You should first file a police report for assault and battery. Then get a restraining order against her.
We already have a scheduled hearing for the first denied ex parte for his modification of child custody, so now he decided to file another one. We also correspond through a website and he's been harassing me there as well, making threats.

you need to call the officer that responded and press him to do something?
he can not get away from charges by leaving the premises
My question is, since they (the children) do not have a relationship with their fathers maternal grandparents, would it be violating the restraining order to contact them?
answered on Feb 7, 2018
a lawyer would have to see the wording on the RO........however if it is just dealing with your ex it should not apply to grandparents
answered on Feb 5, 2018
the RO is for him to stay away from her......however if she is the party taking the initiative to set up meeting i do not think there would be much of an issue.............
i would assume jail or prison does not know about RO anyway
It was a old case from 2014 he had a bench warrant and the judge ADJUDICATED the case. What does that mean
answered on Feb 4, 2018
if one is sentenced to 30 days in riverside county, you probably get double credit for the time in custody when arrested and the balance you would do 1/2 time under 4019 if the crime qualified.
however if he did not appear or comply with every condition of probation a bench warrant would... View More

yes, the DV charge could help you but a lawyer has to learn all the facts.
you should talk to a local lawyer that practices in that court.
My ex husband got beat up & I got accused of doing it & kidnapping my kids when he let me take them .
answered on Feb 4, 2018
a lawyer needs a lot more info
retain a local lawyer in your city to revisit the issues with the DA.........
if that doesn't work contact your congressman to get their assistance
Will that forbide her from getting citizenship?
answered on Jan 31, 2018
she has not convictions so it should not be a factor.......but share that with the lawyer that is going to help you with your immigration.
answered on Jan 30, 2018
if it is criminal you would be appointed a public defender
for civil you would either contact some kind of legal aid in the city/county or maybe get lucky with a lawyer willing to do Pro Bono work.
good luck
She read she can take anger management class throught vicTim witness program to help my case. Is this true?

IF YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE CHARGED AND WIFE IS VICTIM THEN THE PUBLIC DEFENDER WILL DEFEND YOU.

if you were married he can not put you on street like that....but that is not domestic terrorism or violence in my opinion.
you should be able to have police accompany you to return to home.
divorce papers would have to be filed to get you out legally.
try to contact legal aid
