Legal Question in Family Law in New York

protection order

once a permanent order of prtotection for one year was

granted, does that mean that you are no longer able to

return to your home once the order expires? the order

was issued for second degree harrassment.

Re: protection order

Once an order of protection expires, the

prohibitions contained therein also expire

You could technically return

but if the underlying problems which led to

the issuance of the Order of Protection

have not been resolved it is very common

for new charges to be filed and another

order issued. These also tend to follow

stays in jail, because it is the second

time the judge has to deal with the same

situation

during the year's absence, it is also

unusual for their to be no treatment or work

towards correcting difficulties or

commencement of legal action for divorce

or separation

seems counsel is needed

Re: protection order

Please see my response to your earlier question. Your approach to this problem has been unrealistic. Your wife does not want to live with you. The house is not going to be there for you.

It is time to end the marriage and to cut your losses. By trying to go back to the house, either now or a year from now, you would only be putting yourself in harm's way.
