My ex husband of 2 weeks took out a protective order on me and I couldtn have any communication with him or my two little girls for 30 days until our court date. It specifically states in the TPO that neither party can sell get rid of or damage any items within the home , you cant even cut off utilities or cancel health or life insurance. He is in contempt of the Protective order and I would seek counsil to assist you with that. Im so sorry your going through this my ex put an order on me just bc i asked for a divorce. when we went to court today I consented to keep the TPO in place for one year on him so that I didnt have to communicate with him in any way shape or form for one year, but i still get to see my girls. Good luck , I did have an attorney adn would be more than happy to share any advise she gave me to help you.
