Reading: I filed a domestic violence case against my in-laws. They initially ignored the summons, and even after the court tried sending it to different addresses, they didn’t respond or appear. The court eventually issued an order, but they finally showed up. I’m unsure what the next step will be, as the case status has been showing “order ready” for the past two days. Should I be worried? I’m also unsure about my lawyer because my in-laws contacted him to settle the case, and I’m seeking financial compensation as I’m still jobless and studying. What should I do?

The “order ready” status likely means the court will pronounce the order in your favor as your in-laws failed to respond. However, you should consult your lawyer about this as they can clarify the situation and advise on the next steps. While your in-laws’ attempt to settle with your lawyer is a positive sign, it’s crucial to keep your own objectives in mind, including the financial compensation you seek, and ensure your lawyer is advocating for your best interests.
