Hello. Generally, where an

order of protection is in

place, the court order

of protection prohibits the

husband getting the car under

these circumstances. However,

I would suggest calling the

local police and asking them

to accompany (the husband)

to the house to get the car.

If they cooperate, the court

probably (maybe) will back

off and leave the car with

the husband. A lawyer is

a must in situtations like

this. Do not do a solo act.
