Please excuse the typos and errors. I have had corneal transplants....
The father of my 17 year old daughter filed a civil stalking injunction. I would like to file an order to dismiss, however I'm not sure exactly what grounds I can request for the dismissal.
On the paperwork that I was served, the court asks the petitioner, if they or the respondent have any other court cases. The petitioner, checked no. We do have another court case, a child custody case in family court. Can I try to dismiss on the ground that this stalking situation should be handled in the family court? We were arguing about money owed to my daughter. After several back and forth message. I sent a text that said I was calling some of his customers and am telling them he is working as an electrician under someone else's license, when he has never received traing to do so. These are the messages he filed with the injunction. I never called any of his employers. In fact he called and talk to my dad and my dad called me and said that I can't threaten him. I completely ceased contact with petitioner for 2 months, except one email regarding the minor child. Then out of the blue I got served. It is ridiculous, I am blind, have had two corneal transplants, can't drive and he lives 4 hours away. Yet, he still put in, the injunction that he is terrified of me, is afraid I'll show up to his work, or home or wife's work. I have not once in seventeen years, contacted his wife, his employers, showed up to his home or place of business. He only filed this injunction, because he knows I don't have money to hire an attorney, because I can't see to work, that I can't drive 4 hours to file the paperwork because I'm blind.
In a nut shell I sent two text message after we had an argument on a payment he missed on back support, stating I was going to call his customers yet I never did. In all reality I think this stalking injunction is to bully and intimidate me into not reporting his business practices. What options are best to add on the file to dismiss.
