Why did the judge deny petitioner's request to terminate PPO?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Some judges are reluctant to terminate a PPO even at the petitioners request, for fear of repercussions if she left the petitioner with no protection and then something did happen after that. After all, the petitioner filed and was granted the PPO for a reason. That is why people should think long and hard about the consequences of getting a PPO before they file one. If the judge is not willing to terminate it then perhaps the judge would be willing to modify some of the conditions. If not, you will just have to wait it out until it expires.

Can I file police report against hubby for credit card fraud against me before the divorce proceedings?

Laurie A. Schmidt
Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
It doesn't sound like the issues is if the divorce is final or not. The core issue is if your husband was an authorized signer at the time the charges were made. If he was an authorized signer at the time the charges were made, then it does not sound like there is any criminal culpability. As for the divorce proceedings, you can ask the judge to assign the portion of the credit card debt that you claim is your husbands to him. If he does not pay, you ma have to take collection actions.
