Gather Evidence – Maintain proof of innocence, including messages, emails, or witnesses.
Legal Representation – Hire an experienced lawyer to defend against wrongful charges.
File a Counter-Case – If accusations are false, legal action can be taken against the complainant.
Challenge Protection Orders – Unfair restraining orders can be legally contested.
