How can we keep this info secret?

My SO and I have been together just under 2 years now. He has 4 kids and I have 1. We have had all kids full time for 8 months now. BM sees the kids a few hours here and there during the week as she is homeless due to her own actions. We just recently purchased a house in which we are not able to tell her the address because she threatens to find it and burn it down. She also says if she finds out he moved me in then she was going to beat me up. Mind you we’ve lived together for a year and a half now. With this move it has put us further away and I have to bring thing to school daily. We’ve talked about switching their school but the only reason we haven’t is she will then need to know which school they are going to. Is there a way we can avoid telling her which school district they are in without full legal custody? It’s not fair to but any of the kids in this situation. We have to live in constant fear she’s going to lose it and find our place.

If you have a court order then no you have to tell her best advice get cameras from top to bottom of your home inform the school that your home address ect is to be sealed records and not to be shared with anyone unless you give Consent get that in writing :writing_hand: third you need to keep all text ect for court and you need to go back and get full custody if it’s really this bad or you need to file a restraining order for her and you that would keep her away from your home

As their legal mother, she has access to where they go to school and where their doctor is, do a without notice protection order, her threats should be enough to get one.

Everyone has already said what I was going to

You can get a non molestation in order but also if it goes to court about her and kids etc they even say serial killers are allowed reports from the school about kids eduction so she can be entitled to that also make sure you have residency order in place to confirm the kids live with you both and with non molestation order to have kids school on there so she can’t go near there if you have it all in black and white you need to report it as well to the police.

If she is homeless that is enough right there for her to loose custody… I would report her to the courts and seek full custody. In the mean time you should be able to get emergency custody and a protective order.

File in court but that is public record so she could look up your address on the court doc s or public record docs
File a restraint order then she can’t have your address. Threats have to be said directly to you. Threats have to be within 6 months.
Change there school district they already been living with u guys full time for 8 months.
But as their bio mother she has rights to school records
But with a parenting plan she can’t just pick them up on her non parenting days

This is the only way to live a non drama life
And don’t share ur address to anyone either

He needs to get full legal custody. She has no home and is unstable…she shouldn’t have a legal say about school. If she’s threatening to burn your house down and physically beat you than get an RO and ordered supervised visits at a visitation center.

Sounds as if she hasn’t had much of a choice and is losing all control and lashing out. Is it not an option to perhaps try and approach her with compassion and be kind enough to try and help her know better so that she can do better so as to work with her for a healthier relationship and so that her children can still have her in their lives😔

Just know that with restraining orders, you must renew them every year, 2 weeks before they expire. If it’s a stalking order, it’s permanent.

“Have to bring thing to school?” Who’s thing?

Petition for a restraining order as she has threatened to burn the house down which is a danger to the children and she has also threatened to harm you. Hopefully you have proof of the threats. If granted with the children included then she cannot have access to the children and would be prohibited from seeing the children and/or picking them up. You can go to the nearest magistrate and request one which is typically for 72 hours, or go straight the courts for family and juvenile and request one there. From there one should be granted did 2 weeks in where you will have to return to court to obtain the permanent one. That’s how it’s done in VA. Hopefully that helps

I’d advise getting a lawyer. Have him get full custody, show proof of everything. Her being homeless, barely seeing the kids, doing absolutely nothing. If she isn’t working. All of it. File for emergency full custody

If you have proof she’s threatening your home and the kids live there that’s grounds for fearing she is a danger to them. File an OP get permission from the court to keep your address undisclosed if she is threatening your well being or the lives of you or the kids which by threatening to burn your house down…you have merit to believe she might… You could let the judge know the kids are unaware as you don’t want to paint her in poor light but she isn’t stable.

If she wrote the threats to you about burning your house down, get a restraining order and call CPS and report her. Just because he lives with you, she is still legally responsible for him. You can walk away today and never look back. She’s still legally obligated and responsible for her kid. Threatening his home is child endangerment. She can lose her rights if she isn’t careful “playing with fire”. Smh. She should be ashamed of herself. How is she even threatening someone else when she can’t even take care of herself :rofl::woman_facepalming:t2:. The dumb is real with this one.

