What is the name of your state? California.
My ex-wife likes to use TRO's as a weapone against me. Wait, I know, that's what all the abusers say. However, in my case it is the truth. I moved 500 miles away from her and she filed a restaining order against me. At the initial hearing, the judge allowed me to appear by telephone, then for the court date my ex-wife duped me and told me she was having it continued. Well, she did not. I did not think much of it because I was never served and afterall, I was 500 miles away. So, now I moved back and she is holding it over my head. I am tired of having to account for my whereabouts. Also, I am very concerned that there is a public record of 5 DV complaint on me, aand it does not state on the internet that 4 of them were defended. So here is my questions.
1. Now that the RO is semi-permanet (3 years) what do I file to fight the order (I looked at the file and she has proof of service even though I never recived it); do I file an OSC?
2. How do I get the courts to erase the records of the previous DV cases?
