There are no costs involved in applying for a protection order, unless an attorney is used.Once a protection order is granted, it is valid until the victim withdraws it. If the perpetrator lodges an appeal, the order will continue to operate until it is cancelled by the appeal court.
An order after hearing compiles all of the orders that you've agreed to in mediation, by stipulation or that the judge ordered at the hearing.The judge will receive the stipulation, ask both parties whether they agree to the stipulation as written and then sign it so long as both parties agree.
Consult with a family law attorney experienced in defending people against false restraining orders. You must go to court for the final restraining order hearing and present your evidence proving why the accusations against you are false. The evidence can be police reports, witnesses, text messages and or emails.
Modifications: After the court has granted either the ex parte temporary protective order or long term protective order, if you want to change part of the order, you can file your request with the court. Only the judge has the power to modify the order.It is not valid unless it is written in a court order.
If you believe the protection order was granted improperly or that it is no longer needed, you can file a motion asking the court to dissolve (terminate or cancel) the protection order. After you file the motion, the court will decide whether or not to schedule a hearing.
If you're the person who asked for the no contact order, you can ask the judge in your case to drop it. While there's no guarantee that the judge will do so, if you can show that you're not being forced or coerced into doing it, you'll have a better chance of getting it dropped.
If a No Contact Order has been put in place anywhere in the state of Washington, the first thing we do is call the court and find the soonest date we can request relief in front of a judge. You will need to be present at that court hearing. Before the court date, we file a motion to modify or rescind (lift) the order.
A protection order may be varied, withdrawn or set aside if the complainant makes an application for variation or rescission, but only if the court is satisfied that the application is being made freely and voluntarily.The court may refuse to withdraw if it believes that you or your children require protection.
