What is the name of your state? CA
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes....
This is for my stepson, who is 23 years old, and I'm wondering how and if I can help or pass some advice to him. His ex-girlfriend is a little crazy, and he's just now seeing how crazy she is since he just broke up with her. After breaking up with her, she went by his apt when he wasn't there, and ransacked his room. Obviously can't prove it, but moving on. He later went to her house to collect some of his belongings, and they got into an argument. The cops were called, but obviously nothing had happened to cause the police to arrest either him or her, but she was in such a rage that he was afraid. He filed for, and was granted a restraining order. While he was waiting for the Sherriff to serve her, she filed for one also. Not sure who was actually served first though, but before he was actually served his, his employer advised him not to go into work, but would not tell him why. Once he was served, he realized that must've been the reason, but his employer still will not give him a reason, nor a date that he can return - he is left in limbo. Meanwhile, the next day his ex comes by the apartment complex and picks up both of their vehicles (against his father's advice, they had jointly purchased two vehicles together - she is the registered owner of one, but they are joint account holders with the finance company. I know, pretty dumb, but he didn't want to listen to his father back then). So, the ex came and picked up BOTH cars. He has since shown the police the necessary documentation to prove he is co-owner, and along with the police went by her place to pick up "his" car - the one of the two that he had driven the most. She told the police she did not have it and it was not there. Now a little incrimination on her part: once he and the police left, they went together to the police station, and she called the police saying that he had come back and broke the restraining order and that she wanted him arrested. Obviously lying to get him arrested, and the officer coldly told her that was not possible as my stepson was still with him
Long story....and will probably get uglier....but my question is, can he get her restraining order dismissed based on fraudulent information, using this last situation to prove she is lying? He is likely not able to go to work because of her falsified restraining order, when it should really be the other way around. Secondly, is there something he can do about the cars because he obviously will be held financially liable for both if she defaults, but he cannot get possession to even one because of what she has done in hiding "his".
Any advice/help is appreciated.
