Protection Order Miscommunication Resolution

Summary

To resolve miscommunication about a protection order, contact the issuing court to verify its status and obtain documentation. If the order was believed to be dropped, gather evidence and file a formal complaint with the court. Communicate with both the court and local authorities to clarify the situation. Legal aid services, such as Indiana Legal Services, can provide assistance. If your fiancé was arrested in Illinois for a case in Indiana, he may be transferred to face charges. Miscommunication alone may not lead to immediate release, but presenting evidence and seeking legal guidance can help. If the judge is not convinced, continue to collect evidence and consult legal aid for support.
