My question involves criminal law for the state of: MI
Ok this is the second time in the last few months my wife has taken our two children somewhere and refusing to tell me where. This is also the second time she has physically assaulted me, the first time she was arrested and charged with interrupting a 911 call (I was trying to call the police and she ripped the phone out of the wall) and domestic assault. I had the assault charges dropped because I was hoping we could work everything out. She was ordered to go to counseling. Today I wake up and find out she has taken the kids somewhere again (and left them with someone I do not know) and over the past few months has been reading my personal journal (something I use as a part of my therapy for PTSD) and at the request of the counselor she has been seeing has been bringing my journal with her to the counseling sessions.
Now at this moment I do not know where she or my children are. I have filed a police report and will not be dropping the assault charges this time. When the officer came to my house she was already gone, but I had very deep lacerations on the back of my neck where she struck me with a set of keys. The officer took pictures and was able to get her on the phone where she of course denied hitting me.
Will I be able to get a restraining order on her to stay away from me and our kids?
Can I also request charges be brought up on her for taking my journal? Theft maybe?
What can I do about this counselor that told her to take my journal in the first place? To me that seems to be some sort of ethics violation considering the journal is in no part hers to take.
I will be hiring a divorce attorney... Do I have a decent case to receive sole custody of our children? I have no record at all, in fact I was a military police officer for 10 years until a well placed bomb ended my career. But my wife has the previous history of interrupting a 911 phone call, the assault and then the assault that happened today.
