My ex had her friend serve me with a restraining order, but address line is not filled out, and some other information is incorrect or invalid. Also I was given nothing to sign upon service. Does this make it invalid?

did police arrest you? if so, you would go to Juv Ct and a public defender would be appointed for you if you did not hire your own attorney.
did police determine who was at fault?

more info needed.
however, if police have been called you can check with the DA's office to check the status.
some offices have a victims coordination section or you can check with the filling deputy or the person who answers to check on the status.
Charges changed to corporal injury to spouse or cohabitant and bail went up to 100,000. Is this excessive?

IT CAN VARY FROM CITY TO CITY AND JUDGE TO JUDGE... AND THEN THERE IS YOUR RECORD, IF ANY, TO CONSIDER.

Your question doesn’t indicate if you have an attorney? If you can’t afford one, ask the court to appoint one. You need to speak with an attorney who knows all the facts of your case.

more info needed.
unless the judge orders/approves........NO
have your lawyer put the matter back on the calendar for a modification of your sentence. Maybe having your lawyer talk to the deputy DA first to explain your circumstances.
And if so, do I have any legal moves to file a complaint against the judge or D.A. whom have ignored my claim and ruled against obvious evidence?

Every case is unique and more information is needed to properly answer your query intelligently.
In addition, you should NOT be discussing your case on an open forum like this.
However, it is always a good idea to contact a local attorney that handles these types of cases in the... View More

We broke up about a month ago. Since then he's moved and quit his job but I know (although I can't prove it) that he's posting lies about me on social media. He's using my photo and accusing me of embarrassing things. He also painted foul language on my car. He's calling my... View More

I'm also a victim of abuse for about 80%of my life my niece also got sexual with me over texting there were pictures she sent me without my consent

need more info.
not sure what you are asking.
whether you can get a job is not a legal question.
if you are a victim of anything you may want to talk to a PI lawyer. They usually offer a free consultation.
they will probably suggest you talk to the police.
He was on parole and subsequently arrested and placed on probation for DV. The judge ordered the Peaceful Contact at that time. The parole officer did not place the condition due to the conviction.

Yes. The Parole Officer is in charge of the remainder of the sentence and can set conditions.
He was convicted based on his prior convictions, and false statements in the report he was sentenced to eight years

there has to be evidence to convict.
what may have happened was that he was on probation and violated the probation and was sentenced because of that.
I have had a warrant for over a month now due to my probation being revoked for supposedly not reporting contact I had with the police.

Abused and raped anything I can do

Call the police. Depending on who abused and raped you, you might also have a civil lawsuit. Talk to a PI attorney after you talk to the police.
Me and my girlfriend got into a fight. The cops were called and statements were taken from both of us. I was not aware I could deny the police taking pictures of me. There were marks and I didn’t know I could say it was verbal between friends so neither of us would go to jail. That’s what she... View More
