Re: Dv
Interesting question. The reason I say that is because an order is not lawful unless 'served' upon you. If it was 'served' upon you than you'd know about it. So, technically speaking, if you haven't been made aware of the order there isn't one. However, to see if the judge authorized an order against you you can follow the advice of Mr. Ferris.
