Q: Need help making sure my babys grandma stays away from us. She had violently attacked me as I️ had her in my arms
Also began to grab my baby says she was going to take her to spend time with her as I️ said no. In the car. Previous to that incident she had already came at me one night very late and kicked us out middle of night And tried fighting me and came so close to me I️ had to push her away as I️ ran to my baby’s crib. She had theeanted me to hit me next time she sees me and two months later she tells her son(my fiancé) if we keep the baby away from her she’s going to do meditation. I️ had already reported it to police but they said to do restraining order but I️ need a lot of prove to show judge to see.
A: You need to request a Civil Harassment Restraining Order and/or your fiance can file a Domestic Violence Restraining order. With the information that you have placed in your inquiry it definitely sounds like you have sufficient evidence of a credible threat and therefore enough to have a temporary restraining order granted protecting you and your family from the on-going violence. You just need to make sure that your declaration and moving papers are extremely thorough and explain each time she has been threatening and/or violent. If you need any assistance and this is going to be filed in California, please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
