My question involves restraining orders in the State of: california
The background-
I am a 25 yr old male and my 35 year old girlfriend had a baby a little over a week ago. I have signed the birthcertifacte papers and acknowledgement of paternity papers the morning after her birth. My girlfriend does not live with me but at a studio apt on her parents property.
The problem-
My girlfriends mother is currently trying to get a restraining order against me. I have been dating my girlfriend for 3 years and have not had any types of problems with her mother. Then after my child was born she is trying to get one against me because I had asked her and her husband to leave the room during labor due to my girlfriends pain during it. My girlfriend and I talked about what she wanted during her labor beforehand and agreed that It would be just her and I during the labor/delivery. My girlfriends father had no problems with leaving the room as he understood what was going on. Her mother on the other hand became irrate after leaving. Her mother threaten to tow my truck off there property, threaten to call the police if I went to visit my girlfriend, is in the process of filing a restraining order, and has given her daughter an ultimatium of either choosing her or me. She has been told if she chooses me then she is not going to help her daughter or the baby, cut her daughter out of her will, and fire her from her job. Is there any merit for her getting a restraining order against me? I have not done any acts of violence, verbal abuse, or given her any reason to be afraid of me. Everyone else on my girlfriends side of the family agrees that she is acting irrational. Is anything that my girlfriends mother said to my girlfriend or me considered mental abuse? Or blackmail? Will a judge side with my girlfriends mother? Or will a judge see that she is acting irrational and not grant it to her? Any reply would help. Im just a hard working father who is trying to be with my girlfriend and my baby.
