Can she just file the paperwork herself after getting the papers looked at by an attorney, or should she try to get representation? She is completely financially dependent on her husband so she doesn’t have much money at her disposal.

First, IMO when you post for your friend, it means that they are not willing to take control of their own situation. This person would probably not be very good at representing herself. Should she get an attorney? Yes, definitely, just as you would get a doctor if you had appendicitis, you... View More

the court does not care that you worked it out though that is positive.
the victim is the People of the State of California so it is the DA that represents them and must be convinced to dismiss or reduce charges.

any time there is an order you would have to make a motion to put the matter on the calendar and hopefully come in with an attorney to argue your position.
you don't want to dismiss the RO and get arrested and then have to argue after the fact.
I didn't mean to call the police. When I talked to the police they never handed me anything besides a paper about " youve experienced domestic violence" that has no information or told me I had to go to court and never handed me a pink slip, idk if that was important. I still talk to... View More

You may not need to go to court unless there is a jury trial. However, finding your own representation can be essential whatever your position in regards to your partners case. In short, you may want to advocate for or against conviction of your partner. This can be accomplished with greater... View More

You should reach out to a lawyer who is a certified specialist in family law in or near Orange County to get the help you need to be reunited with your children. Four years, however, is a long time for you to have waited to do this, so be prepared to explain why, if you have not tried getting your... View More
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

what state, county, court, judge?
but yes it is at the discretion of the judge...and with Covid, everything is up in the air.
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.

Tell the police and they will serve him. That should stop him.
