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.

if you are a victim of anything you may want to talk to a PI lawyer. They usually offer a free consultation.

you are not asking this on a landlord tenant forum

clearly if you can't afford a private lawyer you should go to legal aid for civil issues and if you are arrest on a DV you need to ask for a public defender when you go to court.
