I apologize for not updating this thread in a few days. Long story short, after the incident with the police and removing all the remaining items from my apartment, i cut off all contact with her completely in order to move on with my life.
Yesterday I was served with a temporary restraining order and a hearing date. Her affidavit claims that I was stalking her in the form of harassing phone calls and text messages.
However, the state law says it is not stalking if I have a lawful reason to contact someone (I assume the fact that I have an email from her stating that she wants to remain friends and that I can call her if I want to talk like adults is grounds for lawful contact, as well as the fact that I had all of her possessions still in my apartment at the time she says I was calling her, as well as the fact that she called me just as many times during that time period, and I have phone records to prove it).
Unfortunately, because we were in a dating relationship, her claims of stalking automatically fall under domestic violence and she was granted an ex parte hearing (a hearing in which I was not allowed to be present) and the judge granted a temporary restraining order.
Do any of you have experience with this kind of thing? If I bring my phone records and the email to the judge on the date of my hearing and show that I had a lawful reason for contacting her, and that after that lawful reason (namely her property in my apartment) was taken care of I did not make any attempts to contact her, can I get the permanent order denied?
Quite honestly I have no intention of ever talking to her or seeing her again, but with a restraining order she will have a huge amount of power over me. In just being granted the temporary order, my right to bear arms has been suspended. I want to move on with my life without my rights being restricted, or in fear of her becoming vindictive and falsely accusing me of violating the terms of the order.
