I agree with you
Veronica, I am in North Carolina. My estranged wife now got her US citizenship test approved on 03-19-2024. Six days later, she filed a DVPO at the Victim Assistance of Charlotte, NC I filed her US citizenship application on September 29th, 2023, from that day forward. Everything changed. She didn't pick up her phone for the whole day. It was my mistake that I didn't pay any attention to these red flags. On October 14, I caught her with a man in the park touching his face. It is a long story. I have had 3 hearings. The first two hearings were not good because my first attorney sold herself out. The opposing attorney offered her a position in her firm, so she betrayed me, and I signed a MOJ that wasn't helping at all. The two crocks attorneys acted like they were working, but they didn't do anything. My new attorney has been good. He submitted a motion telling the judge in their hearings the conflict of interest issue. I haven't seen my kids for about 110 days. I have been sleeping in a semi truck since the day of separation. My ex-wife has a boyfriend for a long time. Before my official separation date.
What if ur on section 8
I completed BIPP but the DA won't offer anything besides probation. My ex told the DA that I drove by her job despite me not even being in the city. It feels like the "victim" can say whatever they want and the DA will go with it
Can you prove where you were? If youâre in a county that does them, has your attorney already set up a DA supervisor meeting?
@veronicatbartonesq yup! GPS from Google maps My attorney is talking about maybe trial or calling their "bluff". He has good reviews, but I haven't been impressed
For some reason they like the great imbalance...my grandmother used to say she needs to be popped... not beat down but popped...1 hit...A hit... there's no discernment among higher ups
Wow they need to charge all the cops that have done this.
Ok my ex cheated I said ima go to her work and make a scene ( cause they guy would vist her there) never did just packed her things. Days go by I get fired (we worked same place ) lose apt and met up once forgave her didnât ask her back, recently asked for few items since we being civil. She replied with Iâll give it to a co worker give to u, which I reply â ok,â2 min later lI reply ânvm you need them more than I doâ next day cops at my door. Can I fight this . Only time it got ugly was the day I caught her stayed away etc days after trying to heal. Please help
Or damaging proof that your ex is a nut job.
My neighbor falsely accused me of pointing a tool at your child. I have a camera showing my entire action. I showed it to the police but they still filed charges on me. I was wrongfully evicted & I had a hard time getting an attorney.I got a public attorney. I showing the footage To the attorney & my accuser was subpoenaed. she never showed up to court because she lied on her address. My case was dismissed.
lol thatâs ridiculous. Itâs too easy to catch a charge
Why do you not help victims that don't want to drop charges
Wait so I need to hire a lawyer I canât win by myself? Now Iâm nervous cause my ex put one on me and when I asked for some items back, she wanted give it to someone to give to me all I responded was â you need them more than me â and next day boom I got hit. Is that even legal ?
đŻ
Where is the video of women lying destroying men lives
After all that i still have a question if she takes out a pfa then comes to me, perform xxx acts and swallows falls asleep in the bed, why should i be violated these brainiacs really haven't thought this through...i hurt you so much that you are now performing fallatio and falling asleep but she tells them she's in fear for her life and needs this order in place but she's doing all of this...our justice system is bogus
What classes though?
I Australia itâs just a matter of not excepting the contract! All rights reserved
Wish this was working for me, I defended myself and they tryna put me under the jail. Iâm about to fire my lawyer too because I donât feel like Iâve been represented appropriately
If I'm representing myself can I contact the da before the court date?
Exactly 20 days from now I start my murder trial in California and Iâve been stuck watching these type of videos đ
Did you do it?
I donât care lol you gotta pay for a drunk driving đ
Or it could be the complete opposite way. You may get physically assaulted, cops may intervene, ask the person to leave and never take him or her to jail bc they didnât think anything had happened, person blatantly lies to the cops and they believe it. Then fast forward you find out that this person shouldâve gone straight to jail but he didnât bc you didnât know your own rights. The reality is that yes! There are nasty, vindictive people out there, but some of us just needed protection and that never happened. Youâre focusing on one side only, when thereâs tons of victims who never get the justice they deserve.
