Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Plaintiff is lying about a violation on a restraining order.
What rights does a defendant have if the plaintiff is making false accusations and lied in the first place to get the restraining order. The defendant is only allowed contact with the plaintiff if it pertains to the children. When the defendant contacts him in regards to the children, he doesn't answer the phone and then calls the cops to lie and say she is breaking the restraining order. Why isn't the plaintiff held in contempt for lying to the cops. When the cops listened to the recording of the phone conversation they told him that the defendant has done nothing wrong. How can she protect herself because clearly he is baiting her and only wants her to get thrown in jail. How is all of this fair? Shouldn't the plaintiff get in trouble for lying and wasting taxpayers money? What can she do to protect herself?

All I can really tell you is to keep careful track of everything that happens (i.e. times, dates, what happened) because you won't get anywhere without solid evidence.
