My response:

She can do this to you - - if you all lived on Mars or Venus.

But, since you live in Indiana, she doesn't know what she's talking about. We all, under the Federal Constitution, have the right to associate with whomever we choose; ergo, she can't restrain her husband from seeing or being with you.

IAAL is correct, as usual. ;-)

She could get a restraining order to keep you away from HER. But she can't get a restraining order to keep you from him.

Fortunately, as IAAL pointed out, in the United States, we adults can associate with whomever we like.
