The best way to win in a domestic violence restraining order case is to provide strong evidence that the petitioner is not being truthful. In these types of cases, the courts tend to side with the supposed victim of domestic violence, especially if other family members are in danger.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
A Protection From Intimidation Order (PFI) is an Order entered by the Court which tells the adult offender to have no contact with his/her minor victim or face serious legal conse- quences. It offers a civil remedy to both fe- male and male victims.
