If they were never served at all then they had no notice of the restrictions. If they have a prior EPO or DVO that has restrictions in place and they violated a warrant can be issued for their arrest based on a new criminal charge of violating an EPO/DVO. An EPO or DVO by itself is a civil case but... View More

He needs to hire a good lawyer to appear with him. Prosecution is up to the Commonwealth but He may be able to work something out and resolve it at court!!

You can file a complaint for harassment at your local county attorneys office in the county in which you reside.
He has a clean record, but strangulation was after he threw a glass and was bloody,, CA says found probable cause, and going to jury, can he bond out onto hip, and do i have to appear for jury? Sense I'm not pressing charges?
answered on Jul 23, 2022
Most domestic violence offenders are not released to HIP. Bond will be up to the judge. The Commonwealth is prosecuting the case so most decisions will be made by the Commonwealth Attorney.
The attorney office said to go to the court date of his hearing and tell the judge, my question is if the judge will drop the epo will my husband still be charged with assault and arrested?
answered on Jul 19, 2022
Yes. The epo is a civil proceeding whereas the assault snd battery charges are criminal. Dismissal of the epo will not have any bearing on the resolution of the criminal charges.
answered on Jul 14, 2022
None for the Petitioner. The dvo is only against Respondent.
I had a fight with my husband over a year ago and it got heated and I threatened with child protective services to file an emergency protective order against my husband.

You will have to go back to court and ask the judge to modify the order of protection.
My wife’s father has called and threatened me physically. He has now done this for the second time now. Both my wife and my names are on the mortgage.
answered on Jun 20, 2022
If you are not feeling safe and he is threatening you, then you must prosecute the father as fully as possible. Get a restraining order if you need to. If she does not allow you to feel safe or threatens you, you need a divorce. This is no longer a healthy relationship; you are no longer... View More

Most likely not on the same facts but she can on new facts if they become available.
answered on Apr 13, 2022
Usually it cannot be expunged but to have any hope at all, you would indeed need a lawyer.
answered on Mar 21, 2022
Heard on the merits means decided on the actual facts of the case rather than on a default bc you did not appear.
answered on Mar 3, 2022
The only person that is under a court restriction in an EPO case is the respondent. You can use these attempts to contact you at a hearing but you should not contact her back under any circumstances. If you hire an attorney they can contact her.
No contact order
answered on Mar 3, 2022
If you are the petitioner and you are being contacted by the respondent and you can prove the contact you need to go to the county attorneys office or call the police. If there is an active EPO and a person is contacting you that is a new misdemeanor charge of violating an EPO.
