What is the name of your state? Texas.

About 3 months ago, I was falsely convicted of a simple DV (with a bail was set at $1,000), and I served time/cost/fine concurrently. My DV case is completely closed. However, my wife and infant son are currently in the women's shelter about 300 miles from where I currently live, and I don't know when they will be returned. My wife (a non-immigrant) doesn't drive nor speak English, and she collected public benefits on behalf of my son (a U.S. citizen). I am not aware of any order of protection or restraint against me -because I am not served nor told by the judge nor recieved one in the mail. Therefore, I keep sending e-mails to her but got no reply. None of her relatives received phone calls nor e-mails from her too. Moreover, I do love my wife and son (VERY MUCH) though and hope to be united with them soon. I plan to move out of the apartment where my wife got me into legal trouble (the first time in my life) by calling 911 during a loud argument over my son's baby milk bottle. Can I move -without getting myself into legal trouble? Can my wife and son locate my new address and phone number because she apparently is prohibitted from contacting anyone (i.e. her relatives) including me? Is it possible that she has an order of protection on her -without my knowledge? What will happen if they come back and I won't be there (and she still has the keys to the apartment)? How long (maximum # of days) can she stay in the shelter? Thanks for your helps.

I'm having a hard time with your priority being moving so she can't contact you, instead of trying to see your son or get visitation. Definitely more to this.

I won't move that far away, and I will let her and her female cousin know of my new address. I need to stay in Texas until she comes home. This apartment have haunted me ever since the incidence with all the degrading images of being handcuffed, fingerprinted and rude cops. I couldn't contact her neither because I don't want to get me or her into more troubles. Sometimes I wished that I love her less but can't -since we humans make mistakes and I think that she regretted about this. I can't see my son neither because he is with her. Any advices?
