Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Re: Mt wife got a bogus restraining order

The first step is to mount an aggressive defense to the restraining order.

A finding that domestic abuse has occurred can have a devastating impact on your record even though the matter is civil in nature. You can be precluded from possessing a weapon even for hunting purposes and the record may affect job prosepects and your ability to rent an apartment. Perhaps, even more significantly, a finding against you would impair your rights should you have children and a custody case occurs.

Certainly a person can be charged with perjury for making a false DV report. However, such charges are difficult to prove and very rare.
