A: You don't lose any rights by being forcibly removed from your own home. The frustration you feel is felt by every, single male who is removed and now has to pay for two (2) residences. If you own it outright without your mate's co-ownership, simply sell it out from under her and buy a different home because as long as she wants to keep the NCO or CPO in place, she can by simply attending the continuation hearings. It S U C K S BIG TIME! It will be difficult to find a judge in Idaho, who will allow you to evict HER, as long as she plays the "victim" card. These No Contact Orders (the Idaho Supreme Court says) stand on their own, and don't depend on the criminal case being "ongoing." In other words, you could plead guilty to the crime and the case could be closed, and you'll still have an NCO because it doesn't depend on their being an "open criminal case."
