What is the name of your state? Indiana
I am asking this question on behalf of my niece who does not have internet access.
She is currently in the middle of a divorce and as of now has custodial rights of the 2 children. Her soon to be ex has visitation every other weekend and 4 hours through the week. 3 days ago he pushed his way into my sisters house (where my niece and great nephews now live) This was late at night and the kids were asleep (thank god) Anyway he was drunk and shoved his way into the house and pushed her around and slapped her. The police were called and she filed a restraining order against him which states he is not allowed to come around her, the kids, or my sister until a specified court date which is next month. Well on his visitation day he came to pick up the kids for his allotted time and she told him he could not have them and that he was under a restraining order (apparently he had not been served yet) He contacted his lawyer and she received a call from her lawyer that she was in contempt of court because she did not let him have them. The lawyer told her that the restraining order is not worth the paper it is wrote on because of the visitation agreement and also because the divorce was filed in one county and the restraining order in another county.
She has had a lot of trouble with her lawyer and has not had any luck locating one that would take her case.
I am really becoming concerned for the welfare of the children and am worried what may happen to them if their father gains custody of them. I love those kids and want what is best for them and I don't believe their father gaining custody of them is for the best.
In any case I would really appreciate any and all advice on the subject I can get so I can relay it to her.
Thank You,
