Yes. There is nothing wrong with that. Many times a domestic violence intervention worker in some counties will fill out the paperwork for you to sign. Keep in mind that you are signing the document under oath. Make sure the content is correct before signing it.

If you are asking if eye witness testimony can be used in a domestic violence proceeding, the answer would be yes. If there is sufficient evidence of a crime the DA can file criminal charges.

I agree with Keegan. If you know where your opponent works or banks your attorney should be able to issue a garnishment. The attorney would automatically be entitled to additional attorney's fees. If you don't know this information the court can order a hearing on assets.
