Getting back in the house

[Theresagail]

This is in UTAH

Ok—so My brother in law got in a fight w. his wife 11/08 the cops were called and he was arrested--- long story short she filed a restraining order on him not to come to the house (that is in his name only) and around her---

In the mean time she has been getting high on meth--- her oldest daughter moved out (14yrs old ) into her grandmothers house because she could no longer handle mom getting high and not watching the other kids---


The wife finally realized she is hurting the girls so she let my brother in law take them, so he has the two girls and the 2 dogs as well, and they are pretty much homeless-

All the while the wife is @ the house getting high with her new boyfriend and they have both pawned almost all of his possessions.

My mother in law has hired an attorney that has done nothing—

So my question is: what can he do to get back in that house and get her outta there?

I told him to call the cops and have them raid the house but that will not take care of the original problem w. the restraining order on him @ that house. Should he call the court house and keep talking to anyone that will listen?? Any advice at this point will be helpful

Thanks Theresa

I think it's time for him to hire his own lawyer to do the talking at the courthouse.

Thats is the sad part, He has no $$, no job, no home -no nothing. the wife even filed the taxes and claimed the kids etc... I was just thinking he needs to go to the court house with the girls and keep talking till someone will listen? Too bad mom does not see that she is hurting her kids here.

I am not clear on what you mean by this.

Well, I dont know-- it just seems that the wife can get high, have shelter over her head, pawn the kids off on the homeless dad and party. while dad is trying to get the girls to school and trying to keep things in order and hoping that by the time his attorney figures it out (already spent 3k$) all of his belongings are not sold.

I know that him going to the court house and talking is not going to get him anywhere-- this whole story just seems wrong! I WISH I COULD HELP HIM-- Thats all

Believe me, I sympathize with you.

That's all I'm going to say on that subject!
