Re: domestic violence

First, get your head examined -- love does not viciate violence. Then, decide NOT to have the restraining order removed. But if you still want to have the order rescinded (because you like being beaten silly by someone you love), petition the court that issued it.

Re: domestic violence

Removing the order is not difficult. You must appear before the court and make the request. It is made by motion on notice and it is not complicated.

I would be happy to assist you under one condition: that the person in your life who has physically harmed you and you now want to spend time with promises to do some counseling/therapy/anger management course.

I could not forgive either of us if I helped you and he hurt you again.
