Me and my boyfriend got into an argument over the phone and we broke up almost a month ago. My dad really hates my ex boyfriend. My family believes he’s controlling and verbally abused. My dad all ways tells me he wants me to break up with him and how he wants to fight him. My boyfriend also hears my dad say all this when I’m on the phone with my dad or when I’m with my dad and I’m FaceTimeing my boyfriend. Also one day 2 years ago my did pull up to his job and they fought physically him.My dad threw the first punch.My boyfriend have always told me that he hated that my dad did that and his place of work. (Me and my ex work together and my dad was picking me up).
So a month ago when my exboyfriend and I got into an argument we broke up and he started threatening my dad like how he wants to fight him. My boyfriend was super angry. When we got into an argument I was up for 24 hours and didn’t get much sleep. Coming home from a 5 hour plane ride. I panic and told my parents. My parents called the cops and my parents made me get a TPO. I was getting yelled at and told I didn’t care about the family. And how he would hurt me. So my parents made me get a TPO and it was granted, but now I was to cancel it/ get it removed. What would be all the steps to do so? Location: Nevada, USA

The “T” means “Temporary”.
There should be a hearing scheduled in about two weeks, where you have the opportunity to show up and tell the court why you think the order should be made “permanent”.
One option is not to show up. The court will allow the order to expire.
Another option is to show up and tell the court the truth: you were fatigued and emotional and were encouraged to exaggerate by your family. Tell the court that you no longer believe the order is necessary. The court will allow the order to expire.
You won’t get in trouble for lying or exaggerating. Your parents won’t get in trouble for being overbearing.
The only way that your boyfriend can get in trouble is by breaking the conditions of the TPO. His only legal option is to not communicate with you for two weeks.
If that costs him his job, then that’s a consequence of your relationship history and the choices you and he have made.
