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 dropped orders might have helped me...)
Anyway...
It lists her as "the petitioner" and lists our 3 children (whom we have joint custody of) as the "protected persons".
Now, in the original "emergency" order, I was to avoid them all. (I called Child Welfare on her, and now they are investigating her...that's her only accusation she told my dad...and that was taken as "harasment"...yeah, you should see the way they live! My 10yo daughter wants to leave and live with me.)
In the new order, it says to avoid the petitioner and protected persons, BUT, on those pages, the line "protected persons" is crossed out in pen.
BUT, on one last page, an X is next to a box saying that I must "avoid the minor children"...???
Uh...I'm confused. Which is it?
She told my dad she modified it so I could see the kids. (Probably she did it because she couldn't sue for full custody if there was an OP against me!)
Also, the joint custody agreement says I am to pick the kids up at her appt. But the OP says I have to avoid the property...so how am I supposed to arrange to get the kids if I can't speak with her?
I should have been there, but they waited untill they knew I had to be gone on an emergency and couldn't get back.
Also, she is sueing for full custody, like I said, so...
One last thing - she has insisted adamantly several times that she changed her last name to her new husband's last name...but all the legal paperwork lists *my* last name.
Btw, my ex is nuts. After the last OP/RS, she spent the whole next day with me and my parents, and spent the night at my hotel room. (This was AFTER the divorce). And just 4 weeks ago, she called me at 1am because she "was lonely" and needed "comfort" and "someone to talk to" (her husband was/is having an affair)...now she doesn't want to see or talk to me for 2 years? (Probably because her 18yo 3-times convicted felon "husband" yells at her - and threatens me - and throws things - when I come around. In fact, on the day before she got the OP he threatened to kill me, but in ILL you can't get an OP except against relatives - at least that's what I was told by victum's services. I get a death threat, and *she* gets an restrainig order! "Justice" my a**!)
Also, I 'suppose I can't challenge to change the terms of the OP later now, can I? I'm stuck with it.
