Ex parte ppo motion to terminate/service/possible ppo violation | Aug 17, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: rural small town michigan. This crazy lady fraudulently filed a PPO against me. I filed a motion to terminate. I can prove(video, witnesses, police subpoenas, screenshots, and FOIA'd email threads) that almost everything she claimed is a lie. There are a few things I cant prove, but she cannot prove I did(claims I hacked her fb to post fake records about ME[yes, she claims I posted fake criminal records of myself on her Facebook to be able to then screenshot it and post to my account to humiliate her- fyi record claims I have a history as a convicted pedo but I have 0 record]) because I definitely didnt access her FB in any way nor did anyone do it on my behalf. They granted her the PPO exparte- she used every trigger word possible "harm me and my kids, threatening, mean glares, scared, hateful, hate speech etc". Now, law is I have to serve her without violating my PPO. I asked the clerk how to do it, and they sent me to Michigan Legal Aide website- live chat between 11am and 2pm. I chatted with someone and specifically stated that I need to know how to serve without violating, and they walked me through it. Certified letter, return receipt, restricted to addressee.

D.U.I. then moved house | Aug 5, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Tennessee Thanksgiving of 2019. Southeast Michigan. Blew a .09 and got charged with my third DUI. The police said if I didn't submit to all their tests something was going to happen so I blew in this bigger machine at the station. They said since it's my third one that becomes a felony. I didn't want to become a felon so I just didn't go to court. Then I got scared so I tried to turn myself in but they said I went to the wrong place. So I just left and went to another state. Eventually got clean I'm 3 years sober with regular urine tests to prove it. I'm renting a place in a different state and I have a job and I want to take care of this. If I show up and they throw me in jail then there goes my job and I'll be homeless again so how should I go about this?
