I went to court today to hopefully get a Domestic Violence Order against my ex, he agerned it till next Thursday so his solicitor can be there with him? does that neccesarily mean he is going to contest to it or would he want to change the conditions? I dont know, has this happened to anyone before? HELP!! Dont we all deserve peice and harmony in our lives? I just want to live a life without fear and this monster. Im scared he is going to contest to it and then he will show messages i sent to him (just swearing at him) against me, but they are nothing compared to what he has done to me.

      I represented myself in my restraining order court proceedings and won. The most important items to have is actual allegations against your ex such as a police report, doctor reports or therapist notes. No hearsays will be used. Not even emails unless it has your full name who sent it. You must prove that he frightens you and that he has caused harm to you. They don’t just go by someone saying I don’t like this man cuz he cheated on me. You have to give full descriptions of the abuse. You have to prove that it has ruin your mental ability to perform at work or provide for your children if you have children. If you do have children they will grant the restraining order. I have heard judges don’t just give out restraining orders just for the heck of it. It must be solid evidence. If this restraining order is against him and you filed he has his rights to prove its not true that he’s a violent man. He can bring in witnesses but they must prove their points as well. He just cannot bring in a girlfriend and have her say that he’s the nicest person to be around. It goes for you too you cannot just bring in friends unless they witness the abuse and have photos of the bruises. Thats another item you must have is photos of the abuse. Whatever was written on those emails will not be used unless you threaten his life. You can use the emails as a defense on your part by saying that he sent one to me and I was so distorted that I panic cuz of the fear of what he may had done. You can make a copy of his email and highlight the time it was sent as well as yours to see if who sent who’s first. Just be prepared with all the accusations he will provide.
