Ex wife keeps coming into my home against court order?

Question

I have primary custody of my children: ex wife keeps entering my home against a court order. What can I file with the police to have this stopped? Prefer not to have to have sitter call 911 when this happens as this will upset the kids. Any suggestions? The courts move way too slow and I need this to end now. Thanks.

Answer 1

That is so simple, an eight old would know the answer. Have a locksmith change the keys and install a peep hole. When she shows up, don't open the door.

Answer 2

That order you bothered everyone at the city/county with isn't any good if you don't do your part. Why did you bother to get it if you don't call the police everytime she trespasses?

How is your ex getting in? If she has keys, then change the locks.

If the kids are letting her in, you need to sit them down and discuss this with them and tell them she is not allowed in the house.

When she does come to the house, the police need to be called so she knows you mean business. Right now, she is laughing at you because you have an order and you don't do squat about it.

You didn't say what age your children are but you need to set rules and enforce them or nothing will be accomplished and your ex will continue to do the same things over and over. Have the sitter call you next time and you go home and then have the sitter take the kids to a back room while you call the police and have her rear hauled out of there.

Take action or just sit back and continue to be abused. Hopefully you won't ignore her or she may end up taking the kids some day, some place where you can't find them.

Give it some thought for your kids sake. Good luck

Sure the courts are slow, but that's your only legal recourse. Call the police if she enters the house illegally if you have to. How is she getting in? Are the kids inviting her in? Is she bluffing or bullying her way past the baby sitter? Does she have a key? Whatever it is, you have to change it. Change the locks, tell the kids that mommy can't come into the house when you're not there, when you hire a sitter explain clearly that the ex is not allowed inside. Document every time she does it and keep the notes. Then when things go far enough to bring in the police you have a documented history to take to court.

Answer 4

You need to go to the police station and give them a copy of your court orders. Tell them that she is in violation, and that if you call or the babysitter does, not 911, but the station directly, can they send someone out to take her away. This will also work if you have some kind of security guard around your neighborhood that drives around. If she is dangerous to the children, then you can file an emergency motion with the courts to have a restraining order against her. With an emergency motion, the judge will know she has been in violation of the orders, and will either fine her or put her in jail.

Answer 5

Pull the locks out of the doors yourself, I had 10 locks, mixture os deadbolts and normal handle ones, 3 different keys. I put them in a bag and brought them into the local locksmith(local small business) they made them all to be the same key for $102 all together. That included 6 keys and done in 2 hrs. Simple, quick, and effective, do your part, if that doesnt work, phone the police if you already have an order showing she is breaking the law, if you can show the police on video footage with ease not wasting their time of her breaking the court order all the better. Police love to see a quick video so they can be sure they be sure they are making a proper effective arrest.

Answer 6

I understand not upsetting the kids, but if someone calls the police she'll be out of there and gone before thy get there.

Don't open the door sounds good , but she will knock , ring the bell, call the kids name and inside the kids will get upset because someone is not opening the door for mommy hum not a good thing to do.

Set her up, have the kids some place else and you be home when she knocks or even when you see her pull-up call the police on her for trespassing when thy get there show them the court order.
argue nicely with her if you have to till the police get there.
arguing because that way she'll be more app to stay and argue back and it will give the police time to get there.
If you can have a witness there do so that way she'll think twice before saying you hit her. .

Do something before she thinks about taking the kids and running off.
And if you think the courts are slow now Waite till that happens you'll think the courts forgot about you.
I wish you luck.

Answer 7

As much as you don't like the idea you need to have the sitter call the police. It will more than likely stop this behavior with your wife. You can explain to the kids that this is what happens when you break the law. Tell them you didn't like doing it but their mother was doing something wrong and has to be punished for it. I would tell the sitter first though to not let her in and tell her that she will call the police unless she leaves.

Answer 8

Change the lock and instruct the sitter not to answer the door for anyone. You might have to have the sitter call you if she shows up and is disruptive. If the kids are old enough explain it to them.

Answer 9

Go file a trespassing warrant against her. It is a court order and her trespassing is against the judges order. They will not like reporting to that at all. All one legally has to do is tell someone to leave their property and if they don't they are trespassing and she is violating a court order. NOT SMART! When she shows up, don't let her in, change locks if neccessary, call the cops tell them you have a court order on the matter and they will come and arrest her. Then she won't be a problem, she will be in jail. Sometimes unfortunately we as parents must do this to protect our young. The kids will be fine as long as there is no physical harm done to anyone. As well file a no trespassing paper on her so that she can't go anywhere the kids will be throughout the time. Then no matter where they are it can be inforced. It doesn't matter if it is school, daycare, a friends wherever. There is a reason a judge put this in effect and they will not like it at all if she is breaking the law.
good luck and god bless

Answer 10

If you want it to stop then you have to jump the hoops. Have the sitter call the police for her breach of court orders.

Answer 11

you call the police, and file a report. tell them how and when she has been doing it. and you will have to draw the line somewhere, at some point, if she doesn't stop, you will have to have your babysitter call the police. it won't traumatize the kids if the babysitter keeps them away from any drama that comes of it. but for her to stop, she has to see the consequences of breaking a court order.
