He can’t take your daughter, especially with a DVOpending. You need to stand up to him once and for all. Start by hiring a lawyer to go to the hearing with you. Then, seriously consider filing fir divorce and custody.
Me and my girlfriend have a history of domestic violence. The domestic violence order has expired. My conditions of parole do not apply to her. Can we live together?
The history of domestic violence in snd of itself is sufficient for PO to deny it. It doesn’t matter if the DVO has expired nor does it matter that no contact was not a condition of your parole. It is strictly s subjective judgment call by your PO.
Police have been called twice on my husband for him being physical with me. Each time I stated I did not want to press charges or file for an EPO.

If the judge granted Joint custody with the assault charges pending, there is not likely anything that can be done. If the assault charges occurred after the grant of joint custody, you could move to modify to sole custody if you can show that he presents a danger to the child.
What kind of trouble would I get into if she left without
the moms permission? She’s scared to be there with her and she can’t go to any family member without them telling her mom
You could draw any number of charges if you interfere. Don’t interfere. Instead, report the abuse to CPS and let them handle it.
My daughters father has been abusing his girlfriend in front of our daughter. I got called to come remove my daughter from the home when he got arrested for domestic violence and bring her to Kentucky to live with me. My daughter is scared to have a visit with her father for fear of the abuse she... Read more »
You have to balance your fears with the court order. If she’s really at risk, you can decide to withhold visitation. If the court determines it’s a ploy to deprive visitation, it’s contempt.
Yes.
My ex kicked in my door which resulted in a minor injury but I do not want to go to court he has threatened to kill me. He was caught at the scene of the crime. Can he still be convicted without my testimony?
Not unless there are independent witnesses to the event.
No. It is now up to the Commonwealth.
I am asking for a friend. They were granted a DVO from their abusive boyfriend back in May. The boyfriend will not stop retaliating and now his lawyer is trying to have my friend's DVO overturned because the judge was not reelected in the past election. I was wondering if this would be applicable.
They can be overturned but it doesn’t happen frequently.
I’ve ran away several times from here. I always get brought back... I’m tired of living this way and my mother wants to get a good lawyer to make sure I can go with her!? She can pass a drug test my grandparents cannot.
She files a motion for return of custody in the same court that awarded custody to your grandparents.

He can’t break the dvo. Only you can. You talking to him through a third party is breaking the dvo.
My case has been dissmised, and I was never directly told I couldn't own guns but wanted to see if I could make future purchases without getting into legal troubles
If it was amended then it wasn’t dismissed and if it isn’t dismissed, you can’t have your ccdw bc of the SB conviction.
My fiancé was a DV victim for 15 years and after an argument where he was in top of me and I scratched his neck while getting him off of me, he left and went and filed an epo. At our hearing he chose to not drop the order. After court he realized that he had no business doing that and immediately... Read more »
No grounds for dismissal. Clear violation of court order.

You should file a motion to limit or suspend his visitation and let the court rule. You cannot unilaterally withhold parenting time but if you submit your proof to the Court, then you will be covered.
A case in which a DVO hearing was held and a DVO was issued, then dismissed at the request of the petitioner was not in effect for one month.
Yes, if dismissed, can be expunged.
Knows it's not true and this is not my husband first time. He's done this before to other women. And I am currently pregnant with our child. So what is the chance of getting the epo on me overturned to a dvo on him.
None unless you take your own epo against him. The court cannot convert his epo against You to a dvo against him.
