Chapter 9 - Filing For An Emergency Restraining Order In County Court
Early the following morning, Daniel met with his family lawyer, Marcus Vance, at the Franklin County Hall of Justice in downtown Columbus. Marcus reviewed the security camera video footage, medical reports, and gambling debt records with an experienced legal eye.
"We are filing for an immediate permanent protection order and a full restraining order against your mother," Marcus advised, drafting the legal paperwork. "Given the video evidence of the staircase push, the judge will sign this emergency order within the hour."

The county judge signed the protective order immediately, prohibiting Martha from coming within five hundred feet of Daniel, Emma, their home, or their future child. Any violation of the court order would result in immediate arrest and forfeiture of her bail terms.
Marcus also filed a formal notice with the county recorder’s office, locking the title deed to the Elm Street property to prevent any unauthorized land transfers. The legal wall surrounding Emma and Daniel’s family was now complete and unshakeable.
