My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California.
The mother of my child was living under my roof for about 6 years with our child and I was fully supporting them both, and about 10 months ago I asked for her to leave my house due to the fact that I had gotten into a serious relationship and there had been a lot of conflict over the course of her living under my roof and I had kicked her out three times in the past because of arguments and me just not wanting to deal with her anymore. During the times I had asked her to leave and the last ten months, I have continued to pay child support for my daughter. Since I have been involved with my new girlfriend, my ex has been sending me threatening text messages, harassing me over the phone, calling at all hours with blocked numbers, threatening me, my family, and my girlfriend, and occasionally spamming my workplace with phone calls. I decided I needed a restraining order against her when she tried to break into and vandalizing my house while only my elderly mother was at home. However, I do not know how a restraining order will affect my visitation rights with my daughter. Her mother is already very specific and difficult when it comes to me seeing my daughter. She makes everything complicated and does not allow me to visit my daughter on any day other than Saturdays between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM. Due to my work schedule, that is not always possible for me. I cannot take time off of work during those hours and she will not allow me to see her any other time or day. So based on this information, I want to know if I have a valid enough reason to get a restraining order against her and how this will affect my visitation rights. Thank you.
