[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1890435, member: 7539"] Yup... that's the way it works when they file an emergency VPO. It's an ex parte hearing where they stand before the judge and offer some explanation of why they feel they need it. If there was a relationship of some kind, it's just about automatic. Either way though, the standard is very low at that hearing and gives the person requesting it much benefit of the doubt (as should probably be). At this stage of the game, it's only a temporary order. When the REAL hearing is scheduled, then the other party gets to show up and challenge everything to keep it from becoming a permanent order. Here is where the rubber hits the road and I don't have any insight as to how easy it is for the person who took it out to gain a permanent order without some serious evidence. I would hope that judges weigh it very carefully. [/QUOTE]
