I have a friend that broke up with his fiance. She filed a false injunction on him and then went back to him. She told him it was all dropped and they moved before there court date. He got three charges against him 1 for hitting the guy she was cheating on 2 for not going to court and 3 for not going to the injunction hearing. His mother was dying and had to leave state to see her so he could'nt make 2 court dates. Now he has a court date for being with her because they want to work things out and have a family. What will happen to him in this?
Did you live somewhere else in the two hours between your posts?
In my estimation, he needs to retain a lawyer (or have one appointed to represent him) to help himself avoid spending time in jail.
Lived in florida were the injunction was filed got back with fiance and moved to NY and yes he knows he needs a lawer Just wanted to know if anyone has been through something of the same nature
