Q: My ex husband does not want my girlfriend around the kids the judge asked for no contact between my kids and my
Girlfriend because I had no place to live so he got everything granted to him my girlfriend has a restraining order against him because he use to harras her. So now that I have a place and me and my girlfriend live together we both pay rent he knows and he wants me to have the kids Every other weekend and he got my children to tell them when my girlfriend is around and he is using it against me saying I broke the order and wants her to be away. But how can I tell my children they have to stay away from someone who does nothing to harm them or hurt them in any way. They're attached to her and ask for her every time they come over I don't think it's fair for them to feel like this and he says I force them to be around her when they love her and he claims they hate her but he hates her not them What can I do I have court again for this same reason
A: You may want to file a motion for reconsideration. You should seek a consultation with a local family lawyer, and it may be worth it to see if a lawyer will represent you on a limited scope attorney instead of a fully retained basis if you can't afford it. Following a court order is important and should be complied with until it is changed. If the judge requires certain things to occur before an order can be changed, definitely consider what needs to be done. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis.
A:
If there's an order forbidding contact between your children and your girlfriend, you'll have to abide by that, unless there's still time to appeal it.
