What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Hello,
I recently just filed child support for my 2 children. I'm waiting to receive an appointment. Yesterday, I started receiving threatening texts from my ex, (he got upset i put him on child support) they were pretty much death threats, and then said if i ever brought up the non-sense he was texting me, which were all insults and threats, he's pretty much cut my head off. I left him about 2 years ago, he didn't leave quietly. He damaged my property and I called the cops and filed a police report. We have a long history of domestic violence, its not the first time he verbally or physically abused me. That was not the only time i called the cops on him. He's been to jail once years ago for putting his hands on me.
Should I go ahead and file a restraining order against him for the threats he has recently made? Will this affect me at when i try to go for full custody of my children? Do I need a lawyer?
Thanks in advance.
