Q: I was living with my mother. My brother got a restraining order against me in order for me to leave my home.
In mother’s trust she stated “any family member who does not have a home may live in the house.
A: If your brother obtained a restraining order against you while you were living with your mother, it's important to seek legal advice from a qualified attorney. Although your mother's trust may state that family members without a home can live in the house, a restraining order can take precedence over that provision. Restraining orders are intended to protect individuals from potential harm and often come with specific limitations, such as staying away from certain locations or individuals.
