I am not sure of your exact question, but if a protective order has been issued your brother must stay away or risk going to prison. He needs to talk with a criminal defense attorney and a divorce attorney. Good luck.

File a motion asking for the arresting officer’s report. But don’t expect it to describe your encounter quite the same way you recall it.
Personally, I’d ask for the bodycam video.

There was an issue at my childs school and my child keeps telling me that these teachers and principles kept asking her questions over and over about what goes on at home. To where she got overwhelmed at the questions being asked.
answered on Sep 13, 2023
Yes, you can legally ask the school to refrain from asking your child personal questions about what goes on outside of school. Legally, however, school employees are not obligated to honor your request.
It was 8:00 pm. Officer gave me a written warning. All my tail lights are totally fine and are working.

The problem may be intermittent. Since you just got a warning and not a citation, legally there is nothing further for you to do. Just monitor the situation and, if it happens again, take your car to a mechanic.

We are joint owners of the car no "and/or" on the title. Just has her name and my name. She has had a gps tracker put on it, and whenever she thinks I am somewhere I shouldn't be, she will have the car towed. What can I do, if anything.
Thanks in andvance
answered on Aug 19, 2023
You can file a suit for partition by sale. You can then use your share of any proceeds to buy a different car and not put her name on it.
We are still making payments on it, if that matters.
