I was recently served with an epo and made to leave the only address I’ve had since moving here 3 years ago.

You can’t amend the epo prior to the hearing. Go on your hearing date and explain the logistics to the judge. She can set all the arrangements and see that you have some place to reside.
What does this mean exactly? Can I as the victim get in trouble for not showing up to a court date? I just put in a motion for a violation. What happens if I do not go?

It means a person who brings a dv claim cannot be held in contempt for later failing to appear in court and prosecute that claim.
If you were arrested in 2020 and signed an plea to be release, if possible can the charges be dismissed

No. Whether to prosecute or dismiss the charges is solely up to the prosecutor.
It was verbal threats only, and smashing an Apple Watch.

That still can be domestic violence. Usually, the court will consider the petitioners request.
What can I do to get this dismissed? She states it's because I have key to our apartment (no guns or really anything inside, my stuff was emptied out of it).
