OK so I just asked a question about my abusive ex and I thought of another, his mother has a restraining order against me...she is crazy I sware. Do you think this would effect child custody, if I have never had any problems with the law or drugs ect??? I have never had a restraining order against me by anyone. My ex now lives with her and even testified that she was crazy in court!! I just worry bout my babies being with him

I read your other question. Since he has supervised visitation, and does not avail himself of them, I would think that fact would tend to balance the scales. As the other person said, you need to find reliable witnesses to her instability. You have a lawyer, you should ask him/her these questions. Have him explain to you what constitutes a reliable witness, so you won't be dredging up people who will not be useful.

No, the restraining order will not affect your custody... You have never had any problems with anyone and the judge will see that.. He will also realize that the mother is interfering...
They also have to prove that you are an unfit mother... They will investigate not just you, but him as well and they will determine later who gets custody and if you are worried about him being with the kids, then you have to state in court that you would like supervised visits. You will have to tell them why.
Good Luck and God Bless!

How did someone get a restraining order without you having done anything...I don't understand. Wouldn't she has had to provide some sort of proof that you were threatening her and she felt "unsafe"....That's the way it works here anyway.
If he is abusive and there is a record of that then it takes care of that problem. In so far as her; I don't think it has any bearing unless SHE is the one suing you to get custody otherwise the courts are not interested in what anyone outside of the parties involved or "experts" have to say...Again that's from my experience where I am.

Parental Alienation Syndrome - if your ex and your mother-in-law are good at playing that game - your custody could be jeopardized.
You need to keep your distance from these people and have reliable witnesses who can testify to your mother-in-law's craziness when the time comes.

If she has filed the order she should not be in problem if she chooses to break it--yet she's making a wide mistake if she does. The restraining order became placed into result to guard her from this guy. The courtroom equipment received't take her heavily if she deliberately places herself in position to be close to him.

There is a strong possibility that it will effect the child custody case. You may need an attorney~
