    Default Double Restraining Orders

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Virginia

    Here is the situation--
    on 4/30/2008, I filed a temporary restraining order against my ex husband due to threats of violence against myself and my fiancee at the time.
    I was scheduled for a hearing for a permanent one on 5/9/08

    On 5/1(after he was served) - my ex husband in turn filed an order against my fiance.. which is called a temporary peace order.

    His final hearing was before my own, so he was able to get a final order for six months against my fiancee.
    ( he was never served so it has to be retried) it was listed on the website as being vacated-- but will be retried on 5/27 )

    On 5/9 I was granted a two year protective order for no contact other than to speak with his son.

    My question is as follows--
    My order states no family abuse- and family abuse is defined as to also include my fiancee due to he is also a hh resident .


    Does my restraining order mean anything? There was an altercation and i filed charges- however he in turn filed charges against my fiance for violation of his order....when he violatied his own!!!
    Im just wondering if the judge would see this is nothing but a tit for tat issue.

    Many judges hate restraining orders for precisely this reason. But really, no one here can predict what the judge in this case will say.

    Have your fiance take an attorney with him. It goes a long way towards getting out of court in 5 minutes with an outcome favorable to you.
