Question:

I have a restraining order against me that says I am to have no contact with my ex-wife, so how does this affect my parenting time with my children?

There is a parenting plan in place with specific times for me to see my children, but our visitation exchange is supposed to take place at my ex-wife’s workplace.

How can I exercise parenting time and pick up my kids from my ex-wife if I am court-ordered to have no contact with her?

Question:

I recently had a Restraining Order placed against me, which excluded me from the marital home, but I have completed it and want to move back into the house.

My wife says she is not ready for me to move back in, and if I do, she will move out with the kids.

What rights do I have to move back into the marital home since I no longer have an order of protection entered against me?

Question:

I need some marriage separation advice on how to protect my personal property during a divorce.

After I asked my wife for a separation, she served me with a restraining order prohibiting me from entering the marital home. Later at court, I was granted access to the home in order to collect my personal property but everything I owned was gone.

How can I be compensated for this loss of property due to the restraining order?

Question: My wife has been staying at her mom’s house for the last week now. 

I learned today that she is planning on filing a Restraining Order/Order of Protection against me first thing Monday all because I started asking to see our 1-year-old daughter, which she didn’t allow.  This is a surprise because we have only discussed setting up counseling until this point. 

What benefit do I have to try and submit a restraining order on her before she can do it to me, and/or should I?
