Can I file a Restraining Order too? To protect my daughter and I from the Stalking?
You can always file for a restraining order, but it would appear you would need a lot more to obtain one. I am not sure what you mean by he's "stealing her pictures through a fake profile." If you are indicating he is merely copying pictures of his child from your profile, that will probably not... Read more »
The lady took pictures of my license plate. There's a police investigator that wants to talk to me
MORE INFO NEEDED.
HOWEVER, YOU PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSING THIS ON AN OPEN FORUM.
IT MAY BE SIMILAR TO A DRIVER IN A BANK ROBBERY........DEPENDING ON THE FACTS.
Hearings are open to the public unless it is a confidential case, such as an adoption, paternity, CFS, etc. For those type of cases they normally close the courtroom. Other than that you should be able to attend.
Just issued a RO against ex boyfriend who verbally, physically, and psychologically abused me, using my supposed cheating as reason why he treated me in abusive manner. Was granted temporary RO and now completing forms for permanent. While we were together, I'd placed a recording device in his... Read more »
Shouldn't have done that. At this point you just need to see if he brings it up and hope he doesn't. But if he does you need to get representation right away, and not discuss this matter with anyone else until you do, because the ramifications of this can be far reaching.
I have a letter from the sheriff's office stating it was only a detention

On QUESTION 5A (Description of Protect Person) of form EA-100 it asks if the person SEEKING a restraining order "is 65 or older and a resident of California".
In this scenario, the person whom the protection is AGAINST (in QUESTION 2) lives in CALIFORNIA; however, the person SEEKING... Read more »
Your question isn't quite clear.
If the victim (protected person) is in California then that is good and the questions are mostly about them.
Are you saying that the person requesting an order to protect our California elder is in NV? That is OK then, but you have to file where... Read more »

I pay vet bills/ buy food, etc. and on all documents at the vet l am listed as owner. Can he call police and force me to give him the dog? She is used as my ESA. I have a note from my doc stating she helps me with my anxiety. He claims l can go back if l get rid of my other dog and give him back... Read more »
The police likely won't get involved in what appears to be a civil dispute over ownership to property. If he wants the dog back, he could report it stolen. He can sue you in Small Claims for the value of the dog or its return, if he can prove ownership. The fact that you use the dog as your ESA... Read more »

Child support and visitation rights are separate issues even though you can file for them together in the same pleadings. If he is on the birth certificate than you would want to file a Petition for Custody and Support. At the same time you should file a Request for Orders which will set out to... Read more »
We told the attorney but during the trial he told the judge that we want 5 years and we thought once that is granted what we stated on the application for restraining order will be granted.

the person to ask re the other side paying your legal fees would be your lawyer who has all of the info in front of him/her.

go to the courthouse involved and inquire,
maybe google legal aid
We got our restraining order and judge granted and on the form we had asked that attorney fee paid by the other respondent.
How could we get the respondent pay the attorney fees? we had a trial and now we have to pay for extra fee.
Actually, the statutes that provide for restraining orders (civil harassment and domestic violence) provide a provision for the payment of attorneys fees. From your question it does not appear this is a contract action which the prior answer deals with.
If properly plead the court can... Read more »

Fast forward....my son's possible biological parent then staged a DV and got... Read more »
I would guess there is much to this story that has not been told. You are right, you do have conflicting orders, and technically yours is last in time. However, since you knew of the biological father he should have been noticed of your action and it should have been disclosed to the court that... Read more »
