Your current state is Virginia
I have a dvro that protects me and my children from their father. It states no contact directly or indirectly. He had his mother text me to ask if he could send the kids a video of him. And that he doesn’t want to violate the order but would like to send the video if I will allow it.
IF IT SAYS DIRECT OR INDIRECT, THIS WOULD BE A VIOLATION.............
HOWEVER, DO YOU NOT WANT HIM TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR KIDS?
I AM SURE YOU WANT TO DO WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE KIDS WHILE FOLLOWING THE LAW......
The original court agreement required his son to supervise first third and fifth weekend of the month when my son turned three. His son agreed, however that has yet to happen and my son is now 6. They have maybe seen him 15 12 to 15 times in a period of 3 years now. So my son cries on the few times... Read more »
You can't control his behavior but you can ask your Family Law attorney if anything can be done to modify the custody arrangement.
I panicked when writing police report and when talking to detective. Now I have to testify on friday and want to know if I will get into any legal trouble if I tell the truth which is diff then the report
Depends...police reports are not evidence, but if what happened is markedly different from what you reported, you could be charged with making a false report. It is, however, not uncommon that witness or victim testimony differs from what was in the report. Expect the prosecutor to try to reconcile... Read more »
He said he wanted to continue it and then asked the judge if he could order us all to go to counseling? I wouldn't have a problem with it at all but the TPO would still stay and I wouldn't get to go to work & coach my girls? I work 4 my dad for 31 yrs! I feel like this was done to get... Read more »
You need to speak to an attorney to get specific advice about a case in progress. This forum is best for general questions.
She is 16, I am 17, and my grandma has already talked to the social worker and said that would work, but her parents just now decided they would go through with it and I dont know if they will hold onto that. So if they do then how long would it take before my girlfriend lives with my grandma? If... Read more »
No.
I still have not seen or spoke to my little girl in over a year. Courts still did not see or hear any of my evidence to protect my child from her father and his son, mother, daughter who all abused my child.
My husband now has my little girl brainwashed... forcing her to lie about me to... Read more »
I do not think you asked a question in your post and also, you have an attorney. You need to ask your questions to your attorney.
I have been calling to get advice and to get representation from a lawyer and no one is available with this short of time? I work with my dad coaching gymnastics and haven't been able to coach my kids since the 3rd of May? My Team parents have been calling and texting as well as the kids and I... Read more »
This has probably passed since it’s the date in question, but you could seek a continuance. Consult with an attorney who can help you with the case going forward.
I wasnt in court so I dont know what happened. I was never served. I texted her and I hear she filed for a violation of the order against me. What do I do? This isnt fair if its true.
Hire an attorney. He can look at the file, then file a Response and request a Hearing. By yourself you will be arrested and will not be able to effectively represent yourself.
Can I still go to the police station and press charges?..He got a domestic and arrested last July from hitting me but it was dismissed.I didn't go to court to testify against him.
Absolutely you can. But if you are unwilling to testify again, the same result might happen.
I think you may be asking, "How do you drop domestic violence charges against someone?" The way criminal charges work is that the alleged victim does not have the legal authority to drop criminal charges against anyone (or to bring criminal charges against anyone). Instead, charges are... Read more »
We went to 2 court dates at beginning of covid and never got any notification of any other date he was arrested 2 weeks ago fta on this matter but state kept the charges i never wanted to press charges
Go to the District Attorneys Office and fill out a drop charge form and hire a criminal defense lawyer for him.
A crime should be reported as soon as possible to preserve the evidence.

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. What county is your case in? You may have to ask for a continuance. I’m happy to discuss the situation with you and see if we can assist at the hearing on Monday.
Parents home in early March saying it would be for a couple of days - he has not left. He and I don’t get along and he pushed me the day he moved in. Can I get an emergency restraining order to have him leave so I can bring my father home? We live in Merced - California.
I'm sorry to hear about your father. It's good you are able to see to his care. If you contact the County Superior Court, they will be able to direct you regarding the process for application of a restraining order. Seeking local counsel can provide you with the support and guidance... Read more »
more info will be needed
obviously, you need to get a lawyer either private or by requesting the court appoint the public defender at the arraignment.
write out all the facts and have any wits do the same so the lawyer can evaluate the case and determine if it was self defense or... Read more »

Being accused of a domestic violence is not a condition that allows you to break a lease without being responsible for paying future rent obligations under the lease agreement. If you break the lease, you will be responsible for your obligations under the rental agreement. You would probably be... Read more »
I am the victim, I never asked for the criminal one and I dont want the original one
courts really look at the victim as the State of California.........what you want is often not important to the DA/Court.
consult with his underlying lawyer for guidance.
