You don’t indicate what your some is charged with or if he is represented. He needs an attorney if he doesn’t have one. He should talk to his attorney about this if he is represented.

There is a form you can fill out to request an extension. I don’t know if he was charged and convicted for violating the OFP, but that alone would be enough to get the OFP extended.

Is it possible to file a motion to cancel the DANCO? Yes. Is it likely to be granted? No. This is the second domestic in the last two years and the most recent domestic assault occurred about a week ago. I do not believe that the Court is going to grant your request to cancel the DANCO under... View More

Person A would likely be charged with 2nd Degree Assault, which is a felony. Person B doesn't "press" charges. The allegations get reported to law enforcement, law enforcement investigates, and the county attorney makes a charging decision.

The fact that the HRO was dismissed has zero effect on the validity of the warrant for violating the HRO.

The short answer is no. I’m not sure which attorneys told you that you shouldn’t hire a lawyer for the OFP hearing, but that wasn’t good advice. There is no way to unring the bell and have the judge ignore that a different judge made a finding that there was domestic abuse.

The request for a Harassment Restraining Order is pretty straightforward. You would simply need to submit one in the county where the facility is located.

You can certainly send something in writing. A copy would need to go to the prosecutor and the defense attorney. In that letter you would simply ask for the DANCO to be cancelled and explain why you are asking for that to occur.

You should contact the court directly to request that the DANCO be cancelled. The judge is the ultimate authority of whether the DANCO remains in the place. You could also have the counselor write a letter in support of having the DANCO cancelled.

You can't "press charges." You can report the matter to law enforcement. They will make the decision if charges are appropriate.

Yes, they can force you to testify via a subpoena. A warrant can be issued if you do not show up to testify. It is impossible for anyone on here to answer intelligently whether the case would be dropped if you fail to show or don't testify. The prosecutor makes that decision and the... View More

Typically a subpoena needs to be served on your personally or to another adult residing at your home.

You can attempt to plead the fifth. But ultimately, you will likely be given immunity which means that you no longer have a fifth amendment right to remain silent. As a result, you could be held in contempt if you refuse to testify. Being held in contempt would likely mean that you would be held... View More

You can't certainly contact either law enforcement or the prosecutor to address this issue. In all likelihood, your initial statement to law enforcement was audio recorded, and perhaps video taped as well via a body cam. So there should be an accurate recording of your statement. You... View More

It is your obligation to leave immediately if you see the protected party whether you expect to see her or not. It sounds like you attempted to do that. Get an attorney on board immediately to fight this.

Call a criminal defense attorney directly. An attorney might be able specifically address your situation.

You should report any criminal activity to police. For a civil lawsuit, you should consult directly with a personal injury attorney.

You don’t provide enough information. Who is the protected party? What does the DANCO order?

Police investigate crime. Jail staff serve a different function

This question isn’t very clear. I’d suggesting calling someone on Monday about this issue. Or follow up with a more specific question.
