    Default What to Do if Your Wife is Threatening to Harm Your Children

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: New York . I have an order of protection against me prohibiting me from coming in contact with my soon to be ex wife and my 2 children ages 13 and 11. I have 3 recordings of my wife threatening to kill herself and our kids, I also have a recording of her admitting of drinking alcohol while taking pyschtropic medications, and the final recording of her threating to get my face cut. I have just retained a divorce lawyer and explained my story. What should our next steps be? Can I get custody with this Order of protection in place?

    Note* My OOP was issued after my wife had an arguement in which she called the police. I was charged with harrassment and menacing which was reduced to a violation.

    Your attorney should be guiding you; we cannot second-guess your attorney.

    How did you get any recordings without violating that order?

    How old are these recordings? If you believe that the threats are real, why are you simply collecting these recordings rather than doing something to protect your children?

    Work with your lawyer.
