  1. I’ve had a few slips along the way with my communication with ex throughout the past 10 months… but i have learned along the way… and mostly i have shown that i have been willing to communicate and co-parent with my sons father. Hopefully it is seen that way by our judge. He is the combative one, he does not want to communicate whatso ever. He wants a restraining order against me, when really it is me that should be awarded a restraining order. He is requesting son 4 nights every week majority timesharing- going from No overnights. He doesn’t want me to travel out of state with son, i’ve already refused a cruise with grandma, and a trip to NY for Christmas because i did not want to upset father by taking his one day of the week with son.

  2. At this point, I’m disappointed about everything. People are so immature with the restraining order game, and who does this and that. Is completely bad. This is a tool to manipulate. Complete bad, bad, bad.
    I live in Canada. I love my daughters, and I’m waiting for them with my arms open. I used to love my ex. then I grew tired of her false accusations, insults, screeching, throwing my clothes out, slamming doors, locking me out, and telling my daughters I didn’t want them. Because Facebook posts from 10 – 12 years ago. There were more and more bad arguments about nothing. She didn’t want to go to family therapy after, she said, she had postpartum (really? :/ ), So she dropped me off at work on our way to drop off our daughter at the daycare, and after work then locked me out from home :/. Claimed, I was harassing her when I went back to the house to get my things. She Didn’t let me in and insulted me in front of my daughters. I never saw my daughters ever again.
    My lovely ex. texted me telling me she left the door open for me to get my things. I didn’t because I knew she wanted to trap me. Later, she said she wanted me. I said no because I knew she wanted to trap me. 3 months after she told me she didn’t like me, hate me, locked me out, insulted my mom and everyone, and still not being agreeable to a parenting plan, she was stalking me on a dating site, pretending to be someone else. She liked me and started the conversation. I knew it was her. I told her to please stop stalking me. She then posted pictures of my mom on the site, then she went to
    the police and made false accusations. She got a restraining order on me. ?????
    Is this right??
    Also, I have a lot of her threatening voicemails about never letting me see my baby daughters about getting a lawyer that will never let me see my children, and getting a restraining order after I asked to get to a family therapist. She used my immigration paper in court, then she got her restraining order, and every day, she purposely passes by my work after claiming she was afraid of me, and that I cannot spend time with my daughters because of someone’s hate. is that the right to do?
    I presented all that to the court and they didn’t care. She makes more than I do so she had a lawyer, I have a strong accent hahaha. again just immaturity.
    I don’t care about the other party. I just want to have a parenting plan, and at least be able to show all the evil shit the other person did about lying to the court, and that’s all.
    all this and they don’t care. i think about my daughters everyday and cant wait to see them and I just need 20k to fight the restraining order
