Legal Question in Family Law in Wyoming

Wife filed a Protection Order, what are my options?

My wife left me, was gone for over a week when she started

having DFS and the Police coming over to do wellfare checks on my son,

There was nothing they could do for her so the same night she broke in the

house in the middle of the night through the kitchen window and took

our 2 year old while I was at work and my brother, (my Son's Uncle) was

babysitting. I called 911 and reported it but there was nothing they

would do, due to us being still married and no custody had been

determined, and she was still on the lease. The next morning she quit her job,

went to the local self help center and applied for legal aid and

obtained a family violence protection order against me based on total lies. We

had a hearing and I brought copies of her medical bills for the mental

institution she has been to twice in the last month and a half, police

reports where she has hit me as well as the ones of her making

malicious reports to DFS and the Police. The Judge did not want to look at

anything. He ordered her custody, and me to pay $100/ month child support,

and gave me 48 hours a week to see my son. She since has written 2 hot

checks overdrafting my account -$700, my pay checks are dp into this account, please help

Get to an attorney as quickly as possible. For the first 30 days after the hearing on the Order of Protection you might even be able to get the judge to change his order. You also can (and probably should) file for divorce in order to have a proper decision on the parenting of the child -- in other words who the child will be with and when. You also probably want to close the current checking account (or at least to stop putting your paycheck into it), opening another where your payroll checks are deposited.