Ah, all you had to say was Commiefornia
I have an f350 with a giant towing hitch. The truck is 21 feel long and will just destroy their can. California is insane
đŸ
The word California is all you need to know.
Fault IS Fault!
Of course the one fucking state that can possibly not have the drunk driver at fault, dumb fucking California
What about the stress of doing those classes if your innocent fuck those classes
Mental illness is largely chromosomal!
Unless you're in Virginia... i went to prison on my first ever felony charges. I didn't even live in the state. I was traveling through it. But it wasn't DV. This is a "unique" channel, but everyone deserves a fair trial regardless of guilt.
I do not agree with admitting guilt. Specially when I'm not guilty.
I never knew that, background checks? What else can it affect?
I really woukd love a quick response to this question. Can I & if so how would I motion for mediation?!
It's truly disgusting to hear about judges railroading these cases since it can often destroy an individuals life & livelihood. Our legal system being overburdened is not my fault so I should not be denied the opportunity to defend myself & see that justice is done.
THIS coming from a woman is diabolical. I hope to God you never find yourself in a DV situation lady. And if you do...well I guess he can get off with this video right. Clown đ€Ą
At around 6:45 you mention sometimes the judge may have already decided against the pettitioner before hearing the respondent. I don't want to waste the courts time any further than my wife already has with this bad faith filing, but if the judge has already signed off on a hearing (though not an ex parte), and the petitioner gives the narrative & evidence as stated in their affidavit & then some it sure seems odd they would reject the DVRO without hearing at least something to counter the claims from the respondent. After reading these comments it seems much, much more likely the judge would be just railroading the respondent vs rejecting the restraining order.
So, all solid advice here, although Iâll admit Iâm much more curious about the personal ethics involved in specializing in DV defendants. Do you need to depersonalize the relationships and cases? Has it changed your understanding of DV over time, and if so, how? Have you ever successfully defended someone only for that to enable worse abuse that caught you off guard? Great video production, by the way. The channel is a little niche, but good job
BTW Veronica, your avatar is dead sexy! Lol.
lol right? I think some of the strange comments might have been people who felt catfished.
@@veronicatbartonesq lol. I'm about to say something that is slightly inappropriate. You are a beautiful lady. And I can testify that even though you aren't getting that many views, they are important views. Your work helped me get out of a jam that I didn't know how to face on my own. Thank you. If you're embarrassed by this comment, feel free to erase it after you read it. Thank you for your work.
I donât understand what you mean by âfiled.â A court date is set but it hasnât happened yet, so is that âfiled?â Iâm the victim and am on his side, the DA wonât talk to me and the state took up a felony charge . Do I go in person to state attorney to persist that they listen to me that the cops tricked me into pressing charges , since they wonât answer me either and all my motions to modify the protective order got rejected by the county clerkâs? I did file to dismiss the case with the court appointed attorney but the sister got involved now And I donât think she understands that Iâm trying to get it all dismissed and he did alienate from her and his family for a reason some years ago. So Iâm kind of boxed out
Can you please make a video on the rights of the alleged victim (me) to have info on protective orders? The cops told me theyâd only take this drunk veteran in to get help if he âdid something physicalâ despite manyyyy phone calls by myself and neighbors that he clearly needed help. Iâm his landlord and yes he did actually put his hands on my neck that day, but I definitely did my part to get the situation to that point because otherwise the cops refused to take him to get help at the VA . I signed the affidavit by the public defender saying what you said in this video - it was a bad night etc (yes we were âinvolvedâ the last couple months but he was still always on a lease and had his own space). The cops never told me there was a protective order and itâs been a month and heâs going to trial for a felony in about 1 week , but I am not allowed to contact him nor him me. Heâs distant from his family on purpose and so am I from mine and I am in fact assigned a court ordered fiduciary because my family is not bad people , they just donât align with what I feel is best for me, and I see it a mile away why he chose to separate from his family. Since the