Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey
Police department not taking action in an order
I have an order that a neighbor was not supposed to have any contact with my family. He then hit my son, was calling my other son names. When i called the police, they said the order was meaningless. A lawyer told me this was signed by a judge and should have been enforced. Since then, this man, who is old, hit my husband with an ax handle and my husband had a concussion. Can i take any action? The police and the judge have refused to help us in this matter. The judge actually changed venues to a different town after i questioned what his order meant.

Do you have an attorney? Sounds like you really need one at this point. Otherwise, it seems like you are getting nowhere fast.

You are apparently acting without the assistance of an attorney. Hire an attorney. This is obviously not something you know how to handle yourself.
Call me if you like.

Re: Police department not taking action in an order
Assuming that no one in your family attacked this man, and that there is no other reason or justification under law for what he did (I would need more info to be absolutely certain of this), you have the following claims at least:
1. criminal charges for hitting your son and husband. the police have no right to refuse to pursue that.
2. civil lawsuit against him for hitting son and husband.
3. depending on what the Order says, criminal charges for 'contempt of Court' for disobeying the order.
