Being that those kids are of school age, if they talk to counselors at school, the counselors have to report the abuse. They have no choice. Or when the abuse happens, the kids need to dial 911. Once the abuse is reported, then someone will come to the house to see whats going on there, and then they will decide if the kids are in danger. If they are, they will find the kids a safe place to live, possibly with the father.
Nothing. Not very helpful or necessarily true.
no
Unfortunately, no. But, why do you have the children? The order should have included custody and protection of the children. Mothers who are abusive toward the father of their children account for 55% of all fatal child abuse.
The answer to your questions depends on several factors: 1. What state do you live? 2. Is the restraining order against your ex-spouse/significant other or your children? In California, for example, if you have a restraining order against the other parent of your children, you may still be able to contact the children. However, if the restraining order is against both, the other parent of your children and your children, then you should not have any sort of communication (including facebook and other social media platforms) with either.
Yes
Absolutely. Do it immediately. The only thing he can do is sue you for custody, and if you can prove that he was/is abusive, he will not get it. You can also try to get a restraining order put on him. Do this immediately. Call the police right away. Do not wait, it only gets worse. Do it for your children.
As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.
Well your gunna have to think, who comes first? Your children or your boyfriend?
You can make a request that the court give him a drug test.
Ultimately, the decision to obtain a restraining order lies with the individual who is seeking it. However, it is important to prioritize the safety and well-being of both yourself and any children involved. If Child Protective Services (CPS) is involved and has concerns regarding the relationship, it may be advisable to follow their recommendations or seek guidance from a legal professional.
In Illinois, if a court finds that the visits would be in the best interests of the child, then yes.
No evidence is necessary for a temporary restraining order. What happens is when you go into court and get a restraining order they give a temporary restraining order until trial. You can then push the date back a few times and extend it. Some people would argue this is how you get custody of children in a divorce situation. For a long term restraining order you will need documented cases of abuse.
