If her family has intervened to that extent, then that tells me that they have witnessed things that do not sit well with them...maybe you don't feel it is serious, but magistrates to not pass out protective orders like candy....there has to be some evidence of value....your wife saw fit to get the paperwork generated, therefore, she has concerns...I know more than anyone how people use the system for vengeful anger, but we cannot assume that is always the case..

If she is a grown woman, of normal maturation, her sister is not holding her against her will....doubtful that she ran there for the fun of it...you need to block her phone number, leave her alone...go answer the courts questions at due time and give some respect to the system that daily keeps many men and women safe from abusive spouses.....do not encourage her to drop the order...allow it to run the course...if you are innocent, then you get to provide details of that....

If she drops it...she will likely try to get another and this becomes a game..if you truly know that this is her game, then you need to show her that the order is a serious issue..it will forever be associated with your name now in LE....you need it to play through in order to get a disposition.....
