I am a domestic assault victim. My wife and her brother both assaulted me and was arrested. They both bonded out of jail and have a no contact order with me, the victim. My wife and I own a house together. The day after my wife bonded out, she sold one of our vehicles and took all the money, EBT card , and the second vehicle, and went to a hotel. For the children's sake, I allowed my wife and her brother to come to the house and stay while I temporarily left to my brother's house so they would not break their no contact order. Allowing them to stay at the house was supposed to be temporary until their court date. However, the court date keeps getting pushed to future dates. It has been almost 2 months and I have not had contact with my children and my wife says if I try to come back home, she will call the police and have me arrested for breaking the no contact order. Can I be arrested for going to my house if they are there? Do I have any recourse to see my children or go back home?
Rob, I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. Here are a few points to consider:
- No Contact Order: Violating a no contact order can result in arrest, even if it's your own home. Make sure to comply with the order.

- Custody and Visitation: You may need to file a petition for custody or visitation rights to see your children. Consider contacting child services for guidance.
- Property Rights: You might want to seek legal assistance regarding the shared property and financial matters.
