Hearing:
You will be given a court date when you are issed the
Ex-Parte Order of Protection. You must appear at the hearing. If the respondent
has not been served by the court date, you will need to appear and at this time
you may ask the judge to schedule another hearing date. Also ask that the order
remain in effect until the next court date.
You will be representing yourself (unless you hae an
attorney to represent you.) At the hearing, be prepared to give your version of
the incident of the abuse to the judge. If you have any witnesses, pictures of
the abuse or any other evidence you feel would be helpful in presenting your
case to the judge, you may bring them to your hearing.
