Re: Our Child

I do not know what grounds you would have to obtain a restraining order against your mother. As far as the DFS is concerned, if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear. I have seen many cases where someone calls the DFS, a home study or investigation is done, and the DFS dtermines that there is no reason to get involved. Normally, I strongly advise all of my clients to avoid DFS if at all possible, but if they contact you you should definitely make sure that everything is in good shape at home and take the opportunity to show them just how good a situation your child or children are actually in. If your mother continues to call them they will get wise to the real story and everything will be fine.
