    Default Can You Get a Protective Order to Stop Your Ex- Form Recording Phone Calls

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland

    My child's father recently told me he was recording my phone conversations. He stated it wasn't anti use in court but for other reasons. His new gf already had me falsely arrested for harassment bc I text her when I tried to be an adult and have open communication since she was in my sons life. She was arrested for 2nd degree murder (Nolle pros) and is currently being court ordered to submit drug testing and paternity testing. She is also not allowed around my son in which the order ends tomorrow and has posted they will be together tonight.

    Back to original portion. What can l do knowing my sons father is recording my calls. I have him admitting it in text. Can I get a PO for myself and son or myself or what do I do. I lost one job bc of their tactics and am a professional engineer and great mommy who tried to keep his father in his life only to be destroyed over and over. He had a temp PO when my son was 1 month old for shiving me and threatening myself and my dog. Please advise.

    Simplify your life and stop feeding into what your Ex and his GF try to suck you into. If your Ex is recording your calls, then don't say anything that may come back to bite you in the ass. Otherwise, you will find yourself in court about recordings. It's not worth it. Just move on and ignore what they do until and if a real issue comes to pass.

    When you don't play their game it pisses them off. Don't play and just move on. Best advise I could give you.

    A million times, Mom. A million times.

    I guarantee that if you keep dragging each other back to court over really inane, stupid stuff - like this, for example - you're not going to be happy when the judge finally gets sick of seeing your faces.

    The recording stuff is inane...but I am a little more concerned about the following:

    She was arrested for 2nd degree murder (Nolle pros) and is currently being court ordered to submit drug testing and paternity testing. She is also not allowed around my son in which the order ends tomorrow and has posted they will be together tonight.

    Correct on all of the above. I do not want to go back to court. I want it all to end but I dropped all modifications and all to alleviate this and he and his attorney already told the courts they would be going back to court. I want it to stop for my son and his ignorance towards my son and his well being. He took it upon himself to enroll him into a daycare and not allow me to send my son to his caregiver during my time. Meanwhile we had to visit my sons specialist (one of four) for emergency visit because he was very ill. The doctor specifically asked if anything new...he noted being around his gfs youngest who was ill and nothing about the new daycare facility he was in. Correct she was not convicted. I think that holds to weights. Her ex fiance dropped the charges for lesser charges on himself...and I know I can't legally use it. I am a quiet individual whom keeps to herself unless it pertains to my son. My fear is the stalking, contacting my church/office/etc will not end. I fear my son will be involved or figure it out as he already knows a lot more than one would think. He is making it harder to work due to spreading this information to the community as we are both big roles in our community. I, however, am not originally from here and dont have a solid foundation of the same "cliques". I appreciate your feedback, even those that sound snark and judgmental in nature, as I understand you dont know the whole story. Thank you again.

    Can you manage to get enough money together to have a sit-down with a local attorney? You have some fears, yes, and depending on just how your jurisdiction deals with things (some won't deal at all unless the baby is about to be dropped into boiling oil - some will act on a "she called me bad names") the attorney might be able to put your mind at ease somewhat.

    Very good advice. I was just concerned with "you took too long to file something" type thing. I have only really been in court for the false accusation, a speeding ticket, and first child custody. I don't tend to fall outside the lines and get in trouble so I'm learning what is "right and wrong" vs what is "applicable". Thank you for your time!

    Maryland is a two party state. This means that both (or all if more than 2) parties must agree to telephone recording. Your Ex is breaking the law. See Maryland law Section 10-402.

    I'd be sharing the illegal telephone recording information with your attorney.
