What is the name of your state? Illinois My ex wife just modified an Order of Protection against me. (This is her 5th order - all in different counties - and all she usually drops and/or violates, some after days...I would have been at the hearing but am out of state...showing the judge all the...

Because I think the sheriff is a corupt and untrustworthy and he scares the **** out of me. (He has a *lot* of power.) I wasn't trying to put her in the middle. I told her she was going to be with me until sunday, and they kept telling her she was leaving "right now". She was confused and I...

The town(s) are Littleton Illinois when my ex's family lives, and she *may* be living now (she refuses to tell me where she lives) and Rushville, Illinois where the Sheriff's office and courthouse are. Both are in Schuyler County. A third town is Macomb, Illinois, where my ex wife used to live...

I can't ask for the advice of someone local if I can't set foot in the town. What I am *trying* to aks is if anyone has any ideas as what I can do next (if I can't afford a lawyer) to make sure I am protected. Maybe - *if* the sheriff is abusing his authority - go *over* his head and make this...

I am not. I don't even *pay* child support. I wasn't ordered to. (I know, but I wasn't. The judge was EXTREMELY reluctant to NOT order some child support - she said that at the trial - but my lawyer (I *could* afford one then, but back then my dad was willing to back me - he *isn't* now) and her...

EXACTLY!!! They are saying that they have talked to the sheriff and he's "on the lookout for me", but they never took the so-called threatening letters and sought a restraining order. (Or if they *did* it was denied.) So how can they do this??? At the same time, I take the threat pretty...

I'd sell a kidney if I could! I don't really own a car (it's my parents) nor have anything that valuable to sell. (Sorry for the double-post. I meant this as an add-on to my last post but must have hit the wrong button.)

I *had* to move, because living in Illinois was unfesable economically Maybe my "fault", but staying was not an option. No. No court order. None. They didn't have one. I voulntraily surrendered the child - my fault. But it seemed like my only option in the circumstances. I was...

I can't. I can't afford an atorney. And I can't go through legal aid because my ex already has engaged them ("conflict of interests")... So I am screwed. Nothing I can do. They have money so they win. (And my kids lose.) It's *that* simple. Edited to add: Can I file for custody without...

*sigh* Well, the showed up. No court order. packed up her stuff - with my parents help - and pretty much pushed me around and strong armed me and took my daughter....I don't ****ing want to get into that part just yet, I'm too ****ing upset about it...they only reason I agreed is because I...

Wiat...wait...wait...she gives me the child, promises me AND THE CHILD TO HER FACE that she can stay untill May 1st, "maybe even June!", then calls up *thursday* night and says she is on the way here already and *DEMANDS* that the child ("Emmy") be ready to leave by 5pm saturday, "or else"...and...

The mother doesn't work. She is disabled. And she's not driving down here, her parents are either driving her here, or her parents are comming *without* her - in which case I don't really see how I can be required to turn them over to her, they don't have custody. (Oh, and the parent's don't...

Basically, it says that the "father's residence" Or "place of residence"... This *is* my place of residence.

What is the name of your state? Florida (and Illinois) Okay, here's the sich: Ex wife and I have joint custody (awarded in Illinois) but I now live in Florida. (But I travel to Illinois *alot*, and stay there for weeks, even onths at a time. I lived there *all* of last year.) I'm supposed to...

I'm going to go first thing tomorrow to to offices of Jacksonville Legal Aid...see if I can get *some* help. (But I'm not holding my breath.) This is exactly why my ex just *sprang* this on me today...didn't want me to have a chance to fight back. I wish I at least knew if I was *obligated*...
