I was served a Temporary Restraing order not allowing my now girlfriend to come to visitation, nor allowing her to be present during my times of visitation. My wife and I have been seperated for almost 2 years. I have a previous child with my girlfriend. We also currently reside at the same address. How can they say who can or cannot be present at my visitation with my daughter? Someone please help as I am not able to afford and Attorney

Re: Temporary Restraining Order
Even if you cannot afford and attorney, you should seek legal help. The decisions that will soon be made will have long-term consequences. Call your local bar association or legal aid office immediately.
You will have a hearing in less than 14 days. The orders issued at that hearing could last months, or even years.
You will have to show that there is no reason for your girlfriend to be excluded. Of course, if there is some danger to the child, then you might not be able to do that. Typically, judges do not like girlfriends and boyfriends to be around parents while the child is present and before the divorce is over so that is a problem. You should probably proceed with your divorce as soon as possible.
