We have a unique apprach to these cases whereby we put in place a 'plan of action' beforehand which addresses the concerns of both the prosecutor and judge. By way of example, we will have the perosn take 'anger management couseling' to address 'anger' issues. We will have the person join AA if alcohol is the issue. We are proactive. Please call immediately to discuss. Ed Dimon, Esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235

As the victim, you always have the authority to dismiss the domestic violence order in place against him, but as part of that procedure, the court will want to be assured that you know the cycles of violence and that even by dismissing the order of protection today, if there is another incident in the future, you can file a new complaint against him. You would need to contact the domestic violence intake office in the county where the order was entered and tell them that you want to appear before the court to dismiss the order of protection in place. They will assist you with the forms and the procedure that needs to be followed. If there is another type of matter in the court system ( ie child support matter under an FD docket), you and he can also put in place a civil order for restraints, where you dismiss the domestic violence restraining order and replace it with a consent order for civil restraints barring contact and communication and barring him from coming into your home, etc but if he violates the order, your recourse is to file an application with the court for sanctions ( meaning he does not get arrested by the police for violating the order).
