Re: false restraining orders in custody battles
What is a "false restraining order?" Does the mother have custody? Do you have custody? For you to get a restraining order, you need to serve papers on the mother, either by personal service or by publication. To be able to serve by publication, you need to convince a judge you have tried hard to find the person you want to serve that way.
