Q: My husband and I are going through a divorce we have court order documents for visitation but which is the regular SPO.
He has SPO orders but he lives with his sister who does not have a job and they are being taken care of by her boyfriend. The house has 2 bedrooms but there are 5 people in the house. 2 boys sleep in one bedroom and his sister and boyfriend sleep in the other. My husband sleeps in a pullout couch in the living room. He also, does not have a job so asks me to feed the girls before I they go with him. He recently got a DWI-B in Texas where we live. Can I out of fear for my children’s safety ask him to meet me somewhere to spend time with our daughters instead of allowing him to drive them around? I have had to contact CPS before because I caught him driving while drunk with our daughters in the car. I’m in the process to modify visitation orders to only have them during the day light hours and for sole custody due to the DWI-B. How can I protect my girls for now?
A: One solution is to ask court for a temporary restraining order to prevent visitation until a hearing is held on your modification.
