I am on probation even after i am 18. and i have a court order from the judge to stay away from him and a restraining order by my parents. the restrain order was granted because i already had the court order otherwise there was no proof he was any harm to me. the restraining order is valid for 3 years. i want to move out with my boyfriend when i am 18. how would i do that if i have a court order and a restaining order?

If you are on probation and the court order states that you are to have no contact with a person, you cannot have contact with that person until your probation is up. If you move in with him in violation of your probation, you are in violation and a Petition to Modify or Revoke will be filed against you. You will then face additional sanctions from the court.

are you talking about a restraining order? Did you parents have one imposed? b/c I believe that it would only be valid in that case when you were a minor; if it was him then he could have it vacated; legal aid may be able to help you b/c you probably don't have the money to hire a lawyer? Sometimes, the clerk at the court can tell you how to go about doing this by you preparing and filing the paperwork.

Basically a lawyer can handle all the paper work and knows the type of papers that need to be filed but I can tell you this...many legal documents and such can be filed by you without the lawyer. the clerk of court can usually tell you which papers to file in such a case. it's well worth checking into and avoid huge attorney fees.
good luck

Hmm, maybe you should get new friends and a new love interest. Don't fall for a facade of kindness especially since there seems to be prior history of something negative. Set yourself up to succeed and dump that loser.
