My question involves restraining orders in the State of: California
My wife, with our 5 year old daughter, and after 10 years of marriage got upset and left. Hired lawyer and has done every dirty trick in the book to prevent me from seeing my daughter and making my life miserable.
She lied in writing on the court papers; her own papers she filled contradict herself.
She was granted a TRO (domestic violence prevention) that prohibits me from having any contact with my wife, daughter, and her family. It even granted her full legal and physical custody, based on a lie stating abuse and only describing the abuse as "me demanding to see my daughter without supervision" and "treating to call the police if he cannot see daughter".
Until she left me 2 weeks earlier, I (along with my wife) raised her every day since birth. Almost every week we had a daddy daughter day, and NEVER had any history or claims of domestic violence or abuse. There was no court order or any agreements in place. She had left then refused to let me talk, see, or spend anytime with her.
I had a lawyer and went to court with confidence. In the best interest of the child the court kept everything in place, disregarding anything I submitted, all of her inconsistencies made under the penalty of perjury, and just continued everything.
It has been over two months, my lawyer didn't do anything except agree to postpone every time I had a court date. The court doesn't require her to prove or even explain any of her claims. All the orders are still in place and my next court is in Feb.
Because of her lies I have lost everything in my life, my wife, daughter, house, cars, credit, etc. My wife refuses to let any members of my family have any contact with our daughter. I can't even try to talk with her to try get any bills paid, get my daughters clothes and stuff to her, try to do something with the house to avoid foreclouser or anything.
I have given up on the family court (in process of firing my lawyer), but is there any way to have her charged criminally for this. I feel she unjustly kidnapped our daughter, falsified court document under penalty of perjury, harassed me, child abuse (for keeping her away from her dad), among others. I think she should have to stand trial for her crimes and let a jury decide. She has completely devastated my entire family, just because of spite towards me.
