Chapter 20 - TEMPORARY ORDERS

I filed for a protective order.
Against Barbara.
And requested one involving Richard’s contact with me.
Not automatic permanent separation from his children.
The court reviewed:
Recording.
Texts.
Keys.
Labor plan.
Medical chart.
Richard’s conduct.
Temporary order prohibited him from contacting me outside counsel and parenting-related channels.
Barbara received no-contact restrictions involving me and the babies pending review.
Richard’s parenting time began supervised.
He hated it.
“I never hurt my kids.”
That was true in the narrow physical sense.
The judge said:

“The issue is not whether you struck a child. It is whether your judgment under family pressure created danger during their birth.”
That sentence became the center.
