Q: What legal safe guards do I have to challenge 1. an eviction order and 2. a protection order i believe my mother may mak
My mother and I recently moved into a new home together. Unfortunately, issues from the past have re-emerged and created a storm of conflict that has irrevocably damaged our relationship. Can she retaliate against me by ordering me to vacate the home and/or by filing an order of protection, even though we both are co-owners of the house?
A:
Without more details, it is difficult to provide you with an accurate answer. Generally speaking, protective orders are not granted unless there is evidence to support it. If you are a co-owner, you cannot be evicted, however if a TPO is granted, you obviously cannot remain in the home. For these reasons, I encourage you to consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your interests.
