Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Domestic Violence Protection Order
I live in Ohio, Logan County and Ive been served with a domestic violence protection order. Based off the petitioner's statement I constantly call her and the statement is false. I tried on May 12th, 2009 to find out when her next doctors appointment was for our unborn child. She stated I was not allowed to attend and told me to leave her alone and I havent been in contact with her since. Im very surprised to recieve this so Im wondering if she does have a case. I dont know if it is relivant but in 2006 I was charged with domestic violence but didnt serve jail time, just paid a $300.00 fine. Im guessing she considers me calling her regarding the child a form of harrassment

Re: Domestic Violence Protection Order
When the child is born you may want to file a paternity action to get visitation and child support established. At that time you can again address the issue of the restraining order. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions. Best regards, Edward dicato
