What if your wife wants to file a restraining order and really has no reason for this?

Question

If she files a restraining order, then I have to move out of the house for 14 days till the hearing, which of course is going to be a major hassel, especially because I am self employed.

Answer 1

No reason, don't believe it.

It may not be a good reason but she has one.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

File before she does and show cause that you would lose more than she would by leaving the home.
Honestly, though, there really is no way to stop her if she is determined. My husband's ex got a restraining order against him after we were married so she would have a better case to get sole custody of their daughter. She told the judge she was afraid of him, even though they only saw each other when transfering their daughter and she came to our house to do it. The judge issued it without comment from my husband to defend himself. When we asked why, the judge said that if anyone claimed fear of another person, he legally had to grant it. He gave a four year injunction that will finally run out this year.
Life sucks sometimes and sometimes you gotta be the one to act first. No matter how much of a sissy you think you would look like telling the judge you are afraid of her, it is well worth it in the long run. You will always have a black mark on your record if she succeeds.
We tried to rent a place two years ago and were denied because since someone had a restraining order out on my husband, he was high risk.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

Whether or not she has a good reason for filing a restraining order, you will get screwed if she does it. The court will likely rubber stamp the order, and she will have her order before the ink is dry on the paper. Courts routinely hand out restraining orders to women like candy. You should get yourself a lawyer IMMEDIATELY, if you know what's good for you. Are lawyers expensive? Yes, they are expensive. Guess what, buddy? If she gets a restraining order against you, this will be a LOT more expensive, and you will still need a lawyer. However, by then much damage will already have been done, and you will be at a major disadvantage, legally and economically. Get a lawyer without delay! You'll be glad that you did. And, if you fail to do so, then you will sorely regret this later, after the order has been granted.

Answer 4

Some women have multiple restraining orders: I talk to police men all the time at work and they gave me the heads up.

If this is her first "restraining order" I would leave before she needs to file one.

If this is her fifth, I would leave before she aggravates you, and provokes you.

If she really has no reason to do it, you are in the clear anyway. Many people seek restraining orders, they aren't that easy to get, so if you have a decent case it might be put on hold until evidence proves contrary.

Answer 5

WHY DID YOU CAUSE YOUR WIFE
TO DO THIS ANYWAY
IF YOUD HAD CONTROL
THEN SHE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO SAY

I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER
BECAUSE I AM SCARED OF HIM
DUDE ITS YOUR FAULT ITS LIKE THIS
YOUR FUTURE IS LOOKING DIM

BUT I KNOW THERE IS 2 SIDES
TO ALL SAID STORIES THATS TRUE
SO I AM NOT SAYING YOUR BAD
JUST YOUR CHOICES ARE FEW-

SEE IF SHE CAN DROP
THE CHARGES TAKEN OUT
BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY A FINE
DEFINATELY - NO DOUBT

IF THIS CANNOT HAPPEN
AND YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT
WHEN SHE GETS UP ON THE STAND
TELL HER TO REPORT

THAT IT TOOK TWO
IT WAS NOT ALL YOUR FAULT
THEN YOU MAY GET THE RELEIF
THAT YOU HAVE SOUGHT

IF ALL ELSE FAILS
YOU CAN ALWAYS DO THIS
YOUR ONLY ALLOWED ONE THOUGH
PRAYER FOR JUDGEMENT- TO DISMISS

GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

"Really has no reason for this" doesn't sound very likely and if you stay any longer you're asking for trouble. Something is happening to provoke her and if you don't leave voluntarily you'll probably make things worse.
Some times people need a breather and some space and this might prove best for you.

By "self employed", I think you're saying that you're not being very successful and can't afford th separation at this time but if I were you I'd find a way before you find yourself in worse trouble.

Answer 7

If she has 3 violent threats against her from you she can file and get one. If thats not the case then she wont be able to get one. She can file but that doesnt mean she will get one if the criteria isnt met.If the criteria is met then..You both will go before the judge and the judge will decide whether or not action is then taken.I pray she doesnt have violent threats from you..if so ..yall need to be apart from each other. Please have a peaceful and happy life for it is so very short.

Answer 8

One can get a restraining orde for just about any reason with showing enough just cause to convince the Judge, whether true or not. If she does, then youll have no choice but to obey it or you just might get new living quarters with a cot and toilet and bars on the front, an then youll have real troubles. Life sucks sometimes and this sounds like one of those times for you, sorry and good luck

Answer 9

There is a reason why that she is not telling you and as far as i know restraining orders aren't cheap doesn't matter though why would she waste money on getting a restraining order put on you for no reason something is up find out what is going on.

Answer 10

Interesting question. She must hate you a lot.

The key for her is that she needs to be able to prove to the police / judge that there is justification for the restraining order. She can retain such an order from the courts if she is abused in any way, or if she feels the threat of bodily harm.

Next thing is that if the relationship is that bad, perhaps both of you need some help.

Answer 11

The judge (hopefully) only grants restraining orders when they are truly needed.You should be able to go to court and tell you're story.Maybe you should consider filing for divorce if your wife is willing to lie to the court to get you out of the house.Good luck--sounds like you're in a mess legally and relationship-wise.
