Q: Can I (68 yrs) get a restraining order against my son who lives with me after I added his name to the title of my house
To begin with I went to a paralegal some years ago intending to leave my house to my son after my passing. But recently, I came to find out, that his name was added to the title of ownership instead. The paralegal whom I went with then for assistance is no longer around. At that time my son was a good son but since then he has become very abusive verbally, mentally, and has threatened me physically
A: You can absolutely get a restraining order against your son. But you should know, if it is granted. you might be making your son homeless. If you get a stay away order, then your son won't be able to live in his own home--it happens all the time with domestic violence criminal protective orders.
