I believe her no contact order was for 3 years per the judge. Is there a way I can petition to have the judge remove this order?
answered on Nov 23, 2020
She can always make the request if SHE wants to remove it
I I tell my clients to wait to see if she will forget about you and not renew it at the end of three years if you are still on probation. Talk with a lawyer in the county where the order is to get specific advice.
Due to lack of a lawyer, than the lawyer pushed the hearing back 3 months, from September to December, then the lawyer dropped the client due to lack of payments, the client gets a new lawyer 3 weeks before the alimony hearing, can the case be pushed back again

hopefully, you have a lawyer who can fill the judge in on the past history.
There is a restraining order currently that states no contact whatsoever, and a pending criminal order from the DA waiting to be served upon booking.

You committed extortion when you threatened to call the police if you were not paid. That does not change whether you have a meritorious and valuable legal claim for the wrongdoing that was being done. It just gives the "victim" of the extortion the right to file a lawsuit against you,... View More
