Cop lied on report she never hit me just yelled!I was told I could have contact with her in jail. But now she was r.o.r to someone. yet still in jail!And now i can't see her. How long does a case like this take? She got a mental eval. But her p/d was not there the day she was in court! So judge didn't see info that her parents kept her locked in a basement for years! I told the judge. I have taken care of this woman for past 7 years.. and really miss her since, we didn't know anyone. I can't pay all the bills now.. AND now lawyer told me i can't have any info on her since, no contact order is there! what can i do at this point 14 days since it happen! we have had other cases in the past! 6 dom/vol in 6 years between us! yet nonething happen there just people calling so they can steal our stuff while we are in jail. even when she has told them i didn't touch her i have had to go to jail. since there is that law if they come someone goes to jail!

It is up to the officers who respond to a call to determine whether or not an act of domestic violence has occurred. Apparently, the police thought one had been committed. The temporary stay away order will stay in effect until a judge has the opportunity to hear testimony from both sides. It is usually held within a 2 week period from the date the temporary order was entered.
