I filed contempt on my ex on our protection order. He violated it and got away with it, a slap on the wrist, that's it. I had to file again recently twice, and now he has a lawyer, I don't know where to turn, he has stopped paying child support to make sure I am broke. I can't afford a lawyer now, and it's a $750 fee for this. Legal aid doesn't do contempt for DV...... I have nothing and he was supposed to serve jail last time. He is bullet proof basically. Abusers always get away with everything.
