I forgot to address this in the OP. The visit happened before the TRO when she was feeling guilty or actually w0rried she would get in trouble for keeping the baby from him. The last straw was when she did answer his call thinking it had to do with him attempting to give her some money and he threatened to come to our house and demanded that she drug test him since she knows he probably relapsed and admitted to selling weed. We were not home at the time. She was scared. The next day she got the restraining order and bl0cked him everywhere and any "friends" of his (the kind that like to fish for information). We applied for legal aid in Jan and still, no answers other than one phone call. Her therapist has a friend who specializes in divorce and family law and the lawyer friend said Becca could call her. I think they talked about 3 times. Becca asked about her representing her and she is willing to lower her retainer fee to 2K and I called around and asked my son and the consensus is it is a decent deal because her normal retainer is 5k.

The one thing I know for sure that she cannot ask for restraining order if she is allowing him to visit in the house where she resides (even if she steps out when he is there) . It contradicts the whole concept of restraining order. Unfortunately it could be denied if that continues. She also shouldn’t be contacting him for any reasons. If she does, it would contradict the whole concept of her asking for RO. He could say “why restraining order? Why would she be afraid of me? She clearly isn’t. She went to live with her mom but she invites me over and calls me so we are just fine, your honor”.
Until court order stipulates how and where visitations need to take place, I do not believe there should be visitations as this isn’t a normal amicable divorce. Let the court decide. .
