More details to this question:
I put a personal protective order on my ex boyfriend due to the last final incident. He broke out my mother's car window and prior he had tried to physically attack me. The police was never call in the attempt of the assaults, just when the window got broken out. But now my ex boyfriend is trying to get the protective order terminated. How can I prevent this from happening? We're going to court in about a week and he stated I lied and nothing I stated was true but my mother witness it. Could my statement help keep the protective order?

If your mother is a witness then you have to bring her to court to testify. Bring all witnesses to the incidents to court to testify at the hearing.

Bring your witnesses and give your testimony, it will be up to the Court which will base its decision on the evidence before it.

You will need to appear at the hearing. Your mother should also be there.

Even though he is the one initiating the termination, you will have to show evidence to the judge that supports you having a PPO. In other words, you will have to convince the judge that you need protection from him. I would suggest retaining a lawyer to represent you at this hearing, especially if your ex boyfriend has one. They know the rules of evidence, courtroom procedures, and we'll be able to present your case affectively to the judge.
