Alberta > Protection Against Family Violence Act:

My son-in-law says there is no way he is going to put up with an emergency protection order not allowing him in his own house. He says he is going to go to court to get the order taken off. Can he do this?

Your son-in-law can attend before the Queen's Bench judge when the emergency protection order is scheduled for review and give evidence to the court as to why the order should be revoked. You can also attend and give evidence as to why an order should continue.

The only other way that the emergency protection order could be discontinued before the review by the Queen's Bench would be if you and your son-in-law both agreed to an order to stop the emergency protection order. It might then be possible to apply to have the matter dealt with earlier than the given date.
