God bless you. My partner has serious mental health & addiction issues. I understand if we can't be together, but I'm looking to help save his life. This video gave me some much needed piece of mind.
As a recovering addict, as someone working in an organization that helps people with substance abuse (for the last 5 years) and as someone who's currently in school for social service work I can tell you that you cannot "save" anyone. They have to want it. And they have to be willing to work hard for it every single day. All you can do as a loved one is gather information (and by that I don't mean for you to make it a full time job to call organizations all day every day) But once you provide information, then it's up to them.
A peace bond is a court order that contains terms and conditions binding the conduct of the person bound by it. Breaching the terms of the bond can result in additional criminal charges, and this may or may not include a no contact condition. Talk to your criminal lawyer for more information.
I thought removing the no-contact order would help my ex not get charged. So in a way we can cooperate to resolve the situation. But with research I've hear of a peace bond. And I think this is the easiest way to make sure he doesn't get charged. But it involves exactly the opposite of "resolving".
heyy I’m currently trying to get a no contact order removed but I don’t know how or what do do can you reply back and msg me about what I should know Bc this is really frustrating
@@vanessa-jy4so wait till the first court date. They may ask if you want to proceed with the charges. And if those charges are not that severe, then they may let you drop them.
What if the complainant don't want any charges or a no contact. A paper has never been sent to me or a court case. Only a sherrif said no contact no 3rd party no social media contact. Yet if I see her in public at a store more then likely I wouldn't be arrested.
I have been looking for the application for review on the quebec sites but i cant find them. I filed for legal aid over a week ago and have yet to get an answer for my admissibility. Court date is in 3 weeks and my gf is having a very hard time dealing with my no contact order. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
in your experience how long does it take on average for crown to vary a police undertaking? my partner was charged with assault and mischief. it's a first time and he has no criminal record.
Cases can be dismissed in a variety of ways. If there's a peace bond or other court order preventing contact between the parties, the person bound by the terms will need to return to court to get that amended. Hope this helps!
So my significant other was charged and plead guilty, he is currently serving jail time as of today 😞 he received 2 months and 3 yrs probation, with a no contact order. Throughout this whole process which started in March 2020 I have been asking the crown to remove the no contact order and now it has been extended by three years! I am absolutely frustrated that they have not taken my wishes into consideration. How can I fight this? We have been in each other’s lives for 30 years and I know that I want to talk to him and from what I am told he feels the same.
They might be balancing your 'wishes' against perceived risk for your safety. Their job is to save people's lives and enforce the law, not facilitate love relationships.
Great question, J! The law is the same but the local practice may be distinct. You'll want to consult with a criminal lawyer in your province. Good luck!
If you can respond to this. My boyfriend got a no contact order and I miss him alot... I'm 17 hes 23 theres been many times where police came to out place before and it was because of abuse.... I miss him so much I dont know what to do but cry and be alone his court date is next month in June. Should I wait to get the no contact order lifted? Can I even ask for that myself if u wasnt the one who got the order?
I’m in the same position. The victim can not get it lifted. You can give your consent to victim services that you want the no contact order lifted, but he has to go to the crown and fill out a variation form, and explain why he wants the no contact order lifted. And they will tell him in a few business days if they agree to it or not, and if they don’t it’ll go to trial.
@@DevonCristina hey im currently going through this and idk what to do im so confused on everything but I just want the no contact order lifted Can you reply and msg me to inform me Bc I’m really scared
It sounds like he's brainwashed you into thinking he's a wonderful guy that you can't live without, and that there is nothing wrong with him abusing you. You're only 17. What are the chances he's 'the one'? Seriously, I think take the chance now to leave him safely (ring your domestic abuse helpine).
I want help , my boyfriend used to blackmail and once had choked me , the day he got arrested he broke my phone and I was so depressed as it was my mid term exam that I called 911, it’s been 10 days now and he’s in custody , he’s very aggressive and immature I would say but I don’t want to ruin his situation and mine as I’m continuously feeling bad for him , that he’s in jail coz of me , I don’t want any future with him but I can’t live normally as long as someone is in jail coz of me, can anybody help me please
Hi Ayusha, it sounds like you could really use some support. We recommend you visit this link: www.ontario.ca/page/get-help-if-you-are-experiencing-violence. We also recommend contacting the Barbra Schlifer Clinic in Toronto: 416-323-9149.
They are a not for profit organization. Here is a blurb directly from their website: “The Clinic is a not-for-profit agency that provides free legal, interpretation and counselling services to women and gender diverse people of violence. The counselling department can provide confirmation of service delivery letters for counselling clients.” Wishing you the best of luck 🙏

What is a common law peace bond? I’m in a domestic violence case & i would love to know if there’s still no contact or is there contact?

I blocked my mother in law's phone number from calling my home phone because it rang out loud and she called every day at random times.
She bullied my wife, her daughter.
My wife and I argued about it, and my wife then filed for an order of protetion against me.
The judge kicked me out of my house for 1 year.
The 1 year is just about up.
What are the chances the court will continue the order of protection if my wife wants the court to do so?
Note: my mother in law and sister in law hate my guts.
