What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WV

I am currently separated from my husband because of a domestic violence issue. I have filed a protective order and go to court next week Tuesday the 13th. I filed for the longest possible order but i would like to lessen it is that possible? I am expecting a child April 12th and I would like for my husband to be able to be there for the birth. Is that possible even though there is a protective order?

Unless a judge waives the no contact portion of the order, it will remain in effect.

Why would you want an abusive man at the birth of your child? He abused you while you carried his child. Why would you want to deal with him during the birthing???

You're trying to create a doorway by which the man who abused you can re-enter your life to do it again. If he hurt you while you were pregnant, which is likely, he was basically saying, "I know you're having my baby, but I don't care." It was more important to "discipline" you.

Why do you want anything more to do with an abusive man?

He's not going to change, although he will promise (honest!) to do so.

And he'll be terribly sorry for everything after he's hit/kicked/punched you. He'll beg, he'll plead, he'll make promises that he won't keep. He might even buy you gifts...

You need to make a complete break, now that you are away and safe.
