Write your plan down, including a list of the facts you want to tell the judge, and bring it with you to court. It is not necessary, to have an attorney to get a restraining order. Your story of what the defendant did is powerful evidence. Violating a restraining order is a crime in Colorado. This will start the criminal process.
Probable cause means that a reasonable person reasonably believes that a crime has been committed.
This documents what happened and can be helpful later. If the police and prosecutor decide not to file charges, you can file a motion for contempt with the court that issued your restraining order. You and the defendant cannot agree to change the PRO without the court's permission. If you want to change the PRO, you will need to have a hearing. During the hearing, the judge will hear from both you and the defendant to determine whether changes should be made.
