You may hire a lawyer in one state, even if you live in another. You really should since you appear to be subject to a restraining order which may be controlling over your parenting rights until you can get an order more specifically setting out those rights.

There is no form for this. You can certainly submit a letter to the Court asking for the DANCO to be modified or cancelled. The decision of whether that occurs is ultimately up to the judge who is assigned to handle the case. It is unlikely that the DANCO will be modified or cancelled if the... Read more »

From your question one cannot tell if the person with whom you disagree is actually an officer of the court. It looks like it might be a deputy clerk of courts, which is a little different. I recommend finding out from the clerk of court's website whether the information you are seeking is... Read more »

If there is domestic violence and an ongoing threat, you should seek a protective order, which is a separate case altogether. If you were served with paperwork for a pending case, and... Read more »
