this is my first time here sorry if i make a mistake. my 7 week old daughter passed away 6 weeks ago. my husband started drinking and using drugs. he became emotionaly abusive to me and our 2 year old son. i made him leave. he called dhs on me and lied dhs came to my house drug tested me and i was clean so dropped it. then he started comming over saying he was going to kidnap our son and go to mexico where he is from. i myself have apast drug history but have been clean for about 2 years. he said he could use my past to get our son, is that true, also my husaband has been screaming and cursing me in front of our son. finaly i had enough i told him not to come back and he went off on me saying all kind of stuff about i needed to do what ever he said or he would take our son and i would never see him again. i went the next morning and got a order of protection for me and my son. we go to court july 2 infront of the judge for the order of protection. i do not know what to expect at this court hearing. i just do not want anything bad to happen to my son and for sure i do not want my husband to run with him. what do i need to do to make sure this does not happen. i do not want to punish my husband i understand he is grieving for our daughters death but i do not want him to hurt our son or me. i do not want him back. what do i say or do to make him only get supervised visits and to stay away from me. also, i do not know if we are legally married, wwe had a ceremony signed the papers but 3 days later he told me he was still married to his wife so i never turned in the marriage license. i am scared can someone tell me what to do, i can not afford a lawyer and i think my husband got one.
 
You might want to see if legal aid can help you. Nobody can tell if you are legally married or not. Did he ever divorce his first wife? You can certainly ask for cupervised visits but that does not mean you will get them. I really encourage you 2 to try and work something out. Document all these threats. Is your husband in this country legally? If he is a flight risk you can certainly ask for temporary custody and supervised visits. I recommend both of you get counselling, maybe family counselling so you both can function after suffering the death of a baby.

Good luck
