Avoid Restraining Order Tips

Summary

When facing a restraining order for sending a rash text, write a formal letter to the court acknowledging the incident, expressing remorse, and explaining the context. If appearing in court for a second time, highlight any additional corrective actions taken, such as counseling or community service, and demonstrate compliance with previous court orders. Offering to attend anger management classes can show proactive steps towards resolution. When discussing sensitive issues, like concerns for family safety, acknowledge the courts role in handling such matters and express regret for any unintended harm.
