What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
As some of you know, last month I filed for a restraining order against my ex-husband's wife because of her online harassment of me, previous harassment towards me and videotaping me. The restraining order was not granted because I did not have the IP addresses of her postings and I did not have video
of her videotaping me...both her and ex straightfaced lied and said no videotaping had happened.
Since the hearing Skeletor has not attended the child custody exchanges. I thought this meant she had finally realized what she was doing was not productive.
Friday I was served with paperwork, she filed for a restraining order against me. She cites that I have been to her house in 2005 taking pictures. I was but that was for the custody case (not her) and I never left my vehicle or interacted with anyone. She cites I went to her house to drop off my son. I think that was in 06 or 07, but that was a miscommunication between dad and I- again- nothing to do with her. Then she states that I have tried to get her in trouble with the police and with the DA. I turned her defamatory internet postings into to the police who attempted to issue a ticket for disorderly conduct and then because of the way a statute is written had to turn the case over to the DA.
She says she is scared that once I run out of legal options to harass her that she is afraid for her safety.
Obviously, this is a retaliatory filing- she basically took the wording from my ro petition and tweeked it to suit her.
Is this common for people to do this for retaliation? Do the judges see it as such?
I am thinking I will ask the judge to dismiss it with prejudice and order her to reimburse me for lost wages and travel. Is there a better way I can handle this?
