I am in a similar position to you but thankfully the local police were extremely helpful when I wanted to collect my things.
The order against me expires in 32 days. Despite the advice here that she needs new allegations or incidents to get another one I am expecting her to try. And given the way the system is I believe she will get what she wants.
While she needlessly worries about that I am hoping to get parenting and property matters sorted as soon as I can so I can get away from this person and get on with my life.
Hi Jamie27, you have been lucky.
I'm assuming my ex will do and say what she needs to get another one. There is no need for it, I have no interest in her and didn't from the start. She has just used a system she understood to manipulate things in her favor and has and will say anything to get her way.
I have complied with all the conditions on my order from the very start but was breached on a technicality, the day I was served the attending officers had to leave for an emergency call. I was still in the process of putting a few items in my car,
I had locked the house and was on the footpath at the time. The officer asked me how long I would be and I said maybe 4 or 5 minutes, he said ok but if i come back after this job and your hear I will breach you. I said thank you, finished loading the car and drove off.
Nine months later I get a call telling me the police are looking for me. I went to the nearest station as soon as possible, I was taken into an interview room and read my rights. After a lot of talking it finally came out that 6 weeks after
I was removed from my house my ex returned from her time in hiding in domestic safe houses and found out that I had been at the property for those few minutes after the police left. She went door to door around every neighbor to find one to go and make a complaint. Finally she took one neighbor to her favorite police station and told them how to make a complaint. Took the police 9 months to get around to trying to contact me.
The station I attended and the sergeant who I dealt with and the Officer in charge all dealt with me in a very good manner. They only issued me with a notice to appear instead of formally arresting me and processing me through the watch house. I was very grateful for the help. They understood it was a technical breach only and as no damage had been reported and that neither the aggrieved or children were present they didn't fully understand why it was an issue.
I went to court and while it was only a technical breach and the magistrates first question to police prosecution was "it was 5 minutes, the aggrieved and children were not present and nothing was reported damaged or stolen, so why are we here...'
the police prosecutor just shrugged his shoulders.
So the magistrate reads through all his stuff and says to me that "while it is only a technical breach, in the current climate it would be remiss to not punish me in some way.."
what a crock, I had to be punished because the QPS is under manned.
The system is so broken and loaded.. God knows how same sex couples deal with this stuff..
