Q: In Nebraska, is it possible to get a re hearing for a harassment protection order or to expunge the order from public

In Nebraska, is it possible to get a re hearing for a harassment protection order or to expunge the order from public records after the time has passed? My ex filed one against me and submitted lots of manipulated evidence I was not prepared for This manipulated evidence had nothing to do with the order and I believe she did it to just put false information about me on public record. I just don't want that information viewable if it is not axcurate. The order was granted because of an email I sent 2 years ago, there was no relevant information as to why it should be granted now

A: You can appeal the granting of a harassment protection order just as you can appeal other final court orders. There are other potential motions to challenge a final court order, such as a motion to reconsider or a motion for a new trial depending on the specific facts of the case. Generally once the harassment protection order is granted and not appealed, then it remains on your record. I have never heard of the Court expunging a harassment or protection order.
