BitLife regularly challenges you to complete obscure and rare tasks. One of the tougher missions you may encounter, especially when working through challenges, asks you to get a restraining order.
While some quests are fairly easy to figure out on your own, others are complex, and getting a restraining order is one such feat. This isn’t a feature you likely run into often while playing, so if you’re struggling to figure out what needs to be done, here’s how to get a restraining order in BitLife.

How to have a restraining order filed against you in BitLife

The easiest way to get a restraining order is to harass someone into filing one against you. This is easiest to do with your exes, but can be done in any relationship, whether it be friendly, romantic, or otherwise.
To get a restraining order filed against you, click on the person you want to have file one. Then, select the Stalk option frequently. You can also choose the Call and Message options alongside this, selecting negative options like arguing with them to help speed the process along. Keep stalking and otherwise bothering them as much as you can.
If you keep at it, you’ll eventually get a pop-up letting you know that the person you’ve been bugging has filed an order against you. How long it takes to get this pop-up varies, but as long as you don’t give up, you will get it eventually. The specific time frame of each restraining order varies, but they have the same effect, which means you’ll be instructed to break all contact with the individual who filed it going forward.

How to file a restraining order in BitLife
Filing a restraining order against someone else is a fairly tough task in BitLife, as it can only be done when certain events unfold. Specifically, you must have an ex or stalker who refuses to leave you alone. When this happens, you’ll get a pop-up asking if you want to file a restraining order against them.
There’s no way to file a restraining order against someone outside of this specific type of event, so it’s not a feature you’ll be able to make use of very often. If you’re working through a challenge that tasks you with getting a restraining order, the best way to do so is by having one filed against you, typically by harassing an ex until they’ve had enough of your antics.
Restraining orders are a key part of the Crazy Ex challenge, so now that you know how to get one, you’re ready to tackle this trial.
