My ex boyfriend wants to file a restraining order against me because I'm moving back in the area to live with my parents while I have my baby. My husband is going to be in Iraq at this time. I in no way have ever offended him or physically hurt him or threatened him. Can he still file a restraining order? I'm asking this because he is a member at the same church as me and this would prevent me from being able to get my baby baptized and from going to church. I have no plans to contact him in any way shape or form.

He wants to file the restraining order just because he doesn't like me. That is his reason.

I know he wants a restraining order because he instant messaged me today and told me.

Let him file all he wants. He's the one that's going to be out the money it costs for the order not you and if you're not planning on doing something all the better. It proves you're better than he is. The restraining order goes both ways. Neither of you will be able to legally go within 500 feet of the other.
If he wants to stoop as low as to keep you from getting your baby baptized then either you've done something very wrong in the past or he just wants to show his butt.
I'm guessing that he will do nothing and I suggest you do the same...nothing and let the past fall into nothingness.

He can file any order he wants. You can choose to contest it.
I would get a lawyer ASAP and have a hard look at the order to see what is being restrained.

He can ask for one, he can even ask for an emergency one (around here they are good for about 2 weeks), but he still has to appear before a judge and show cause. If you get a notice of a hearing you need to show up with an attorney.

Yea he can file it. The court will review its validity. If there is no reason to have it then why would he file it? He has to supply a reason for doing it.
How do you know if he wants to file an order unless you are in contact with him???... Interesting tid-bit.
