I have a hearing today... So im watching this just to prepare thanks!

Thank you this helped me prepare for my hearing tomorrow. I had no idea what to expect.

I have one tomorrow and this helped A lot! Thank you!

It gives comfort for my hearing today it's my first and hope last

My best advice to anyone seeking a protection order to definitely have an attorney. Do all you can to find one pro Bono. Despite that document, document, document! Meaning texts, record phone calls, photos of violent incidents even if police weren’t called. If the abuser has an attorney be prepared to be cross examined. You will have to testify about all that’s happened and remain composure. Lastly depending upon the court and when the court order is given... MAKE SURE THE ABUSER IS PROPERLY SERVED! Even if he did attend the hearing, technically there needs to be “due diligence”. Essentially without being served it’s a useless piece of paper and a waste of time, emotional pain, and money. Always remember as well it is only a piece of paper.

Being falsely accused in an order rn and have proof that the story was fabricated. So I don’t have to act like this dude and I’m fine :) UPDATE: we won the case!!!

Even if she did hit on this supposed man, what does that have to do with him supposedly choking her out? Doesn't matter if someone is cheating, you cannot put your hands on them. Called being an adult

My old nail tech has filed a 14 day order of protection against my girlfriend & I and lied about everything it’s sad that this is how the law works. You can be severed for a false story my court date is May 2nd and I don’t know what to expect so I came across this video.

This isn’t real people, it’s a mock trial

Wow! Thank you for sharing! This was helpful

I have my retraining order court hearing on Wednesday this week. Any advice on how I can win my caee and why the proceeding is expected to be about 4 hours long? That is what the clerk told me.

very helpful...

I have mine tmr , wish me luck🙌🏾

This was definitely made to make you get a lawyer.

Have it next week I have so much proof

The fact that he’s so focused on if the female was drinking or not to try to justify his actions?? Disgusting

Just went to my court hearing. It was in my favor. Doesnt quite look like this during the pandemic. Courts are utilizing webex technology so I was able to just do it from home on my computer. I was able to email all evidence such as pictures and camera footage to the court. Super easy! Btw defendant did not show up. Order if protection is for one year.

Was this real or was it mock for educational purposes? Either way it was very helpful. Thank you

hilarious he lost the house, kids and his money in less than 30 minutes. 😂😂😂😭

I got one that expires next month hoping to extend it going to court tomorrow

My sons father put one against me towards my son and himself after dropping my son off with him for the summer. He’s trying to use the courts to keep me away when I have all legal decision making for my child. I have a hearing this morning and my stomach is like 🥴🤢 I haven’t been able to speak with my son he’s blocked all sorts of communication. Please pray for me guys! I promise I am overall a very good person to the community and to my family. I hope it shows today!

Women abuse these orders all the time

Is this a sample trial or the real thing?

Wow what a fantastic cross examination

“Isn’t it true” 🤣 He fancies himself a lawyer 🤣🤣🤣

There is no possible way to even have a peek a the truth in such a short hearing with no lawyers present.

If as the Respondant this is the amount of effort you are willing to put into your defense then expect the same result as what we see here

I had a hearing for a civil restraining order case.... We want a restraining order against a former friend who shows up to our property without any notice, he cuts the lock off our gate to get in and then doesnt replace it or compensate us.-(He has done this several times!) He yells & likes to throw things at my boyfriend when being told to leave or if he doesnt get his way about something. He throws tantrums, which our neighbors most likely hear... Plus he has stolen from us SEVERAL times! My boyfriend was with me & he also testified... *THE JUDGE DENIED THE RESTRAINING ORDER!!!!!* I dont see why she would deny it! ...We explained his unnacceptable violent behavior and about how hes VERY unpredictable..........WHY would she DENY it??? WTF?! ......Is there anything I can do to appeal this?! I started this whole process like 2 months ago! It pisses me off that the judge denied it...I feel like I wasted my time with this! /: If anyone has any advice Id really appreciate it! I want to appeal this...I dont know....We NEED a restraining order against this guy!!! Or else he will keep showing up!! We dont want him at our property and we dont want to have to be walking on eggshells all the time or to wonder if something has been stolen again! Please help!

What if you are afraid to present certain evidence in front of the abuser to judge . Knowing that the restraining order will be granted. It was mentioned abuser wouldn’t care if I had a restraining order they will get to me before the cops show up if I show proof or evidence. I fear for my life after restraining order is granted .What can I do?

