Q: I filed epo on my x well he got served with epo. Now I don't want the epo do I have to go to court ? I want to dismiss
I went filed epo on my x and went to court on Monday judge said come back in 2 weeks bcos he hasn't been served well he got served. Cops come to my house and he was in bed and got arrested but we haven't been to court yet. Now what I want to know is we worked out things. I don rant to go to court hearing do I have to go ? And if I don't go can they dismiss this episode or do I have to go. I don't want to get in any trouble and don't want epo now . Monday is the 1st hearing. I'm deaf and he's hearing I don't understand the law but he's been arrested quite a lot for past 2 half yrs for abusing me. He said he wants one more chance so now what do I do ? Do I have to go to the hearing court or if I don't go will I go to jail or how do I get it dismissed? Or if I don't show up they automatically drop it usually v cos I filed once but didn't go to court and it was dismissed. Now he s been served now in jail we haven't even been to court yet so how can I get this resolved to dismiss this
A: Yes. You will have to go to court and ask the judge to dismiss the epo now.
