Rohnert Park, CA asked in Civil Litigation, Domestic Violence and Criminal Law for California

Q: A person who has a CRO and TRO and trying to get me to change the terms in exchange for my car title. Is this extortion?

He pled guilty to battery. He has a CRO and a TRO. We had a contract where he would carry the loan for the car, but I made all the payments, etc... and the car would be signed over to me when it was paid. Instead of dealing with this as contracted, he wants to alter the TRO to allow him access to a specific college and not beholden to the restraining order. I want to know what the term is for what he is attempting. Thank You

A: a lawyer would need a lot more info.

i would suggest writing down all the facts and talking to a local lawyer.............each county can be different as well as each court without the county.........not to mention each DA within the court being different.

i am not sure from what you said that it is extortion but maybe coercion.........
