Hi, I have a question regarding anti harassment restraining orders in Washington State. My boyfriend's mom petitioned for a restraining order based off lies and told the court that I'm dangerous and she doesn't know what I'll do when that isn't the case at all. She assaulted me during a confrontation and because I threatened to call the cops you takes it to court