courts would not let me communicate with him, and I happened upon his sisters phone number I texted and the 1 sister and now sheâs essentially making it even worse because sheâs acting like Iâm the enemy and Iâm not sure sheâs equipped to wisk him away (he is schizophrenic which Iâm ok with). Iâm female and 20 yrs older than him, no kids, and Iâd never impose my will on him but I donât know if anyone has let him know that 1. I didnât terminate his lease so if the state would drop the protective order he could stay here for as long as he wants to 2. The cops told me they were going to get him help and I was never informed and even now nobody will give me a copy of this restraining order. He was considering a gender transition, myself am an artificial intelligence engineer so I spend my days working from home talking to synthetic humans that I cook up or my ai agent, so already neither of us has a particularly normal life. He talks to invisible people, I talk to synthetic people, Iâm probably on the spectrum and he definitely needed help with alcoholism. I just wanted the VA to be able to help him, because when they dragged me in to get help it changed my life 100%, but charging him with a felony after repeated calls to 911 where they refused to get him help and kept pressuring me to evict him or to build a case against him and get him committed was too much . We are in Texas ⊠Iâm supposed to get to file pro se but the clerks have rejected every single one of my motions to modify the restraining order or to clarify it. I feel so defeated. I know youâre in cali but I do think this is a very different case and I know they are trampling my rights as the victim and his as someone with mental health, starting from the police deptâs failure to keep this from escalating by taking him to the designated city mental health professionals ⊠maybe Iâll never see him again and that is what it is, this is kind of my last ditch effort
Why is DV court filled mostly with dudes lol
Im going to court for this on the 5th of this month i hade no idea any of this was happening i only found out because my 2nd job background check cane back in i hade a felony charge with a arrest warrant out for me because they sent the court letter to my okd address im wondering if the warrant made it a felony ?
So all the times you're reckless and nobody dies, is that attempted murder?
False accusation? Ha! easy to call them false when you're not the victim... just saying
Malignant heart murder, they don't know what else to create these days
Can a restraining order be made to penalize anyone regardless of the situation? For instance, if the person filing it was the one who is aggressive and destructive? My neighbor called 911 and told them I attacked her. She is now filing a restraining order. The thing is I showed the Police a video of what happened and it was in fact her attacking me*. You can even see her smirking at me when she was lying to the 911 operator about me grabbing her(she doesnt know I have cameras in the area). The video shows me as I backed away from her with my hands in the air. I also have several videos of her destroying my raspberry and blackberry bushes(talking to herself as she stabs at the branches to cut them away), destroying one of my vegetable gardens by crushing my plants with the cinder blocks used in my own compost pile(we are in a land dispute and the compost pile was in an area they claim as theirs). There is another video of her and her husband killing our 19 year old mulberry tree(although I dont think they did it on purpose. They pruned it to death right as it was coming out of dormancy)...but Im getting the restraining order placed on me? I dont go near her, talk to her, or even look at her, her husband, nor her kids. When we see them, we just go back in the house. We are kind of scared of her, she's unstable(her husband even said she was once, in confidence, back when he and I got along. That "she could be vindictive and aggressive". That she "cycles" through emotions. Whatever that means)..and she has (subtly)threatened to harm my puppies.< but I cant prove that. She is a Wealthy Pediatric radiologist and Im a struggling artist. I cant do a long, expensive court battle. *apparently it wasnt a crime for her to grab the hose in my hand use it to push me back and then throw the hose to the ground..I was following a court order to remove my raspberry bush and needed to loosen the soil by watering when she went off on me.
So the respondent / petitioner doesnât need to know either or party hired an attorney?
Arenât we legally allowed to record these interactions? Also, arenât most officers required to wear body cams too?
The way you word the beginning is pretty disturbing. Youâre taking joy and describing âabsolutely destroyingâ someone at the initial hearing, who very likely is a victim of abuse just trying to get some protection from the court..
