Q: I bonded my Son out for a violation of an Ex Parte Protection order that he had no knowledge of. NONE!
We now know she had a Protection order filed in one county and then withdrew and started one in another county. No knowledge of either and no motion to transfer jurisdiction as well.
A:
While it is possible to get an Order of protection started and signed, Ex Parte (one sided), any OP must then hold a hearing, and Notice the alleged offender of the same. You should be allowed to be heard, in case the OP is a fraud or there are other problems.
Most people forego the hearing, and live with the OP. I wouldn't. It is never a good look, and can have drastic effects on your life, in many ways.
I hope this helps.
A: If he did not know there was a protective order he may have a defense to the charge. Retain a lawyer
