Q: Does the respondent in an OP have to leave a non-banned public place (i.e. concert) if petitioner is there after we are?
My boyfriend is the respondent of a Plenary OP. His ex-girlfriend started coming after him after he and I began dating. Problem is, we like a lot of the same activities, such as concerts, and we reside in a very small community. Running into her will be inevitable. Should we be in a public place at the same time, not one banned specifically in the orders, who has to leave? What if we arrived before she did?
A: Normally, if u arrived first, she should be the one to leave. At a concert, you should be able to stay the required # of feet away from her.
