I filed an order of protection against my abusive ex boyfriend. He hired a lawyer to fight it but his lawyer did not show up to court because he had a trial. They told me that we should just get a mutual order of protection since the lawyer did not show up. I refused because I do not want this on my criminal record since I work in the health industry. I thought mutual orders of protection were prohibited in Illinois. Now we have a court scheduled in two months. I am really scared. Do you think he can deny all the abuse and turn the situation around?
The evidence I have is a few txt msgs and pictures and medical reports of my broken finger and a police report. But he could easily lie and say I broke my finger doing sports or something
