I would just call a junk removal company and have it removed. There is apparently no way for you to find him, so why leave your house at risk?

If it is currently ongoing or recent you may want to call the police.

I would contact your local police chief and / or the county prosecutors office and ask for the background search material and the source[s] giving rise to the concerns voiced about you. The less confrontational you are with them, the more likely they will be to provide the information sought (... View More

Yes you can hire a lawyer. If your case is in family court hire a family lawyer, if your case is in municipal or criminal court I suggest hiring a good criminal lawyer.

It is up to the Judge how much time in anger management you need. Are you represented by counsel? If not you need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney with extensive domestic violence trial experience. If you do not, you are making a very serious mistake.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. You do need a lawyer. I would think someone in the Turkish community would be able to help find a lawyer who speaks the language. Otherwise you can use a translator. Best of luck.

Start off by writing him through email or text, telling him that you feel that he is not honoring the terms of the civil restraining order and that if he violates it again, you will be forced to file a new domestic violence complaint against him and you will use his ongoing violations of the civil...

If I were you, the only way that I would dismiss the protections provided to you under the domestic violence laws would be with the entry of a lengthy, detailed consent order ( not an agreement but a court order under a different docket number), which provided you specific protections, including...

Thank you for your question.

The Court in New Jersey does not "lift a restraining order" for someone to work. This case which appears to be an unpublished opinion by the Appellate Division affirmed the Trial Court Order, which denied removal of the restraining order. Statistically speaking the vast majority of... View More

You will need to file a Cartifagio application. Typically I will tell people that the application is dead on arrival without consent of the plaintiff. However, the default status and the fact that you have a court that determined you were sexually assaulted could be enough to overcome that.... View More

Most likely yes. A TRO stays in effect unless it is dismissed or amended to an FRO.

The filing of a criminal complaint against you for assault (simple or aggravated) in NJ can also result in the filing of a domestic violence complaint against you for assault ( simple or aggravated)

Yes you can still report the act of domestic violence even a week later

More information is required. Depends on if it was domestic violence related, aggravated assault or simple assault charged as a indictable offense. Your record also factors. Yes you could face jail and max fine for aggravated assault is $15K. Be wise and retain an attorney.

This is a case where you need to sit down with an experienced family law attorney to review each of the allegations advanced against you in your ex's domestic violence complaint to determine what proofs are needed to respond to the claims / testimony needed and how best to present that...

If your question is whether a person can be charged with domestic violence and have a TRO entered against them, go before a superior court judge on the charges and have the court dismiss the charges - the answer is yes. A judge can take testimony from the parties and determine that the allegations... View More

Thank you for posting this question. Marital financial abuse is a very serious issue, but the Courts do provide methods by which it can be addressed. While the Court cannot compel marital counseling, it can certainly grant a Judgment of Divorce that respects and acknowledges your rights (and your... View More

It lasts until either the court issues a final order or dismisses the case. Thus you will have to wait until your day in court. I suggest she hires a lawyer to give her the best chance of a dismissal.
