A: I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing. Navigating legal matters involving restraining orders and allegations of domestic violence can be incredibly stressful. The information provided below aims to help you understand your rights and options.

In New York, violating an order of protection (commonly known as a restraining order) is a serious matter that can result in criminal charges and potential jail time. For the order to be enforceable against you, you must have been properly served or have actual knowledge of its existence. If you were unaware of the restraining order because you were not served or notified, this lack of knowledge could be significant in your defense. The prosecution would need to prove that you knowingly violated the order.

Your daughter's accusation that you attempted to strangle her is a serious allegation that could lead to criminal charges such as assault or strangulation under New York Penal Law. The court will consider all evidence presented, including testimonies from your daughter, son, and husband, as well as any evidence you provide to support your innocence. The judge will assess the credibility of all witnesses and examine factors like the consistency of testimonies, potential motives to fabricate, and any physical evidence such as medical records or photographs.

If you are convicted of violating an order of protection or assaulting your daughter, there is a possibility of jail time, especially given the serious nature of the allegations.

It is important to take immediate action to protect your rights. Consult an experienced criminal defense attorney who specializes in domestic violence cases in New York. An attorney can help you understand the charges, represent you in court, and work to protect your rights. Gather any evidence that supports your version of events, such as text messages, emails, or witness statements from people who can attest to your character and the relationships within your family. Document any instances that may demonstrate a motive for false accusations.

If there is an active restraining order, refrain from contacting your husband or children. Violating the restraining order, even unintentionally, can lead to additional charges. Make sure to attend all scheduled court dates, as failure to appear can result in a warrant for your arrest and negatively impact your case. If English is not your first language, request a court interpreter to ensure you fully understand the proceedings. Cultural considerations may also be important in explaining family dynamics to the court.

While the situation is serious, understanding your rights and the legal process can help you navigate this challenging time. Legal representation is critical to present your case effectively and to challenge any false allegations made against you.

A: Socialism in Greece has often encompassed concepts such as anti-establishment, gender equality, communism and social progressivism. Socialism in the United States followed an Obama concept characterized by a federal father guiding and leading his citizen children. Dad will take care of all the details and the children just need to follow rules.

One major federal family rule is there shall be no violence in the home or a socialist-inspired legal process will follow. This process causes immediate relief for the victims in the form of orders of protection followed by a prosecution of the perpetrator. The judge's hands are tied to the federal family violence money and the case goes on for a while. No one asks the perpetrator for her side of the story because the Obama philosophy cannot envision that a victim is in error. No victim lies and no victim can ever be punished for lying because no victim should be inhibited from reporting violence.

This cockamamie scheme violates everything the U.S. Constitution stands for. The Bill of Rights clearly spells out the limitations on government for the prosecution of crimes. Improper voting brings in politicians like Obama who do not recognize individual citizens as being capable of dealing with their daily affairs. The government must take away citizen authority and place it in a ruling elite that knows everything and can do everything.

The asker must treat her legal process extremely seriously. She must retain legal counsel to blunt the trust of the family, and in the future perhaps depart her family.
