Hi all
Looking for some advice please. I suffered years of abuse at the hands of my wife. Finally I had the courage to leave after suffering a heart attack. I was living with her mum at the time. Cut a long story short , my wife had sent a text to me by accident thinking it was a man I had previously suspected she was seeing. I stupidly went round there and we ended up arguing. I went to grab the phone off her and we fell to the floor I got the phone and left. She called the police I was arrested. I eventually got charged and ended up with a conviction with which she had a restraining order put upon me. Said order ran out beginnning of Feb so I sent my children a letter as she has made it very difficult for me to see them with the order in place. In fact I have only seen them twice in 18 months and when I sent a phone to the children she had me arrested for breaking my order. I was taken to court and found not guilty.
I sent my kids a letter after the order ran out and a week later I receive a letter from the court saying she has applied for a non mol order on the grounds of harassment!! Her statement is filled with lie upon lie of which I have proof to back it up from the ipcc and marac reports.
My question is what are the chances a of me getting this order overturned based on the evidence I have or will they take into account the charge I have into account and play in her favour?
Hi There
.
My view would be that as you didn't break the non mol order while it was in place and that you have evidence that proves she is making things up, then the judge should dismiss the claims, but it will be down to the judge on the day.
.
Hopefully the evidence you have will be enough to get the claims thrown out.
