Hello Marcy, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
in *, my daughter and i got an order of protection against my ex/child's father. for context, he is not legally allowed to be near us, other than for visitation of our child, which he doesn't pursue. he hasn't seen his daughter since *, its * now. he also owes over 7k in child support. I've decided to make peace with the fact that he's not a presence in my daughter or my life, and considered it was all for the best, as he's extremely unsafe and volatile to be around. because of this, i can't and made a promise to never go back to my mother's house, which is my childhood neighborhood, because my ex lives in her building. creating this boundary has served me well, but now i am at my wits end. i need a job, but don't have childcare. i previously was given the luxury to be a full-time stay-at-home-mom, because i was receiving government assistance for my rent and bills. now i am no longer eligible for that assistance, so i need to start working within the next few weeks. because of varying circumstances, my mom is my only hope for childcare so i can go to work. i want your help in creating a proposal and plan for my mother to follow now that my daughter will be around the place her dad lives. being that he's so volatile, i predict he will violate the order of protection by trying to talk to my daughter and i when he sees us, inevitably, in passing. for context, i live in new york.
