My husband filed a child abuse to DCF on 2/7/14 and a temporary injunction for protection against domestic violence with minor children and approved on 2/10/14. It is a false accusation and I am trying to fight now. It is not fair that the judge granted my husband request and I have not had a chance to explain my side of story. As a victim of false accusation on injunction against me, is there any law to defend myself? Or do I need to wait until the hearing date? I hired a lawyer but he could not come to the court on hearing date because of the conflict. We requested the motion of continue on 2/19/14. My lawyer told me that we are trying to amend this injunction so my husband and I can email/text. Then, later we will request to dismiss if these do not work, then request a court hearing. How long does this process take? Could I ask to request a new court date now? Since it is stated in the injunction, I am not allowed to see my kids so long it is already 3 weeks. Is there any parent's right that I can use to see my kids sooner than the court date or amendment? Thank you for the advice. Also, I have been a homemaker for last 11 years.
