most senseable thing to do.

Now my brother has met someone else who he will be marrying and they moved with his son to Illinois. My nephew wanted the remains of his mother and took them with him. We were told by a lawyer that my nephew has the first right to keep his mothers remains.

Now the problem is the mother of his ex has been harassing me for over a year, many times when i was in my fema trailer. And yesterday came to the house demanding the remains. I had bayou in my arms who was barking his head off, which i think scared her from forcing her way in. She threatened she would be back and knock whoever answers the door out of the way to get the remains. I informed her they are not here and to leave us alone. She demanded they were, that she had proof they were here. I did not tell her that my brother and nephew moved to Illinois because i didnt think it was any of her business. She still assumes that he is living in Metairie. She cares nothing of her grandson and has stated that many times in the past. With the threat she made yesterday, I called my brother and told him what had happened. He said for us to get a restraining order against her. Today i went to the clerk of courts office and got the paper work to fill out and get notarized to start the process.

My question is, if any one here has gone through the process of getting a restraining order and if they think it is worth getting? Or wait till she tries again and take care of it another way, which i care not to mention here.

When she came over yesterday she was high on something. And was every other time she came harrassing us. She is a pill head and is always under the influence of many drugs. Her boyfriend sits in the truck screaming at her inticing her to go further with her endeavor to make threats and harrass.

I don't know what exactly to do here and would like some suggestions from ya'll. Any opinion will be something for me to think about and probably help me to make a definite decision. I thank you all for your help in this.
