Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Reconsideration motion for anti-harassment
My spouse's ex-wife lied and got an order on me. She said I stalked her during the time I was IN court. I provided docs showing I was in court and got statements from witnesses in court with me. Her police report says one thing, her verbal testimony is different. She's made herself clear that she will do whatever she can to put me in jail because she hates me. She lied to police about molestation, etc and admitted to lying about it in domestic document after that info was used against her re: custody of their child.
somehow she got her order regardless. I think my 25+ pages of evidence may have been overwhelming and the judge may not have seen the important ones?
this individual has a warrant for DV in another county and was let go, has a history of DV and is being prosecuted for violating another anti-har order.
Can I get the order reconsidered or does the judge take that as an insult and not review it.

Re: Reconsideration motion for anti-harassment
Your insticts are correct, telling a judge they got it wrong is a set up to get told otherwise.
In DV land, the rules of evidence don't apply. Seriously.
You have a huge uphill battle and if you are serious, lawyer up with an appeals attorney and see if they can make some headway.
Remember the deadlines are very short, the sooner you talk to somebody the better.
