Re: cease and desist
Did you already have the order of protection hearing? What happened at the hearing? You should have been given adequate notice of the hearing so that you could defend yourself. If not, you may have a remedy for that. You could also file a civil suit for defamation of character if in fact what she is saying is not the truth. The Court house would depend on where you live. If you have any further questions or wish to have a consultation feel free to contact me.
