Default order of protection

Good morning I have a question on order of protections.
My brother's girlfriend filed an order of protection against him. His girlfriend gave false information on petition. He has documented proof that information was false.
My question is..
Since she purposely gave false information will order be granted?

No one can predict that. "Proof" isn't required to get an order for protection - typically the petitioner only needs to convince the court that they are reasonably in fear of the respondent. It comes down to whether the judge feels that there is a basis for that fear or not. Even just testimony of yelling, threats, throwing things, and lots of other actions that don't ever have "proof" are often enough to get the order issued.

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.

Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html and http://resources.lawinfo.com/en/index.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.
