Re: protection order

The court on this evidence is unlikely to be willing to grant a CPO(Civil Protection Order) against the young man accused.

The better remedy is very likely to be the one you've already suggested, i.e., modification of the

visitation order in order to completely eliminate or at least severly constrict the opportunity for the suspected one to have any contact with your daughter.
