    Restraining Order
    I'm 18 and for the past year I have been dating a sixteen year old. I broke up with him almost a month ago. A lot of things happened between us over those three weeks that weren't so great. His mother only knows his side of the story, she knows that I slapped him and threw something at him ( it didn't hit him) but she does not know the reasoning of why I did those things. We decided to put it all a side and get back together. But his mother said he couldn't date me again but he did anyway. When she found out she called me and threated me that if I see him anymore she is going to get a restraining order against me. Does she have any grounds for one. Like I said she only knows his side and not the whole story and his side does make me sound like a horrible person.
    If she did file one could I lose my job because I work at a child care?

    First yes, your slapping is "hitting" him and this could have gotten you a jail time. And of course the mom could care less of your side, But es if you slapped him and threw something at him, she has all the grounds she needs for a restraining order.

    Your boyfriends mother could only get a restraining order against you if you were harassing him or calling to his house and causing trouble. Even then it would be very difficult. It appears that his mother is protecting him,he is only 16 after all. Could you try to speak to his mother and explain the whole story? If things are very bad between you and your boyfriend and now is mother is involved, perhaps you might need to rethink the relationship and ask yourself is it worth all this upset. This is just my own opinion.

    You probably would not loose your job, but why risk it? Can a mother protect her 16 year old? Yes. Would a judge grant a restraining order? Perhaps; no one knows what a judge will do. Do you want to find out?
