You simply go to your nearest family court and ask for a restraining order, they will lead you to where the reports are filed. Once you have filed the request, you will need to go in front of the judge. You will be given a temporary restraining order and one will be given to the spouse, if his address is in the home, you can post it on the front door of the residence but for safety sake you may want to send it to his place of employment or have the sheriff serve him in your home.
Secondly then you and your spouse will be given a court date that you will come together to discuss where the children will be and what responsibilities he will still be responsible at the residence. Additionally the judge will set child support and visitation at this hearing. Unless the children show signs of child abuse the judge will not allow you to keep the children from their father, period.So if you don't have a police report your husband will still be able to visit with and keep the children over night.
Many people think once they get an order that they can keep their kids away from the father but it is not so, nor will it be unless it was reported and witnessed by the police or some official. Another thing is that you will need to find a responsible person to deliver the children to their father on the dates that the judge says he can visit. He will be allowed to pick up clothing and personal items from the home with the help of the sheriffs office.
I have not heard of the hearing costing you anything, however your spouse if found to be abusive may pay fees to the court.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
