More details to this question:
Ex-wife pulled a nutty 2 times, punching holes in doors and calling the cops on ME. She was successful in getting a restraining order against me. With no arrest, I'm not overly concerned with criminal charges but I'm unclear as to her overall intent. I have a hearing on 8/24 and wonder if i really NEED an attorney or if it can be handled pro se.

Without knowing more about your background or facts of the case, it is very difficult question to answer. DV hearings are difficult and the ramifications can be significant. While you are entitled to represent yourself, many times that is not the best course. Knowing what evidence to present is important. For example, do you subpoena the police officers to the hearing or not. There is a lot of strategy that is involved in the process. Best wishes.
