Re: a court order of protection
The answer depends a great deal on the judge and the prosecuting attorney involved, but generally speaking not showing up in court in such a case is not a good idea and could end up with you jailed for either contempt of court (for ten days) or for filing a false report (and doing more than 30 days). Talk to a local attorney, or if you don't know any feel free to call me at 423-267-4391.
