Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Washington

When you obtained your restraining order, I have a feeling no one explained to the Court that the restrained individual would need to transport other children to the school. If in fact she is the only person who can transport her grandchildren, and the Court was aware of this, most judges carve out an exception to this provision so that grandma can drop off the grandkids.

On the other hand, if it is no problem for someone other than the restrained person to drop off her grandkids, then I think the Court would have at least orally addressed this issue in Court.

As to your underlying question, yes, the school should tell her she has to leave if they are aware of the restraints. Since you are aware there is a violation, you can seek a contempt order for violation of the restraining order. That said, be careful. If the situation requires grandma to drop off her grand kids, then the judge will likely modify the language to allow for this. If you knew this to be the case, the Court may not look too kindly on you, especially if grandma otherwise minds her own business.

Best of luck to you.
