Your facts will not give you a definitive answer, because the decision is in the discretion of the court. If you have already sought the opinion of an attorney that knows your court then you already have a good answer. This forum is a poor substitute for hiring a lawyer (especially this author).
In KY the abuser took out a protection order on the one in Ohio. What is you can't make it to KY for court. No ride.
answered on Dec 6, 2023
Did the Ohio protection order include the kids? If that is the case you may be able to make out a complaint for kidnapping. If the protection Order is against you in both jurisdictions you still need to appear in KY if there is a pending hearing. Get in touch with a KY lawyer in that case. You... View More

No, TPO is for potential crime prevention. It is not a “crime “.
I was asking if my husband had filed and she said no, then faked typing into her computer

I think you may have asked the question twice. You may wish to speak to a supervisor. Also, you should be able to search the clerk of court's website yourself.

Pro bono is the legal phrase for free service or no charge. Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingent fee agreement. The attorney fee (and often case expenses) are contingent or dependent upon a recovery. In other word, most personal injury lawyers don't work pro bono, but will... View More
My ex posted an indirect threatening tiktok about shooting ur ex and recently posted a tiktok exposing my full name. Is there anything I can do seeing I don’t feel safe for me or my child now

You can file for a temporary protective order stating that you are being threatened and fear for your well being from social media posts. Print them out, head to the courthouse.

If you are properly served with a subpoena you must come to court and testify. Marital and spousal privileges protect communications, not actions.
I'm a victim in a domestic violence case but want the case dropped. I was not served the subpoena but got it in the mail. I've heard from other people that I do not have to appear but I do not want to be in contempt.

Getting it in the mail is service of the Subpoena. You should appear.

Criminal no contact orders last at least until the case is resolved either through plea, trial, or dismissal, and may continue during any period of probation.
This will be my first offense. I have nothing else at all on my record. Not even speeding tickets.

It depends on the judge and prosecutor in your court. Some prosecutors will throw the case out, judge permitting, while others will make you go to trial if need be. You are not in trouble.
My record was also sealed my lawyer had done. Could it not been sent to federal government database? Theres nothing of me in the system my lawyer had clerk of courts run me an theres nothing in the system of me in ohio

Some employers are exempt from the record sealing laws and can see a sealed record. Adult records are never truly destroyed. The basic rule of thumb is that any employer who will put the physical safety of living human beings in your hands is exempt: hospitals, schools, law enforcement, day and... View More
We had our court hearing yesterday and the judge asked explicitly if I have ever threatened her with violence or hit her an she said no multiples times. Will the case be dismissed. We are supposed to get a letter in the mail.
If a person with a broken leg or arm is possibly still a threat and tries to harm me but I defend myself is that considered self-defense or assault?
answered on Aug 10, 2022
You are permitted to use proportionate force to defend yourself. It all comes down to reasonableness. Is it reasonable to shoot a person for slapping you in the face? No. That's not self-defense. Does it matter if your attacker has an injury like you say? Yes, to some extent that will inform... View More

For it to be DV instead of assault, they will have to prove she is a family or household member. Sounds like they won’t be able to do so, which means they will likely amend the charge to assault once they figure that out.
I apologize if this goes to Akron its fighting me to send this to Marysville.

He will have to evict you, if you’ve been living there but he can as you have no lease. If the defendant in your DV case put him up to this, the defendant has almost certainly violated the terms of a court no contact order which generally includes not doing anything to mess with the victim’s...
