    Default Re: Can I Be Charged with Trespassing for Being on a Residential Sidewalk

    I don't know of any case in any state where an accusation of trespass against a parent's spouse (even one that's credible, not dubious) enabled the other parent to get a restraining order preventing the step-parent from having contact with the children.

    In and of itself, no. But when taken as part of a pattern of behaviors, I've seen several just in my two surrounding counties where such RO's have been issued - and whether they have true merit for causing fear or not, given that judges have broad discretion in issuing such orders, defying the parent at their own residence is asking the court to spin that wheel.

    I appreciate all of the answers. First of all, we have never cussed, fussed or anything of this nature. I never speak ill of her in front of the children, even though we get 3 or 4 emails from this woman daily. The children are in therapy because the 6 year old little girl said on three different occasions that her mother has done inappropriate things to her. We went through DFCS and the little girl won't repeat the accusations. The children are scard to death of her. Even though I have her on tape talking about it, they said unless she told a person of authority that it didnt matter. Ever since DFCS has become involved she has really stepped up her hatred of me. She thinks the children are posessions. She loves to try to control our household and when she can't, she uses the children. For the last year and a half I have basically bit my tongue to try and be civil to this woman, for the children. But I am at the end of my rope. She is not GOD, why should I have to listen to her because she decrees it?? As long as I don't invade her personal space ( her property) she has no say so if I ride with my husband to take them home. We have no say if her raunchy boyfriend is there when we take the children home. She is mentally unstable enough to accuse him of anything she can think of if he goes alone, and she would have a witness, as her boyfriend is always there, and he is not above telling a lie. So another words, this is a MESS! We have talked to our attorney about going to court, but until the children say something, he says to wait.

    How is it in the best interest of the children to cause such mayhem during PU/DO?

    Stay home. If you care for these children AT ALL cut the crap.

    so you are willing to escalate the confrontation to whatever it takes to prove you are correct. Wow, that really shows concern for the children.

    If dad needs a witness, there are about 5 or 6 billion people on the planet. Of those 5 or 6 billion people on the planet, you are the absolute worst choice to consider as a witness. You have a vested interest in the outcome of any situation so that makes you an unreliable witness.

    let dad take just about anybody else with him to the do/pu or seek a court order to have the do/pu in a public place but you going along for what you claim is ridiculous. You are only causing greater problems than you think you are curing.
