Usually it cannot be expunged but to have any hope at all, you would indeed need a lawyer.

Take an epo against him and ask the court to grant a three year dvo.
answered on Mar 21, 2022
Heard on the merits means decided on the actual facts of the case rather than on a default bc you did not appear.

The only person that is under a court restriction in an EPO case is the respondent. You can use these attempts to contact you at a hearing but you should not contact her back under any circumstances. If you hire an attorney they can contact her.
No contact order
answered on Mar 3, 2022
If you are the petitioner and you are being contacted by the respondent and you can prove the contact you need to go to the county attorneys office or call the police. If there is an active EPO and a person is contacting you that is a new misdemeanor charge of violating an EPO.
I have a 3 year protection order on my ex. He violated it and was arrested. He has a court date coming up this week for violating it. Do I have to appear in court too?
My daughter called for help as the victim in a domestic violence situation and the responding officers ignored her statements and arrested her for DUI for sitting in a parked vehicle with engine running that "smelled strongly" of marijuana on their arrival

You need to first get her exonerated of the dui and thereafter file a civil rights lawsuit against the officers and their department.

If it was an EPO that never went to a DVO it would be eligible for expungement if it was dismissed. If it became a DVO after a hearing it would not be eligible for expungement unless you go back and petition the court to set aside that finding.
To press charges. I actually told them I didn’t want him to go to jail. Is there anything I can do? He was let out on bond the same night, and he’s never been in trouble his entire life until now. What can I do or what can happen?

You are entitled to a hearing in front of the court where the court decides if it will be a domestic violence order DVO or it will be dismissed. My guess is if you’ve had it passed three months already there’s likely an agreement in place that it will eventually be dismissed.

Your only remedy is to ask to reconsider or appeal the decision to the Zcourt of Appeals.
Daughter in July of 2021. He has not had contact since, and my daughter has attended therapy and has shown act of ptsd/trauma. She is just under 3. Can I have his rights terminated and/or have her adopted by my now fiancé? Thanks!
answered on Jan 13, 2022
You can certainly take this matter to court and ask for sole custody. Terminating his rights against his wishes will be very difficult and typically not done unless a person goes to prison or they are extremely dangerous.
