But, in CT, a person can lie to the court & say he/she was verbally threatened to be harmed by spouse and then court will order a restraining order and tell the “threatening” spouse to move out, usually for 2 weeks, until a court hearing.
I know cuz it happened to me. My ex lied and obtained a RO against me! I was devastated when my Atty called me at work and said I could not go home & had to stay 1000 feet away from my house.
While the experience was so horrible, it was a fact that I was too afraid of my ex to make any threats towards him! 2.) I couldn’t prove that he was lying. They just automatically, immediately gave my ex the RO, based on what he told the court clerk (lies).
