The DA will summon or serve you with a subpoena when and if there is a trial. They will also send an investigator before that to question you about what happened if it goes to trial. So the DA will do what they have to do when the time arrives.
what other info. can I provide you with, so you can better understand my case? I want to help him but at the same time I do not want to incriminate myself because I didn't do anything wrong. I did write a letter but I am hesitant about sending it because I don't want to have any problems... View More

My question is, since they (the children) do not have a relationship with their fathers maternal grandparents, would it be violating the restraining order to contact them?
answered on Feb 7, 2018
a lawyer would have to see the wording on the RO........however if it is just dealing with your ex it should not apply to grandparents
answered on Feb 5, 2018
the RO is for him to stay away from her......however if she is the party taking the initiative to set up meeting i do not think there would be much of an issue.............
i would assume jail or prison does not know about RO anyway
