Getting Restraining Order for BM Asking for $ for Adult Stepchild

Does anyone know if you can get a restraining order against BM? She keeps askding for $ for SS21 - who is bi-polar and a herion addict. We paid plenty so far for rehab and sober living but he continues to relaspe so DH said enough (she has not paid a penny). DH only agreed to pay for health insurance and he cell phone. BM now wants us to pay for another sober living place.

She does not go away. We are not paying any more.

Can you get a restraining order to make her stop?

I think the BEST you might be able to do is press charged for hassassment.. only after you ask BM (in writing) to stop calling/texting/emailing you. Then you would need to document every call/text/email and I think it would still be questionable as she is contacting DH about their child?? If you successfully press charges for hassassment and the police get involved, and she still continues, then you might have grounds to pursue a restraining order but right now it's pretty far fetched IMHO

The thing is she does not call to discuss the well being of their son. She only calls looking for money. BM calls after the fact - puts in a rehab program then called to say what DH owes. Same as when SS21 got arrested. BM only called to say DH had to pay his fine!

If DH wants to know what is going on he calls the doctors himself. BM only looking for cash for decision SHE has made. Not joint decisions.

File harrassement charges then let the system deal with her. Put her on the call block list for your home and cell phones and move on.

IMHO of course.

Good luck.

Finey - hospital bills and prescription bills DH is paying - all medical deductible bills DH is paying 100% - but not obligated to. BM wants him to pay for sober living - this is not medical.
