My fiance’s ex is telling people she has a restraining order against him. She lives in Maine and he lives in Washington. Is this possible? Or is it a bunch of made up crap? Thanks!

my husband is looking to file for divorce and go for full custody on our two young children. I work full time and watches them during the day, after that Its pretty much me watching them. He doesn’t work, he got injured a few years ago at work and was let go but never qualifed for disability so we are living off my income. He wants me to be removed from the property, we rent the house from my inlaws, and he is seeking to and considering putting a restraining order out on me saying im an unfit mother. I’m not unfit, I love my children very much, I dont drink, smoke, do drugs, I dont hit, hurt, or harm them. Yes like everyone out there, we make dumb choices and decsions and kids do fall, trip, get bumps and bruises but i’m not unfit. He said he has 4 years of evidence and witnesses saying otherwise. I tend to think he’s just scaring me but I dont know, i’ve been an emotional wreck over all of this. I dont want to lose my children! He;s making my life hell right now and I dont want to just up and leave and take the kids because isn’t that kidnapping them? Im scared he’s going to do something to me. He got so mad yesterday…my son was playing with the garage door remote and I didnt know he actually opened the door I went to bed and my husband went out to walk the dog and saw it was opened. he left a note to me saying that I will be paying a huge price for this and threatened that one day i’ll come home from work and see that him and the kids are gone, or he’s going to trash the crap out of everything I own. He’s making me a prisioner in the house. I have to walk outside and around the house to enter into the kitchen, he uses my purse as his garbage can, he dumbed ice cubes in my purse yesterday and took all my underwear and stuck it in a tuperware bowl with water in it. He’s doing such silly childish things. He did email an attorney and is likely going this week to file. WHat do I do? I’m scaredd if I try to go file first, hell will be paid. I mean what if he’s been bluffing this whole time? He’s threatened divorce numbers or times before and yet we stayed together for 5 and 1/2 years. Can I still see an attorney and document everything and tell them to hold off on filing till then he does? I should be allowed a counter agreement or something right? Thanks

This is based on another question I answered. If your mother is an alcoholic, can you file a restraining order against her if she refuses to keep away from your baby?
In the United States.

There is one person in my life who is actually pushing me to suicide. I want to put a restraining order on them, so how do I do it and I need to know if there is an age limit to get one?

Also, what kind of reasons do you have to have to make a restraining order? And, where do you go to make a restraining order? Thanks for answering!

My Mother has been and still is Harassing Me, My Family and My Bf. She sends emails and leaves messages. I have blocked her from calling me and I don’t return any of her emails.I need to know how to get a restraining order to keep her away and to stop her from contacting Us. What do I need to get this order, can I file for it myself and how much might it cost, any ideas? Thank You for any help you can provide in this situation.

Are there any problems afterwards if you lie to get a restraining order against someone, or do the courts ignore it? Where do you report it if you know someone lied in court? Is it different if it is not your own case, but you know that someone lied in a case?

What signs would be red flags for seeking a restraining order? And in your experience do restraining orders work?

I’ve already filed the restraining order and it’s been served. What are good tips to know when I go to court? Also, my ex and I have children together. In the restraining order I did not put the abuse/neglect he has shown my children because it did not specifically tell me to add info about the kids. Is there a way that I can bring my documentation to court at the time of the hearing?