Wait… so in South Carolina they do not issue the “victim”an order of protection Ex parte?

I have one tomorrow but its my wife that assaulted me. Sketchy thing is though, she's at rehab and going to call in over zoom.

Wow

I'm in the same situation and my ex wife is saying I threatened to shoot her and my kids which is complete bs. Any advise ?

GOOD 😌 THE JUDGE 👩‍⚖️ APPROVED THE ORDEN AND TO THE KIDS 🥰💓💕♥️🤍 I WISH IM LUCKY AS WELL 🥺🥺

Is this fake? How come there are no police officers present to protect her in case he lunges at her? And she even walks over to him. Fake?

This isn’t a real trial is it? It seems like a skit for an example or something.

I had a order of protection put on me last year didn’t go to court I’m surprised they didn’t come looking for me 😬

the judge is not given

Isn’t it true is leading.

Ha, in pr it is automatic, she just needs to ask

Update : I won. His case got dismissed and I have been advised to go to small claims court. I have one in 3 days. It’s my first and hopefully my last. I’m actually moving away from my apartment to purposely avoid this toxic neighbor who owes me money, but pulled a gun on me when I came to ask for my money back. Then he goes to the court for a protection order of harassment, said that I threatened his life with my egg in hand. Please wish me luck as an African man in America I do not want any trouble with anyone.

Good advice I have a temporary protection order in place against my now ex husband and I go to court to get a permanent one on june 21st I hope I get it because this temporary one is not stopping him from coming near me and my daughter and contacting us and I have all the proof of abuse done by him all the screenshots of threats from him and his family and being harassed by his attorney that he's having a secret relationship with I have proof of her telling me that is the reason she's lying for him she knows what he's done but is just covering for him and I also filed my medical records from when he raped me and I ended pregnant which ended with him kicking me in the stomach multiple times causing me to misscarry and ended in the hospital and ect (so much to write that happened) He's showing up for his supervised visitation on Saturday which is suspended due to the protection order in place against him but I'ma get a Sheriff to meet me to get him served even tho he's aware of the order and has violated it once already and is in violation for it and might be getting locked up for it on Saturday

My mom filed one against me 🙃

This is terrible. They should not make a victim face off with a perp in court. It should be separate.

I am baffled: He got ejected for 6 months for physical battery. I got ejected for 1.5 years because I blocked my mother in laws phone number because she called it everyday for 20 years.

That was embarrassing for both of them. How do you not know to stand up? He actually asked, do I have to stand up. 🤦🏼‍♂️ You got the custody of your kids riding on this and you have two fucking questions? You might as well stay at home. LOL

I have court tomorrow

The best advice I can offer, never represent yourself.

He should’ve have hired an attorney

is this staged? looks like they're reading a script. they're not supposed to talk to each other either. sounds like they're acting.

am i the only one watching this wondering if its fake or not?

There are people on this planet snitching on way bigger things if Snowden is still relaxing and interviewing. This is nonsense protection is already granted.

Very first observation. She is disrespectful to the court and the judge. The implication is she is passive aggressively challenging the judge for control of the court room. The judge corrects this by informing her she needs to stand. If this were in error, an absent minded person wouldve leapt up and said sorry. She very slowly gets up. That implies that she’s being defiant and once again trying to say, “Ok, I’ll get up. But only bc I decided to.”

Is this for real? Wow

If you're a guy and need a reatraining order against a crazy woman don't bother. Courts will not take it seriously and if a lawyer takes your case they will just waste your time and money.

steele??? dude thats MY last name 😂😂

Wow that judge is reticules.Their was barely any evidence.Pay the woman every time.

Mudsharking will always end you up here

I bet incels look like ROCKSTARS now, eh?! Its not by accident incase you're wondering!

This is super scripted. Doesn't even come across as natural AT ALL.

It had to be a black man and a white girl 🤣

this is so scripted, and not how it goes at all

Way to obviously scripted

Dude is so cringe. "Isn't it true...." Thats the only legalese he knows, lol. Then when the other side fails to validate the point he was attempting to make, he just falls silent. He doesn't even say "No further questions your honor." And you should NEVER bring up a possible motive for your alleged crime, like jealousy over cheating, especially if the petitioner didn't specifically mention it. The judge is only going to see that you are passionate about that issue and make the likely assumption that this was indeed your motive for retaliating with violence.

I dont need attorney to do so deanna souders rensslaer in
