[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 578234, member: 6705"] We had a horrid time with custody. So from what I have been able to learn: 1) Apply for CPO/TRO - ASAP!! 2) File for emergency SOLE LEGAL custody based on need for CPO/TRO. 3) File for child support based on separation. 4) File for divorce. 5) File for food stamps, Medicaid, etc. Now - the CPO/TRO will most likely be granted [I]ex parte[/I] - without him there, and it will be in effect until a court date, usually 2-4 weeks later. He WILL be required to show up to the court date as will you. Witnesses to how he treats DS13 will help you immensely. Character witnesses IF the court allows them. DO NOT BLOW THIS OFF - if one of you does not show, the other automatically "wins". This is where you tell the court the kids ALL need to have a HEALTHY relationship with their father but based on his past actions you are requesting visits be supervised [I]by a neutral third party [/I]to start. (The person supervising must report to the court, so if he makes nasty comments to DS13... You get my drift.) You will HAVE to communicate with him, hon - the kids have a right to their father. So my suggestion is to do some research on websites that record this stuff for the court - such as ShareKids, ChildShare, OurFamilyWizard. Or via text. Do NOT cave in to his demands for ANYTHING. DS has flu and needs medications? If H won't deliver them nicely to, say, the MAILBOX, document it and if necessary call for a peace officer to supervise the exchange (UGH). :hugs: [/QUOTE]
