A:
To get your vehicle back when there's a restraining order in place, start by contacting law enforcement. Since your ex is violating a criminal protection order, it’s important to report the violation, especially if they’re withholding your vehicle. Document everything related to the situation, such as communication attempts and any threats or harassment.
You might also consider filing a motion with the court that issued the restraining order, asking for assistance in retrieving your vehicle. The court can provide specific orders for law enforcement to help with this process, ensuring your safety while recovering your property.
If you're in immediate danger or feel unsafe confronting the situation, prioritize your safety and avoid direct contact with your ex. Let authorities handle the vehicle recovery to minimize risk.
