Your boyfriend should meet with, consult, and retain, an attorney. You should have minimum involvement, despite your wishes to assist him in his divorce, parenting time, and other issues that shall likely have to be resolved.

A civil restraining order is something you might also consider.
I was told by a police officer yesterday to not speak with my roommate/co-worker and to get a restraining order on her because I had to write two police reports on her yesterday. Word got around work that I was going to get one and now she is having my other co-workers come to my desk and taunt me,... View More

For your own peace of mind, you might be looking for a new live/work situation. A restraining order will likely necessitate exceptions to allow for incidental contact at work/home and may be of little help to you.

It's not likely you will be able to have a good chance for recourse six years after the fact.
In 2008, I plead nolo to a charge of Possession of Child Pornography. At the time, the charge was not an offense that required sex registration. While on probation serving my 5 years of probation, the law went into effect and was retro'd to 1996. I was released from probation in March of 2013.... View More

Excellent time to go meet with, consult, and retain an criminal law attorney who may best present your case.
I'm a worried father as if this is legal or not. My child's mothers does tattoos in her kitchen, out of her house. Sometimes while my child is home.

Is this in Massachusetts or Rhode Island? Is your relationship with your child's parent so strained that you are both looking for ways to cause each other difficulties?
Release later this year. He is however leveled in Mass as a level 3. He served his complete sentence there so isn't on parole or probation there but will be on probation in RI upon release. Since RI can't legally level him, and he owes Mass nothing, can RI carry over his level upon his... View More

21 years ago, the court dealt with this issue. At the time, this boy you describe was a minor. Hopefully, the case record was sealed because of his minority. So, the best thing you might do for your friend is to not discuss the case in public.
