My wife and I have been seperated for about 7 months. Married for 4 years. We constantly fight and cannot get a long.
When we lived together, I had to call the cops on her for several things such as she attempted suicide, hitting me infront of our son, literally pulling him out of my arms and hurting him.
We tried marriage counseling, but that failed. We've been talking about a divorce for over a year now. Last Novemeber, I couldn't take it anymore so I moved in with my sister, which was about two hours away from the house. Work was slowing down and by december I was laid off, so getting an apartment was hard at the time. I still had to make mortgage payments for the house etc. One day I was hanging out by my best friends house, which my wife always was jealous of. She started accusing my friend of stealing me from my wife and just complete nonsense. My wife went and started attacking her. Of course to make things worse, my wife was 5 months pregnant at the time. My friend was sent to the hospital, and my wife was arrested for battery.
This was not the first time that she had become violent. About two weeks later she filed an order of protection agaist me for what happened that night. I didnt even touch her, I was too busy keeping my son calm. Yes she left my son in the car with the car on, while attacking my friend.
So in court the judge didn't want to hear my side of the story. And now I can't see my kids. The baby was born, and I can't do anything. I get visitations every other weekend from Saturday 9AM to 6PM on Sunday. I found a new job and plan to find an apartment closer to the house because driving 2 hours on those days is a pain. I spend at least the first two hours I see my son driving and because he is three years old, he sleeps most of the ride.
My questions I'll keep basic.
First, what can I do about a false order of protection in IL? The judges I've met seem to not believe me, regardless of all the proof I have that Alma is becoming more and more psychotic.
I want to see my kids more. What can I do to see them more?
Alma continues to threaten that she will make my life a living hell if I divorce her. How can I chose a path to see my kids, and steer clear from this psycho.
She tells me that she doesnt love me, but she wants me to provide for her. She doesnt want me to sell the house, and that I need to continue to pay the mortgage. I have to pay child support for two kids now and I just cant do it. Im emotionally and financially drained. I have to pay for her phone, car, the house, my own living situation and it's killing me. I need help.
