Can you phrase its for me to present to the judge
Sure, here's a concise statement for the judge:
"Your Honor, I am requesting a restraining order against my husband due to the following reasons:
- He has physically abused me multiple times.
- He has emotionally and verbally abused me.
- He has tried to contact me and my family members despite the temporary restraining order.
- He recently violated the temporary restraining order since being served."
Have you documented these incidents or reported them to the authorities?
I have documented them but not have reported them to authorities
