Q: My husband filed a false TRO against me. I missed the hearing b/c the wrong address was on the paperwork. I scheduled an
Ex-parte hearing for this monday morning to see the judge but am wondering if I need to go about this another way such as filing a motion to dismiss or something to that effect. Or do I just go in front of the judge and explain my case?? Also I want to note that the FRO has not been served on me yet. I don't now if that makes any difference or not.
A:
Just go explain your case, and if the judge wont dismiss the TRO then you will need to see an attorney who specializes in Family Law to help you.
This is a very sad case, as the Domestic Violence Restraining ORders can have long term effects on work, your civil rights and if you have children, child custody and how often, if at all, you see your children.
That's why I wrote my book, A Man's Guide To Domestic Violence, available on Amazon.com, BN.com and www.MensFamilyLaw.com as an e-book download.
