Q: see below
My girlfriends step dad attacked her and her mom and was arrested for 2, 2nd offense domestic violence, we all live in the same house but he is not allowed back right now due to his charges. He filed a PPO on myself because I got involved and broke up him strangling my GFs mom. If for some crazy reason he is allowed back in the house would I have to leave?
A: Yes, you would have to leave if he was granted a PPO against you. If you feel that the PPO isn’t warranted, you can seek to terminate it. This involves filing a motion to terminate the PPO with the court and scheduling a hearing date. I would suggest hiring an attorney to do this for you because you will have a better chance of getting the PPO terminated.
