What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
My husband had a restraining order and parenting plan papers served to daughter's mother over the weekend. The restraining order is to keep her from moving out of state with daughter until the hearing in court next month. We haven't heard one peep from the mother regarding anything and have no idea what she's up to, although I'm sure she has retained a lawyer and is figuring out the next step.

Is it possible that my husband could get papers served to him for whatever reason by her lawyer? If so, what would it be? Some kind of papers saying she's against the restraining order or the parenting plan and allowing her to move before the hearing?

(Silverplum is correct, but I felt the urge to answer anyway)

Your husband needs to understand that WA is rather moveaway-friendly. In other words, your husband will have the burden of articulating why the relocation shouldn't be granted. Can he do that?
