Q: There is a restraining order in place against the father of my child for my protection.
Restraining order was put in place during the time I was pregnant. Do I have full custody then?
A:
need more info
however only a court orders custody.
i you have to make arrangements for him to see the child you would use a third party........some call police to meet at a place (keep the peace) to turn over the child.
you need to consult with a family law attorney, i handle accidents and dui in palm springs
A:
Is it a criminal protective order (CPO) or a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO)?
Most likely not, the order would specifically list protected third parties, and if the child wasn't yet born, s/he probably isn't on the order. If a DVRO, you can go to court and ask for a modification. If a CPO, you'll need to go to the DA handling your case to request that they go to court to modify for you.
