Protection Order Violation Options

Summary

If your partner is in jail for violating a protection order, consult a criminal defense attorney to understand your options. You may attend the court hearing to stay informed and possibly speak on the record. When speaking in court, mention your safety, stable relationship, commitment to staying off narcotics, and intent to marry and support him. Avoid blaming authorities or downplaying the seriousness of the violation. Clearly state your desire for the protection order to be dropped. Be factual about the violation and your efforts to drop the order since 2023, emphasizing that the charges are related to unrelated matters. Consider connecting with local lawyers for more specific guidance.
