I've been involved in a protective order case where the Plaintiff presented no factual evidence against me because there was none. She claimed there was a previous PO, and there wasn't. She claimed abuse but never raised that in any counseling we've been involved in. She claimed I wasn't paying any bills in the house, but ignored that I was paying over half of my income for mortgages. In any case, I provided 60 pages of financial documents as well as texts showing that there was no abuse and by the way the emails are written it was evident that she lied throughout the hearing. She did put on a good job crying, but I think it was due to my daughter, 22 year old, who instigated the matter, we don't get along unless she needs money. In any case, the evidence I presented in court was ignored, the judge said "I'm not going to read through 60 pages of evidence. Pick two pages and I'll look at them." I think I can appeal the matter and considering he prejudiced my case by ignoring evidence he striped me of my Due Process Rights. I filed a motion to vacate, but he changed it and ruled it was a motion for a new trial, which is wrong as by rule, in Maine it is called exactly what I called it a Motion to Vacate. As part of the motion I asked that I be able to present the clinical records as well as records of family counseling we have been going to because of my daughter.
Any ideas on how to approach this? I'm thinking about filing a motion to recuse then filing another motion to vacate. I was not even allowed to take any winter clothes with me, I live in NH and was put out in April and we had two snow storms after being put out with only the clothes on my back, another shirt and another set of pants. All I could take was the sneakers I was wearing and not even a winter coat. I've repeatedly asked to get access to the house, but have been repeatedly denied.
I've had to give up my guns, even though no criminal case was brought. Any ideas/input is appreciated.
