A: You really need to see an attorney to have them interpret the restraining order to make sure that this is OK. You will go to jail if you violate the restraining order. One thing is clear, you can't be alone with your daughter so that could be tricky if you moves in and your parents are there all the time. I would talk to an attorney and you might need to file a motion to modify the restraining order. The better thing to do would be to file for custody of your daughter as part of getting divorced.
