Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Restricted Communication with ex
There is a restrainer order precluding me to talk with my ex except about the children and only via email. There are several issues of the divorce which have not been finalized (my ex has not complied with) and I need to resolve those issues without violating the restriction order. I am considering writing a letter to my ex, acting pro se, outlining the issues to be resolved and depending on my ex response, I would file a motion to compel my ex to comply with the judgement of divorce. I wonder whether writing such letter and fling a motion, pro se, could be construed as a violation of the restrainer order.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The motion is probably ok. A letter may cause a prolem.

Re: Restricted Communication with ex
Gary is correct. Any letter can be considered a violation of the RO, even if it mentions legitimate issues. Play it safe and raise these points by Motion, or write to the Court (it sounds like your divorce is still pending) and request a case management conference.
Frankly, you sound like you would benefit from legal representation.

You need a lawyer.
A restraining order in place (violation of it can cause you to be thrown in jail) and you still want to do this on your own? And your ex is violating the divorce settlement, and you still want to do this on your own?
