The police wouldn't do anything b/c I waited until today to try and file a report (2 days later). The RO I had is not in effect. The court house told me they didn't know which county to file in. My lawyer doesn't know if the divorce is final since we have never received our decree. This is all crap. All I know is that I'm not letting my dd go back to him, and the way I see it is since I don't have any papers saying when she has to go, then why should I have to send her.
I'm going to the court house tomorrow and filing for a RO. But I'm scared and nervous b/c the judge knows my ex and his family. Last time I filed the judge looked at me and told me that I was lying b/c he new my ex would never do anything like what I stated he did. So on top of everything, I felt scared and humiliated already and then had this judge who is supposed to uphold the law not want to grant the RO.

Kait-
I'm sorry everything isn't falling into place easily for you. Have you tried contacting a local domestic abuse shelter/hotline? They may be able to give you some referrals and advice of how to best proceed. Do you or your daughter (from where the door hit her head) have any bruises? Does your ex have any neighbours who witnessed the portion that happened in the yard? Too bad his dad wouldn't testify to what happened, but if he didn't have enough decency to intervene I doubt he'll be helpful or honest.
That was incredibly unprofessional of the judge to have made a comment like that. You would think a judge with years of experience would know that appearances can be deceiving and sometimes the worst people behind closed doors come from the 'best' families. I hope there's more than one judge and you don't get him again.
