I have court order saying my now ex husband can’t return to the material home. Unless the attorneys give him permission. Well he keeps coming to the home. So I went to the magistrates office, gave him the copy of the police report. Filled charges against my ex. His attorney defended him and told the courts he gave him permission to come to the house, but his attorney did not contact my attorney. So, the judge found him not guilty to the domestic criminal trespassing. His attorney was telling the judge that it was his fault for allowing him to come to home and that he takes full responsibility. Can I do something about that? it just seems unfair. The courts here in Onslow County, the system is really bad. If your spouse of a military member, the courts I feel are not protecting the victims of domestic violence.
Sincerely,
Barbara
If the case was dismissed, there is nothing you can do. If it happens again, take out the charges again and be sure to establish contact with the assistant district attorney that will be prosecuting the case on the court date.
