JMA Topic: Child Custody cases involving Injunctions

JMA Topic: Child Custody cases involving Injunctions

You may currently be in the middle of a divorce and/or custody case when all the sudden you are served with a Temporary injunction for protection by your soon to be ex spouse. This happens far too often then it should, but it happens. Most of the time these injunctions are based on hearsay and not actual evidence. At this point there is no need to get upset or angry, but, you must follow the instructions on this injunction or face criminal charges and/or jail time.

I have had clients in the past (and currently) that come to me asking for help regarding their custody case and they become so worried about the injunction. While many believe this creates a problem, it really does not. It simply changes how we approach this obstacle. I will still meet with them and explain the process. This same process that I am going to briefly discuss with you today.

At this point I advise my potential client to retain the services of a reputable attorney and have the attorney contact me when he/she is ready to proceed with our investigation. Once this is completed then all requests, reports, payments, updates, pictures, video, etc go to the attorney and not to the "client," as the "client" is actually the attorney's "client". Therefore, I am working for the attorney and not the "client". This allows the client to still proceed with their initial legal action plans and not worry about going to jail for a violation of injunction. The client then receives updates directly from their attorney. At no point do I release any information to the individual.

You should speak to your attorney about having the injunction dropped as part of your settlement.. Note, settling out of court is the best option if both parties can come to an agreement. This should be your secondary concern, your children being the primary concern.
