wife mom has an order of protection

[jfgarner4]

Tennessee My pregnant wife is due at the beginning of the year and her mom said she will be at the hospital when she is in labor. I will also be there since its my wife and my daughter that being born. What can her mom say or do that could put me up for jail time. The whole order is based on lies and wasn't true. She told the court that she was in fear of her life that i was going to hurt her or her grandchildren.
Should i let her be there or have my wife say no to her mother

Not your decision. At all. Ever. Even if.

If your wife's mom is there, then you can't be there. If your wife doesn't want her there, then your wife needs to make that clear to the hospital. It's really out of your hands...

Much more succinct than mine.

If you violate the order yes. If she shows up where you already are and have every right to be, then its less likely that the police would arrest you. The simple way to make sure that doesn't happen, is for you and your wife to keep quiet about the baby being born until you are home from the hospital. However, again, your wife would have to instruct the hospital not to give out any information to anyone who contacts them.

Let's run this through the old brain-game...

You call the cops because she's there. Cops come. She says "I have an order of protection, he's not supposed to be within (xxx) feet of me." Cops ask her to leave, she says "no". Cops ask you to leave, you say "no". Who's going to jail?

Seriously, tell your wife to tell her mom to stay away. If she won't, then you may want to stay away.

As long as you don't break the restraining order or any other laws, you can call whoever you want. Including Santa, the ToothFairy & The Stork.

Dad, please answer a couple of questions....

Are you and your wife still together?
Are you and your wife on the same page with you being there rather than her mother?

If the answer to either of those questions is no, then you have a problem.

If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then your wife needs to make it clear to her mother that she is not welcome.

One would hope your wife would put you before her mother and keep her out of the loop.
