Although I do not practice law in the State of Michigan, it sounds like, based upon the facts that you have provided, that the Judge has either issued a protective order, which prevents you from entering your home, or made that a condition of your bond, or both. It is very important that you abide by any conditions/orders that the Judge has set forth. An attorney may be able to file a motion (or motions) to request the Judge to modify or otherwise reconsider the current orders and/or conditions of bond, especially if you are able to demonstrate a valid self-defense claim. Moreover, given the potential severity of these charges (and the fact that they could potentially have a long-standing effect on your access to your children) in addition to your short-term need to reenter your home, I highly recommend that you consult with and/or retain a criminal defense attorney with respect to this matter in the interest of obtaining the most favorable result possible.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
