What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
My wife recently put a no contact order on me. We had an argument, My parents got involved ( we live with them) she got violent (throwing things, cussing and pushed me out of the way) she wanted to leave, I begged her to stay. My parents called the police. This was on saturday 11/29. on monday, the police show up with a order for protection and take my daughter. She lawyered up. She says that I'm suicidal, mental unstable and that on one circumstance, i physically abused our infant daughter. I haven't done any of this. It went to court and I had to fight for joint custody of our child. She showed up at court with a lawyer from the local legal aide (man haters) and a lady from womens advocacy group (also man haters) I got it to go from an OFP to a no contact order, so I could get a job (currently unemployed). She has not mentioned divorce. I told my attorney to tell hers during negotiations that I didn't want divorce and that I love her very much. I do love her with all of my heart and I'm a mess without her. she means the world to me. Anyway, the no contact order is set for a year. I want to know if there is anything I can do to petition to get this dropped or if there is anyway I can legally contact her. If we don't communicate, how is anything going to get fixed? I'm planning on attending counseling, just to see if i can find out what went wrong and to help with the emotional distress of my wife leaving me. The judge seemed like a very nice guy, the couple who had their trial before us had OFP's against each other and didn't have lawyers, he suggested they tried to talk it out.
Thank you and a speedy reply would be appreciated,
