Add commentex parte:
meaning the defendant need not be noticed and rules of evidence and the right to face one's accuser are thrown out the window. No wonder it has become a procedural strategy for the divorcee.
ex parte
Ex Parte orders are only for 20 days and the respondent is given the chance to confront their accuser if a long term p/o hearing is requested. If one is not requested after 20 days the order expires. The ex parte is obviously issued for immediate safety and who ever requested one feels they are in danger at that time. An ex parte hearing is also not a trial hearing, they are not charged with anything by being served with the the order so there is no need to show evidence. They are only ordered to stay away from some one and if they violate that order then they will be charged but until then, it is not a trial.
It is not that simple.
Nor is it "obviously" related to one's immediate safety.
This town is too small to keep the lid on this can of nightcrawlers for much longer.
Just to clarify.
I really appreciate this forum's archive service. On the chance others periodically peruse this feature in their spare time allow me to expound upon my earlier glibness.
Imagine, for argument sake, one party has unilaterally decided to end a marriage with children. Custody becomes the ball in play. Lets further say there is no domestic violence issue in fact.
The party looks for options. A neighbor, friend, coworker, or worse, a well meaning family member who never liked the other party anyway empathizes and they huddle together to explore the most efficient options with the most likelihood for success, being defined as what is in the best interests of the children which happens to be primary custody to the soon to be plaintiff and immediate child support payments.
Now lets say the petitioner embellishes the facts to fall within the purview of an ex parte domestic violence order's low threshold of 'better safe than sorry'.
The respondent answers the door to uniformed officers with immediate eviction orders further stipulating the petitioner shall determine what may be removed from the house, or driveway, as the respondent is escorted outside. This is not an arrest so respondent is on his/her own.
For twenty days the respondent is basically homeless without access to marital assets much less a change of clothes without police escorts and willingness of the petitioner.
The petitioner starts thumbing through the yellow pages.
A lot of changes can happen in 20 days with the respondent having virtually no control.
Lets say the long term protective order is denied for "obvious" reasons.
It may not be an arrest much less a trial but it is court action with real results affecting property and parental rights and will become the 'gorilla in the room' in all future filings by opposing counsel.
Present readership excluded of course this process is very vulnerable to less scrupulous citizens than us, and I am certain I am not a lone voice in the community expressing these concerns.
