Have You Been Charged With the Violation of a Protection Order?
Did you run into your estranged spouse or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend at a parent-teacher conference, a coffee shop or a shopping mall? Did that accidental meeting trigger a chain reaction and now you are facing criminal charges for violation of a protection order?
Maybe you called or emailed your child's parent because you needed to change plans regarding visitation. A vindictive ex can use that telephone or computer communication to charge you with violation of the restraining order.
Maybe your ex saw someone who "looked like you" drive by the house, or attributed hang-up phone calls to you. Now it's his/her word against yours. It may be an exaggeration or a complete fabrication, but regardless of how unfair it is, your rights and freedom are now at risk.
