    Default Modification of a Restraining Order Based on Alleged Threats

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Tennessee

    I'll start last year. My gf and I had a bad break up and she filed a no contact order on me. A month later she put it to a social contact order and we started re connecting. In January we signed a lease together and moved in. Last Sunday we had another big fight and she left. Tuesday she told me that she had modified the order to make it a no contact again on the grounds that I was threatening her life. Tuesday night she came over and we talked civilly the same happened wensday night. I took pictures and video of us getting along and showing that I wasnt holding her aganist her will. My question is will the courts see this the same way I do? If she is feeling so threatened by me, then why would she be coming over and acting like everything is fine. Should I hire a lawyer or will I be ok to just show the evidence I do have and get the order dismissed.

    Nope, they will see it as evidence of you violating the protective order.

    Get a lawyer. Tell no one about the incriminating evidence. DO NOT, under any circumstances, do anything that might be construed as a violation of the order.

    I haven't been served with the motion to make it a no contact yet so it's still a social order and we are both on the lease. Also I should of mentioned that she has been arrested twice once in September and once in December for domestic violence. I can't afford a lawyer since i have all the bills to deal with now so I will be defending myself. Suggestions?

    Those domestic violence charges is where she attacked me. Yes I was stupid enough to drop charges on her.
