Milan, MI asked in Domestic Violence and Family Law for Michigan

Q: I was a vicitm of domestic violence over the weekend with my ex husband with the children, what do i do to protect them?

I dont think they are safe with him, i have a ppo against him, but the terms of custody are set up loosely and he was released from jail, went to their school, pulled them out of class early and snuck them out while i was waiting in line to pick them up.

No one knows how to help me get them out if this situation.

My kids and I were all scared and crying during and after the domestic occurence

A: Sounds like you did the right thing to get a PPO. Now, you should talk with a local attorney to see about an ex parte order regarding custody and parenting time.
