Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Protective Order Defense
Our protective order defense lawyer frequently receive these questions:
Can a protective order be dropped or dismissed before the hearing?
No. Even if the petitioner wants to dismiss the case, it must be done in court at the scheduled hearing. Protective orders are court-issued and cannot be withdrawn informally or by agreement outside of court. This distinction is critical for the respondents who believe the case is “over” if the petitioner changes their mind. And even a petitioner who decides to drop the case has the right to change their mind at the hearing and proceed to try to obtain a protective order.
Will a protective order affect my custody rights and/or access to my child(ren)?
It can. We make every effort to dismiss the petitioner for protective order against you. However, we also attempt to preserve your custody and access rights even if the court decides to enter a protective order against you.
Should I be represented by a protective order defense lawyer at my protective order hearing?
Absolutely! The stakes are high, and the rules of evidence apply. We ensure that the court hears your side.
Can I contact the Petitioner if they contact me first, or if they send a message that it is ok to contact them?
In the vast majority of cases the answer is “Not at all.” However, in certain cases, the language of the Order may prohibit “abusive contact,” “threatening contact,” and/or “harassing contact,” or the Order may allow communications regarding the minor children. However, if you have a protective order hearing coming up in a few days, we highly recommend against any communication with the petitioner, regardless of the language of the protective order served on you. Our Protective Order Defense Lawyer can review and advise you on the terms of the Order and best practices.
Keep in mind that violating the order—even unintentionally—can result in arrest and/or criminal charges. By contacting the Petitioner, especially verbal communication instead of written communications, you will leave yourself wide open to allegations of making threats or discussing matters outside of the scope of the minor children. These allegations will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to defend because there are no “hard” evidence and it boils down to who the judge believes.