Go through the courts because if you don’t you will make it much harder to get legal custody. Do it the proper way. You might do it all in secrecy and then one of the kids will tell their mum where they stay and what school they are in eventually as kids talk a LOT!! Go through the proper channels and any text messages etc, show the lawyer and police. Good luck x

Her threats alone are enough for an order of protection and emergency custody of the children now. That will buy you time to move their schools without notifying her for yours and their safety until you have the custody hearing.

If it comes down to the safety of the children, see if you can get a court order or something that disallows her that information! Coz bugger that!!

Your partner needs to file for emergency custody and eventually get full custody. If she’s going on about hurting you and burning a house that kids live in then she is a risk to the whole family including all the kids.

Are you doing this without him having full legal custody? He needs to speak with a lawyer asap bc this is a big deal. As their mother and without her parenting rights being stripped she has the right to know where the kids attend school and actually the school can’t stop her from removing them. He really really should’ve ran all of this before a lawyer before just making decisions.

As for your side you need to file for a restraining order.

He also needs to look at what his court order says. He may have to notify her where he is moving to and if is if such and such distance will have to amend the current court order. It is a lot of work and really should be seeking legal advice and not people on the internet. Each and every state has different laws. Each and every court order parenting plan is different as well.

Sounds like clear boundaries need to be set which or may include getting the courts involved. I can’t imagine living in chaos for a year and a half. If she has no house for the children, she is not a threat, right now. If you guys wanted to establish something permanent, this might be the best time to do it.

BM is homeless… legit or just staying with friends or family? If she is homeless on the streets - frankly, very little the courts will be able to do because there won’t be any way to officially “serve” her. Been there, done that. Install a security system, alert your local PD and PDs in your kids’ districts, file for a protective order … and then call her bluff. I feel a bit differently than most about a situation like this. I feel BM is angry, hurt and jealous… you feed her power from your fear. Stop fearing her, force your will to do what’s right by your collective kids.

Get an order of protection for all family members. In my state (GA) if you have 50/50 AND the right to decide education, you can switch the children’s school without recourse BUT the other parent has to know which school.

Have a good (not Wi-Fi based) security system installed at your new home and blink makes VERY affordable cameras for indoor and outdoor. Make sure all of the perimeter of your home is covered.

I wouldn’t keep anything a secret! I would make it known where we live, change the kids schools and I would also make it known that if she comes anywhere near your house, the police will be involved.

In the mean time, I would be taking the current threats she has made and any documentation to the courts. File for emergency custody and a restraining order. She will still be able to see the kids, but your significant other would have legal custody and she wouldn’t be permitted around your house. If she violates the protective order, she will then have a home, in county jail. Protect you and yours at all costs!

Idk maybe it’s just me but first thing that popped out to me was she said the homelessness was her own doings… why make a point to say that?
Are you the home wrecker and he threw her to the curb not giving a damn about the mother of his children? :thinking: I’d be a psycho at that point too :woman_shrugging:

Security cameras, ring light, house alarm as well as weapons throughout the house that the kids cannot get to. File that protection and full custody order (they can only do so much) yall protect your babies. Dare her to try yall. Think about them fuck her lol change the school and if she find out, she find out. People that talk about shit, never about shit…so i doubt she will do anything.

I’m shocked at the line "I have to bring thing to school " I’m really hoping its a typo but if not calling a child a thing is disgraceful

She can’t do anything when it comes to her kids because she is homeless. She doesn’t have an address so she can’t have kids and you can’t notify her of address because she doesn’t have one. You need to register the kids where they physically live at or he can lose the kids himself. Wherever the kids live at and go to school at is legal and binding in court. Do what you have to do and get a restraining order and call the police on her if you have to. Your boyfriend needs to step up and protect you and the children!

Is there any kind of court order in place yet? If there is both parties have to follow the terms or you can be taken to court and held in contempt for violating those terms. I would look at the paperwork if their is an order and place and contact a lawyer to have it modified. Also it sounds like this woman may have mental health or substance abuse issues and needs some help- that could also be addressed with the lawyer. Document everything. They may possibly be able to set up regular visitation at a visitation center or another family members house. Depending on where you live and if that options available.
