A respondent who believes an injunction is unwarranted has the right to contest it at the full hearing. The petitioner bears the burden of proving that domestic violence occurred or that an imminent threat exists, and the respondent can cross-examine witnesses and present their own evidence.
The hearing is the respondent’s opportunity to prevent a final order from entering, and the preparation for it matters enormously given the short timeline. A domestic violence injunction lawyer at Brodzki Jacobs can represent you at that hearing. Call 954-932-8300 to get ready for it.
