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. Here is the entire thread, (I screenshot everything to protect myself) ********************* Hi Pete. I had a neighbor file a completely false PPO against me, which was granted ex parte. I already filed a motion to…
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?
