Orders of protection are unfortunately common in family law cases and are often used for strategic reasons.

The terminology of the protective orders vary by state (they can be called protection from abuse orders, personal protection orders, domestic abuse injunctions, etc.) but in general they are intended to bring about an end of the abuse toward a person and their minor children.

Question: My question is what court document needs to be filed for a judge to reconsider a PFA (Protection from Abuse)?

 I have two daughters and my wife lied and obtained a PFA. Children and Youth Services did an investigation and found the allegations against me to be false/unfounded.

Question:

My wife and I are in the beginning stages of a divorce. On June 14th, 2009, she took my son more than 200 miles away and then filed a personal protection order stating that I had abused her. I have many witnesses stating that I have never abused her and never would.  I want to see my son again, so how do I get past the personal protection order to do so?

Question:

My ex girlfriend has a case of burglary of habitat.  The police even took pictures of her coming towards me, assaulting me, and physically damaging me.  Later, we tried to work things out, and she even moved back in.  It wasn't long before she called the police on me for taking her car.  When they arrived, they took her to jail for violating a court order to not return to my house, and for violation of a protective order.

We have a 6 month old boy. I have a mortgage to pay, and I have been a retail management for six years now.  Currently, she has not been convicted, but does this history help me with a custody case?
