Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: parents trying to get involved with my case

Even though you are 18 and technically an adult, it looks to me that you really do need the guidance of your parents here.

You state - and I quote - "i told them that it was just a mistake calling the cops on him because i acted very irrational at that time because i was scared."

It does not sound to me like you were irrational at all. Calling the police when you are scared is very rational. Were you scared because he was abusing you? What was he doing that was inappropriate that caused you to call the police?

Trust your parents. Reconsider whether or not you should be dismissing the TRO. Before you dismiss, you should seek the guidance of a professional psychological counselor to figure out what is going on in your relationship. Then you can decide what you want to do. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. If you have not retained an attorney, before you take any action, you may want to contact an attorney in your geographic area to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: parents trying to get involved with my case

You can prevent your parents from intervening in your case by telling the judge that you object to their speaking in your case. Whether a judge will bar your parents from the court room depends upon the judge you get. 800 273 7933 is my telephone number.
