Re: Questions about law from a paralegal student

1. The same court that issued the order of protection

2. Once the violation of the order of protection is established, then you can go to the criminal court and get an order from that court. That will have greater remedies available for violation.

3. 'menacing' is a criminal charge. So criminal court is the place.

You can also sue for civil damages.
