Q: Can someone who violated an injunction twice get it modified if the other party doesn’t want it to be?
I have a permanent injunction against my ex boyfriend. It went into effect in August of 2018. Since then he has violated it twice, and was convicted both times. The first violation was in September of 2018. The second violation was in May of 2019. From May 2019-December 2019 he was incarcerated for that second violation. He has now filed to modify the injunction so that he can have contact with our 2 daughters that are also on the injunction. I do not agree with this nor do I think It is safe for him to have contact with them as he has done nothing to change his behavior. He lives less than .3 miles from me & i will be even more terrified if this injunction is modified or dismissed with him living so close.
A: A person can always seek a modification. It is up to you to present your case and convince the judge that your position is the correct one.
