What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I have just been to a hearing that moved a TRO to a PRO and the grounds for the action were only based on allegations that had no credible evidence to back the action, and no eyewitnesses. The only thing which was really against me from what I could determine was that my wife and I had been overnight in County Jail for domestic assault. Now the prosecuting DA had the charges dropped if we met the requested counseling mandated us. After counseling was completed we still worked on the marriage and lived separate but we were together on average 4 or 5 times a week, no further incidents to report until February 5, when my wife and I were in her car talking, she and I had been living together for about a month and I was about to give up my residence to be permanently in the home, this being too much pressure she had to find a way to force me out she wasn't ready but she could not tell me that, she has a daughter the daughter loved having me around. So i move out a week later we sit to talk she claimed in the petition that during that time I threatened her, and assaulted her, which is not true but there are no witnesses, and of course she never called the police nor did she visit a medical facility, so after our talk i did hug her, and said good bye, I didn't contact her till the following monday by text stating "i hope you have a nice day" fifteen minutes later, she calls hysterical saying her car caught fire and I had to have sabotaged the car. Which of course I did not, but to her I did. Let me state clearly and without hesitation, I love my wife, and if I am ever going to be whole with her, threatening and malicious actions are by no means the way to achieve that end. That being said I offered to go help and she refused me, I got a call a few minutes later from my mother-in-law, she told me not to worry my wife was under a lot of stress, give her space and time she will be ok. Well two days later i have this TRO, now permanent.
The judge would not allow my character reference statements to be entered, even though under the rules of evidence where character is a must without eye witnesses, I believe i have legal grounds to make the appeal. I did not commit any acts of violence nor did I threaten to commit any. I would like some input. Thanks
