There is no form or petition for this. A DANCO can only be lifted by a judge.
If you wish to have the DANCO lifted or modified, I would start by reaching out to the victim's advocate assigned to the defendant's case. In almost all domestic violence cases, there is a... Read more »

answered on May 25, 2023
There is no form for this. You can certainly submit a letter to the Court asking for the DANCO to be modified or cancelled. The decision of whether that occurs is ultimately up to the judge who is assigned to handle the case. It is unlikely that the DANCO will be modified or cancelled if the... Read more »

The protection order is against the respondent, not the petitioner. Thus, the petitioner would not be charged even if they initiated contact to the respondent. The respondent could be charged with a violation of protection order for responding. When determining whether to file the violation of... Read more »

From your question one cannot tell if the person with whom you disagree is actually an officer of the court. It looks like it might be a deputy clerk of courts, which is a little different. I recommend finding out from the clerk of court's website whether the information you are seeking is... Read more »

Assuming you are clothed during these videos and are not otherwise involved in illegal activities, they are legal. Your mother is within her rights to record a conversation between the two of you.

If there is domestic violence and an ongoing threat, you should seek a protective order, which is a separate case altogether. If you were served with paperwork for a pending case, and... Read more »

Yes, get rid of the boyfriend! Search online for a support group for abused women in your area and see what they can do to help you. Perhaps what he's said is sufficient for filing for a Protection from Abuse Order. You may also want to take the messages to the police and see if there's... Read more »
