A: This is extremely serious and you cannot handle this on your own. You need to have an in person consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney, who has extensive domestic violence trial experience. Your questions and concerns cannot adequately be dealt with in this forum. You need the best attorney you can afford, do not let geographic considerations be a factor in your choice of an attorney. Good luck.

A: Listen to Attorney Leonard Boyer otherwise if you don't you may need to hire a criminal lawyer like me if you violate the order.
