I already changed the locks and I do have people staying with me tomorrow--and I may go to my parents' house overnight.
The order does not stipulate no contact nor does it say he has to stay away from me or my home. I was very upset about this. Thanks for the gray area, judge! Thanks for giving an out to a person with no sense of boundaries!
However, I've spoken with law enforcement, and if he comes here and has no reason to be here, I can ask him to leave, and if he refuses, they can enforce the order and arrest him. He cannot use his daughter as an excuse for coming to my home because he has no visitation, but since he still has some of his belongings here, that could be considered a reason. The police officer suggested I send him an email, give him a reasonable amount of time to make arrangements (a week?), and then put his stuff on the porch. I plan to do this right after he is served.
No more playing nice.
Great plan in this. I applaud everything you're real life example of how you have to address things when there has been some judicial failings. I have found in my experience that cops really do want to help in these situations. You may get some legal grief for changing the locks. Hope not but I wouldn't be shocked at all. Being his legal residence would be my concern there. Doesn't mean don't change them. It's best for you.
I can't tell you you will sleep well but that will get better. In time. But hang tough, I am totally behind you in what you have done to think out the best outcome for yourself in this.
Get the ball moving, stay on target, and think safe like this. You can do this.
