It's a bit unclear whether you are referring to the TPO court or a criminal charge; if the latter, you really should confer with a decent criminal attorney, but a first offense DV typically results, ultimately, in a "stay out of trouble for 6 months" stayed proceeding, perhaps some DV or substance abuse counseling, and ultimately a dismissal. But to get there, you really should confer with qualified criminal law counsel.
