So, I went to court on Monday for a paternity hearing and child support order. I was there but my ex didnt show. The judge, knowing that my ex has made a habit of not showing. put a temporary order in place for 50$ a month.
This evening I recieved a phone call. When I answered... my ex was on the other end...he said this to me...
You f-----g B---h! You are going to make me loose my f-----g house! You are going to make me loose my f-----g job! You f-----g b---h! Im going to hunt you down and f-----g kill you , you stupid B---H!
and then he hung up.
The scariest part Id that I have 3 current orders of protection against him and he has a very violent past with me. I called the police and made a report but the thing is is that they have to wait until Monday in order to find out his address from the family courts! He is being charged with a class E felony when they find him. Im feaking out and Im not sure what to do at this point...do I pack up my home and once again move? Im getting my phone # changed for the 4th time! I dont have any clue how he keeps getting it...it unlisted and not in my name!
What should I do? Has anyone out there been through anything similar?
second you do what you have to do , to protect ur child and urself.. even if you have to hide out for a while.. find a friend or relative u can stay with so ur not alone.. change ur number.. and stay safe i'm praying for you
I would suggest that you gather up your paperwork (protection orders) and your family and go someplace safe until Monday. Or park yourself at the police station with the paperwork in hand (and family). You have a history here - 3 current orders - please don't take any chances...
Stay safe and keep us posted when you get the chance.
He has no drivers license...he lost it from DWI's. He doesnt own a home. I dont know where he works. I dont know why they have to wait until Monday, thats just what I was told.
I dont know where he lives ...except for the city name.
I havent heard from him in over a year and then out of the blue....here he goes again!

sweety,
Take him very serious,I spent two days in a bus station in hopes he would find me..he did and in front of our children.beat me so bad no one know me to look at me. 31 days recovering..and to this day my kids mention it from time to time...threats real or not...do it for yourself and children...be safe,rather than sorry...
I'll pray for your safety sweety,,,go somewhere in public in a group..till Monday.....chance....
Failing that, do you have someone who can stay with you? The bigger and hairier, the better (vice are often big and hairy).
Keep a journal by the phone, if you can't record the calls. Note the time and date and content. If something further goes to court - records can be retrieved by the police service from the phone company. Proof he's called you.
If I can think of anything else, I'll post it - message me if you wish - we'll talk further.
This might be the wimpy route to go, but I took the wimpy route. Screw the money, screw him, leave it alone. I'm sure you'd pay $50 for some peace of mind right now. $50 will barely feed a kid for a week.
I know you deserve any nickel out of him, but at some point, a comfortable life has GOT to come first.
In the meantime...all the above. I hope you phoned the police after the threat was made. Although I'm with Dix, don't count on them.
If you're antigun, at least have some mace stashed in several places.
Let surrounding neighbors vaguely know the situation so they can watch out for you.
AND by all means, plan for the worst as stupid as it sounds. Is there a back door to bail out of should he show up. Pound the hell outta the walls if you're in an apartment. Stay off the phone and radio low while you're driving, pay attention to who's driving beside you. Don't even go Krogering alone.
Been in your place, I feel for you, just be vigilant.
I went through this with my ex..."beter sleep with one eye open..." There were at least 14 messeges.... Did you save them? Hope so. Make another report...
Last summer when we stalked, I went to women's crisis. I filed al appropriate papers..
He had no adress,or phone...jusy the way he liked it. That way he could do whatever he wished and couldn't be served...
However, go to a womens crisis...report again.. There has to be some trace. Until then, if you have a dead bolt...and extra locks, use them! keep a phone near you, tell neighbors...anyone that might be there for you.
i have never been through this but my prayers are with you and yours hun
only let those who "HAVE" to know where you are know go to police as much as needed and if they do nothing talk to super. and keep on them about this hun
Geez, I'll be back here all day remembering stuff.
STOP using your address of residency on ANYthing. Even court documents and service papers. It's not required. You can use your parents or friend's addy, or get a POBox for $30 a year.
In Ohio, a noncustodial parent has to file through the courts to get the address of residency of their own children.
Thank you all for your ideas and support. Since there is ahistory of violence with him, I already had deadbolts installed on my doors when I move to the house I am in now. I have told my neighbors vaugly about the situation and the cops are patrolling my home from what I understand(Im not there right now). He called again last night before I could leave and like an idiot I just grabbed the phone..thinking it was my friend whos home I was on the way too. He once again threatened my life. I once again phone the police.
I have been told that once he is arested that I will be notified immeditally.
My children are safe. Im a wreck...but thanks again for all your support.
