I just asked this question but I guess I didnt give enough detail....
Okay, my now exboyfriend brought home a 16 year old, mind you he is 24.. I got a little upset, he wanted to discuss our relationship problems infront of everyone. I thought that was barbaric
/.. anyways, I got a little upset and raised my voice, he called the cops on me and had me removed. the next day he went to the courts and asked for an order of protection. I have never harmed him before mind you and anyways a few days later I was served.. I want to appeal (I DO NOt want him back, I just dont want this on my permanent record)(the only thing I have done to him was threaten to kick his a@@.. She can keep him.
I get so nervous, and my heart starts pounding..
I want to appeal but not sure how, please help

If you were given a court date. you will state your case to the judge. The person who brought this against you has to prove that you will be a menace to him in the future. The judge will ask you if you want to contest it or agree to it. You contest it & tell him your side of the story. Unless he can prove that you have a history of doing something, he doesn't stand a chance. Just make sure you have the things you want to say ready in your mind. Try not to let it stress you out and tell the judge exactly what you said here. You don't want anything to do with him & that he brought home an underage girl. The judge will listen. Don't yell or be over emotional. Say what you have to say & let the judge rule. If there is no history of you stalking him or doing anything like this before, you won't have a problem. Good luck & try not to stress.

Does your court paper work say, "ex parte" domestic relationship PPO.Then it has been issued without a hearing.
If it says ex parte, you have 14 days (here anyway) to file for a hearing. If you do not file those papers in 14 days, then the order is in effect for the full amount of time listed.
You can go right to the court, and file for a hearing. The clerk will set the day, and then give you copy's of what you must have served to your ex. You can pay someone to serve him, or here you can legally mail it certified mail. It will give you all your options on the back of the paper work.
Make sure you show up for court, get a lawyer. Do not call him, if you see him somewhere then leave. If you violate the order you can go to jail.
I wouldn't worry about this to much, if it is shown that you have never been violent, then the order will be dropped.

On the paperwork that you received, there should be a court date. A judge will only issue a TEMPORARY order of protection without notice to both parties, so thats probably what is in effect now. The paperwork should have info regarding a date for the protection order to be made permanent. At that time, tell the judge you want to fight it and present evidence against the protection order, and hire an attorney or ask if you can get a court appointed attorney to help you.

The threat was an assault. Since you didn't hit him you did not commit battery. There is a relationship between the two of you and the judge might look at this as a domestic assault. Why you threatened him isn't going to matter much. In my opinion, I would try to avoid the trial. Ask his lawyer if he'll drop it and in return you will voluntarily leave him alone. He might go for it. Then, leave him alone. Forget what a scum bag he is. Work on getting over that looser and find someone worth spending your time with.

Contact a lawyer, or a legal aid representative in your area.
They will be able to tell you everything that you have to do in order to appeal the order.
Has your ex been reported as a predator and child molester, as this girl is certainly underage, and he should be charged because of that.
Good luck and have a good day.
