Child protective order (restraining order)
My brother in law wants to get a child protective order or restraining order against me for my niece. He doesn't want me around her anymore. About three years ago I went into treatment for addiction and was clean for over two year and then I relapsed for 6 weeks. Ever since then I've been really working the program: going to AA meetings, throwing myself into my work, really focusing on family and going to an addiction specialist every 4 weeks. I also have numerous drug tests that say I'm clean. My brother in law is claiming that I did drugs in front of my niece, which is not true. I love her so much and it would kill me to not have her in my life, especially since I've never done ANYTHING to put her in harms way. What do I do? He is not up for discussion on this so I can't talk him out of it. Will they grant him a order without proof? If I have character witnesses will it matter? What do I need to know about this process?
