My son who is seventeen and going to be 18, one day before his hearing is wondering the same thing. He is concerned that his x will falsely accuse him of violating the 209 restraining order. She is the type of girl who may and i also worry that this will happen before the court date. What you can do is ask the phone company for a list of the calls that were made during the dates that she is accusing him of calling.To my knowledge your son and the girl would have to go in front of the judge again and at this time your son could present the phone calls listed and the times that she says he was calling. Also your son should look into putting a no stalking order on her because she is harrassing him now. Because she has probally broken the restraining order herself right now. I know how you feel you want to be there for your son and you want to believe in him and that is the way it should be. But sometimes we as parents need to pull back and let them figure out the ways of helpinf themselves. good luck our court date is March 3, 2000. pebbless133@aol.com

positively in St. Lucie County Fla. Worst of all the police and state are in bed together. And a female judge there doesnt feel the need to hold a hearing to insure ones rights are protected.

After being arrested over 12 times. Never found guilty once in any of the 3 trials and the rest of the times all charges were droped. All my x-wife did was say she was afraid.

Yet She has attacked me and my son numerous times and the police and State refuse to file charges even with one attack on video.

yes thats all it takes file a complaint with the police charging her with a false report. most states have a law like this. try to get phone records of all calls made to and from the homes. the police and state can do it very easy. Thats one of the very same charges i had and after the State did not find anything the charges were droped but not after i went to jail paid a huge bond and hire a laywer. Protect your son. document every thing he does and where he goes. Make sure he's never alone to insure he has a witness. Study and copy the hes charged with. understand it inside and out and look up other cases like it. File motions to have the charges dismissed or a motion of sham procedings and state why. you can find a motion in the court records copy the format and just change its facts to yours. the computer is a great tool alsofor this research. Filing your own motions cuts out the slowness of a paid attorney who really couldnt care less that your sons lifes being truned upside down and wants the money in full before he gets you in front of a judge. y you doing it your self theres a possibly getting the charges drop by the judge or maybe the state once they see your not going to take it lying down and theres no case. which you clearly spelled out in your motions. Your lawyer would only bring to light theses facts at a trial. best of luck
