Question

My husband and I have an nco from 2013. I have appealed it four times been before the judge once and each time been denied. How can we get this dropped

Answer

Every case is a little different, and every judge is a little different. Can you talk to the lawyer who represented whichever one of you has the order restricting them?

Most judges want to see the underlying case resolved, and the person in treatment, before they will modify an order. Most courts have a written policy about when and why they will modify orders; take a look at that and make sure you have done everything.

Finally, if you can't talk to the original lawyer, contact another one that practices in that court. He or she will be able to give you some insight about the process.
