Q: what can I do to see my children if other parent has a protection order?
we have a court order custody agreement but I can not contact him or the kids. he has had me put in jail twice. I recently filed a motion to amend our custody agreement and we have court Aug 20th 2020. I was hoping I could get some assistance as I was a stay at home mom for 8 years and right now have no income.
A:
It is not clear if you were ordered to not contact the children as a result of the protective order. If so, the protective order would prevent visitation. However, if the protective order only involves no contact with him, you will need to arrange visitation exchange by third party. Since you have a pending hearing, it is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible who can assist you with the specifics of your case.
We wish you well.

A: It sounds as though you are already working toward addressing this, because you have a court date set. It would help if you were working with an attorney. If you cannot afford one, contact Legal Aid to see if you can get assistance, or call the state bar to see if there are any pro bono attorneys in your area. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
