4 Reasons Why You Should Never Dismiss a Protective Order Against Your Abusive Husband

Michelle Knudson
Women often dismiss a protective order against the abusive husband that turns out to be one major regret. The protective order that the judge signed for you to protect you is not something to take lightly. A judge will not issue a protective order unless he knows that are in danger so do not dismiss it down the road. Here are four reasons why you should never dismiss a protective order against your abusive husband.

You Worked Too Hard To Get A Judge to Sign One

Don't give up all of the work that it took you in order to get one. You got one because at the time you knew in your gut that your life was in danger. You know that you fear your husband at times. You know that you had to convince the judge with a ton of documents such as police reports etc. to get him to sign it. Do not let all of that work go to waste just because your ex husbands family or your family may put pressure on you to remove it. You have every given right in the United States to have one.

You Are A Fool To Give Up The Only Protection You Have From Your Abusive Husband

A protective order is the only thing that protects you as far as a piece of paper goes according to the law. You do not want to dismiss it due to family pressure or pressure from the ex including friends that you may both know. The only reason why a soon to be ex husband would want a protective order dismissed is so that he can continue to abuse you again like the same way he always did in the past.

Use Your Right to Have a Restricted Protective Order Made Forever Against Your Abusive Husband

There is such a thing as a limited protective order that is forever against your abusive husband. You can have a judge dismiss certain parts, but he doesn't allow your husband to go anywhere near your house. The judge can make it so that your husband can't stalk you or harass you in any way whatsoever.

You Want To Be Taken Seriously When It Involves Authorities

A protective order against your soon to be ex husband that has been dismissed by you looked bad on your part. It implies to authorities that you weren't very serious about the first one if you have it dismissed when it goes to court to make it forever permanent so whatever you do not have a protective order ever dismissed when you are really in danger. Do not give up the only power that you have at your hands for any authority figures in the whole United States to help you stay safe from your abusive husband.
