A: You have to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney with extensive domestic violence trial experience to protect your interests in this matter. Your question cannot be answered in this forum with such limited information. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
A: You need to talk with a family law attorney who regularly handles domestic violence matters so that he can review with you the current status of the temporary restraining order (whether it has been dismissed or is still active) and if active, where she represented that she was living and whether she had the right to move into your home.
