Q: Is there anything I can do to stop/ change an Order of Protection which has removed me from my home & Primary residence?
I did nothing but, have been told I said something of concern. Which I don't remember. The order also includes my 2 minor children.
I have been homeless for 4 months due to this Order. I am the primary homeowner. My girlfriend and mother of our 2 kids is in the home. She is the co borrower. She won't let me come home insisting I seek mental health care.
A:
I'm sorry to hear of your situation. You are in a very precarious situation. I STRONGLY recommend you consult with an attorney and have them review the Order of Protection and the deed to your house before you take any action.
If you have not done so already, you can challenge the Order of Protection. Be aware, if you challenge and lose, it really hurts your custody case and would almost certainly give her full custody.
