Help in California Plz
My husband has 3 daughters and 3 BM's. The first child is 17 and the second 8 the third 5....When me and my husband got married it was hell for them because he never married them....the last BM got into contact with the first and second BM's and made it seem like because my husband respects me that I am controlling him in some way to not go to their house anymore or have personal conversations with them. This is not true, everything he does he does cause he made that decision. The last BM has gotten the 2nd BM to not allow him to see his daughter unless he goes to her house by him self and has private time with her and daughter. He refuses and now has to go to court, the problem with that is that he has gone to the court about 5 times and almost lost his job because its an all day event to go an file paper work. It seems that no matter how many times he files it, its wrong :(....also he wants a restraining order on the second BM because she continues to contact his oldest daughter and bashes him to her resulting in the daughter hating him. She continues to contact the 2nd BM and does the same...she is the problem for all the problems he has with his kids and its starting to affect our marriage because she has also gotten the kids to bash me on FB, Twitter and so on. He has joint custody of the 2nd daughter and still has to pay child support for her because the mom is job less and lives with a hole bunch of people. He pays a lot of child support for all 3 kids, we dont mind but he should be able to see them as a result....not allow these women to determine if he can or cant because he wont "hang out with them" anymore...My question is can he get a restraining order on the second BM to leave his kids alone and their moms because of the conflict she keeps causing for him? What does he do to stop all this?
Oh and I forgot to say that
Oh and I forgot to say that the second BM also took the child out of state with out his permission and refused to let him see his daughter on his week on fathers day also....that is assigned to him by court order...how do we stop her from doing this???
Thank you, Yes it is in the
Thank you, Yes it is in the court order that the parent can not take the child out of state and that the schedule weeks are already set up...its all in the court order and she refuses to go by it...she was event told personally by the judge to "stay with in her bubble and leave his other kids alone" its like she thinks she is above it all.....How do we file for contempt of court order if you dont mind me asking? We have filed police reports on each thing also.
I filed a contemp request
I filed a contemp request when my ex refused contact.
I went to her home at the day and time appointed in the order with a disinterested witness in tow who did nothing but observe.
When she answered I said I was here for the kids - she said no and after a few more words slammed the door.
I got the paperwork straight by pulling a file on another similar case who used an attorney and basically copied his work using it as an example.
I then looked up at the law library what defenses my ex's attorney might be able to bring up and got the citations to use against her. It worked and the judge shook his finger at her and said "jail next time". That was the end of that.
But I'm a well read college graduate and things have gotten more complicated since then so it may be too difficult now.
You might want to have an attorney write a threatening letter explaining the possible civil and criminal consequences.
