You need a clarification from the Judge who issued the order. The Court can list certain exceptions.

Read the Injunction for Protection very carefully, there is usually an exception if you life closer than 500 ft. Make sure this issue is addressed when you get the the hearing to make the temporary injunction permanent. It is highly recommended you consult and retain a qualified family law attorney who deals with domestic violence injunctions protection to represent you at the final hearing. A permanent domestic or repeat violence injunction affects your right to bear firearms. You can find highly rated attorneys using the "Find a Lawyer" tab on .

You need to read your injunction carefully. If it says you cannot be within 500 feet of his house and your house is only 250 feet away, you cannot go home until the temporary injunction is changed. If the return hearing on the temporary injunction is not scheduled in the next day or two, you can go down to the clerks office and file any emergency motion to modify the temporary injunction. In your emergency motion, explain that you live within 500 feet of the petitioner's home and ask that the injunction be modified to include only his property. At least then you will be able to live in your house until the return hearing, where you will have an opportunity to defend yourself. Your best bet is to consult with a lawyer (most give free initial consultation) who can get all the facts and give you advice.
