Re: re-hearing/domestic violence/ex-parte
You will probably need an attorney to present all of the evidence before the court. You can seek a modification, but unless you convince the judge that things have changed, probably nothing will happen. You have too many facts and variables for advice over the internet to be of any use to you. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
