Case Notes



 



  Pursuant to this chapter, absent special circumstances, the
family court should not be involved in any stage of the prosecution of an
allegation of a knowing or intentional violation of a protective order by an
adult person, including the stage where the allegations are referred to the
police or the prosecutor, other than to simply advise interested parties that
the proper place to present such allegations is to the police or the
prosecutor, not to the family court.  99 H. 363 (App.), 55 P.3d 856.
