My husband had his arraignment on the domestic violence case (involving me), but did not plea so he has a new court date (have no idea why he wouldn't plea and "reschedule -- is that unusual?). He had an automatic 7-day emergency restraining order placed on him when arrested, but I did not re-new that restraining order after the seven days because I did not need to. Not an abuser, but mean and nasty and scary as hell when he gets drunk (very rarely). First-time occurance. But at the arraignment, the judge put a THREE-YEAR/NO-CONTACT WHATSOEVER restraining order on him... we are married and need help, but we can't even speak for three years! Not even between a third party. I'm not saying the judge doesn't know what he's doing, but it's extremely harsh and I want to have it lifted... I am not afraid of my husband. My husband is not making me say this, either!
Who do I contact and tell this to, and is it likely the judge would lift it?? He made a huge mistake that night -- we both did, we got way drunk and were hateful to each other. Any suggestions on who to contact or what to do... is it impossible when it is court-enstated??
Thank you!!
