You'll have a full hearing on this, usually 14 days after service of the Ex-Parte Order. Don't miss it, do take your witnesses and any documentation of her prior instances of domestic violence. Most of these hearings are informal but consider taking an attorney along too.

Don't stipulate to anything unless and until fully you understand the consequences of each stipulation. If you're not careful you'll wind up with a full order of protection against you- which was 'agreed to by the parties'.
