Q: I had a epo filled on me by my wife I caught having and affair, went to first court hearing and they said it could turn
Into a DVo I never touched her she touched me the day before she filled for the epo, any way I could take it to trial, also we have a house together we bought it 2 years ago but had everything put in her name, she later said I was a renter, anyway I can get reimbursed for upgrades and stuff I made to house if I have the receipts, figure I can’t get house payments back but maybe upgrades I made
A: The EPO/DVO is a separate and distinct action from a divorce action. All of the equitable issues you ask about will be raised and considered in the divorce action,not the EPO action.
