Matt came to our home and I protected my spouse and was injured because of it. Few days later I pressed charges for threats made by my brother . My mother got mad after the second charge and went to family court with false allegations and she got a order of protection against me which I was giving two hours to leave our home that my mom gave to me since she was in the process of moving in with my brother.

A: Based upon what you have said, the Family Court judge can appoint a lawyer for you at no charge to you in regard to the Order of Protection. Just be sure to let them know you cannot afford to hire your own attorney.
