How can we keep this info secret?

Speak to your lawyer, they should have the best advice for you going forward. But it sounds like you should be able to gain full custody and get a restraining order.

Get a epo ( emergency protective order) explain why you need it and they will not release your information. ( I am in Tx so I donā€™t know about where you are) file for emergency custody and explain to the courts why. You can do the paperwork your self also and turn it in to the court. Also get a lawyer so you dot your (I) and cross your (t). And that is a terroristic threat,

File a modification to get custody with supervised visits. The modification would need to include that she sign away some rights, not all, and the only way to do that is with her signature. You can get a restraining order put on her but thereā€™s not much you can do without a revised order. Talk to a lawyer about your options. You moving away may be enough for HER to put YOU in contempt because you didnā€™t ask permission from her or the court to move ā€œfurther away.ā€ My order states the same county or the counties touching the same county. If she does take you to court for contempt, then she can pull the kids back to the county the order is in without you. Courts donā€™t like taking kids away from both parents. And she can lie about her living conditions. The court system is messed up. Also, some court orders you have to tell the other parent who lives in the house with the kids. So she can bring that up too.

You need to get the courts, lawyers, and police involved. If there are already court documents (custody, visitation) you have to let her know their address. If you have proof of her threats (hopefully she sent texts or voicemail). Then file a restraining order for YOU AND the HOUSE, but honestly, unless you see her violating the order and call the police. But you do need the paperwork in place.

Give her the Opportunity to show her ass then record her dumb ass. File for full custody and get a restraining order against her after recording all her threats and psycho behavior.

U can have the court to restrict all that info

If you already know thatā€™s what she is going to do, LET HER!! Let her dig her own grave. When she shows up at the school causing problems, they will ask her to leave, call the police, or ban her depending on how bad she is. That will give you more ammunition to fight for full custody. Instead of putting all of my energy worrying about what she may or may not do, I would wait until it happens and use it against her. Put the energy into helping the kids.

You need to go to court and get legal custody with visitation rights for her until she can show that she can get back on her feet get some therapy because sheā€™s obviously not in a good place mentally or emotionally.

DO NOT LIVE IN FEAR OVER THIS WOMAN !! Let her know cause all she is going to do is give him more crap to gain a case against herself. I have been here with my ex husband he is a NARCISSIST, we lived in fear and hid out for almost two months because of his threats and finally I got sick of it. Now Iā€™m so happy with FULL custody of my kids that he no longer gets to see because of HIS actions and I am married to the greatest man ever now. I wish you the best BUT do not stop living yā€™allā€™s lives for her all she is going to do is hurt herself! Also save whatever proof of anything you can

Put cameras up and file a report with the local police. Unfortunately unless you have a court order stating that she canā€™t know where they go to school, you donā€™t really have a choice in that matter. She could even pick them up from school or visit them there if you donā€™t have a court order against her not to. And itā€™s not easy to get one. Good luck

Restraining order. It will be easy since she has no address. You will have to try to locate and serve but after a few tries, the notice gets put in the newspaper and if she doesnā€™t show up the judge will most likely grant it.
Once that is in place you can petition to have your home address confidential. However, a lawyer should be contacted to verify all legalities on your part to ensure youā€™re doing everything right.

Go to court and get full custody or at least temporary full custody, itā€™s not hard to do, depending on your state it costs about $75 to file for an ex parte (emergency full custody) if you have screenshots of the mother saying things like ā€œIā€™ll beat her upā€ or ā€œIā€™ll burn down your houseā€ youā€™ll be granted the ex parte within a week. Youā€™ll also recieve paperwork stating when the hearing is to reallocate Parental rights. If she doesnā€™t show to that hearing, youā€™re husband/boyfriend, whatever will be granted permanent full custody and youā€™ll never have to include her again.

With the internet these days nothing is private anymore. If she wants to she can find you pretty easily especially if you bought a houseā€¦thatā€™s all public record. If she has joint custody youā€™re BF could be in contempt of a court order by keeping information from her. Thereā€™s nothing you can do, youā€™re not married but your BF could file for full custody with supervised visitsā€¦do it while she is homeless!

Whatever you do, consider that making the kids keep secrets from their mom is going to hurt them immensely, for years to come. Try to do things the ā€œright wayā€ as best you can, so the burden is not on them to protect your interests.
Iā€™m not ignoring the fact that its hard. You should consult with a lawyer and see what can be done legally. You dont neccesarily have to hire the lawyer, just do a consultation and see what options are availae to you.

Sadly, your address will be public record since you purchased a home. Its recorded in the land records at the clerk of courtā€™s office. A restraining order is needed asap.

your address is public info. itā€™s extremely easy to find anyoneā€™s address

Well your man needs to take care of this. Your not married and havenā€™t been together very long. You have no legal rights here to keep her from knowing where her kids live and go to school. Thats just a fact and itā€™s not saying her actions are OK either. I wouldnā€™t want her to know where I live either. She sounds like sheā€™s probably a drug addict and needs help. Your man is her kids father and he is the only one that can take her to court for anything to do with the kids. You can try to get a restraining order for yourself and your own kids but he needs to deal with that stuff for his kids. He should take her to court and file for full custody and supervised visits for her until she can fix her life and be the mother her kids deserve. I think it would be terrible to be a mother and have no idea where my kids live or what school they go to

If she threatened to burn down a place with not only her kids but other kids and you have proof of it. Take it to a lawyer threatening child endangerment, arson, potential murder. That along with the fact shes homeless would be plenty to get full custody. At the very least emergency custody and a restraining order against her till you can get full custody

Get a security system like ring that will let you know if someone is present, and have him go back for adjusted custody. If the threats are written, make sure you make copies. record ALL conversations.

Thatā€™s tricky
First of all which parent has full legal custody?

Even though she may not be a good mom
She is still their mother
And she should be allowed to know what is going on with her kids and where they are going to school
Unless there are court orders stating otherwise

I would encourage the kids dad (and only the dad)
To apply for full custody
Or to have a mediation session so he and the mother can work out an arrangement reg their kids

I get that you love his kids and thatā€™s great
But at the end of the day itā€™s not your decision as to whatā€™s best for their kids
(Sorry to be so blunt)
Only they or the court can do that
Granted you have been living with their father for over a year but doesnā€™t actually mean you are their step mother
You are really only his girlfriend
Sadly you need to stay out of it and let them sort out whatā€™s best for the kids

Sounds like dad has grounds for emergency full custody and have his day in court for child abandonment, no suitable living conditions, etc. shouldnā€™t be an issue in getting full custody of all his kids and getting them stabilized and in a complete healthy living situation with home and school - if he doesnā€™t step up to the plate for them regardless of how she feels no one will and he risks the chance that she will do something really stupid and cause the kids to go into state custody - go to court get full custody and get those babies in a good healthy home environment and forget the threats she is just mad at herself bc she canā€™t or wonā€™t do it for them - the law will be on your side.

This situation canā€™t be easy on anyone. If you all have had the kids full time for 8 months then you SO needs to go to court get everything written in legal form. That is the only way you all can start a new life and the kids get stability. Co-parenting is best for kids if they are not being abused in any way, and the adults can be adults not using the children to hurt or get back at the other adult. So this is something you and your SO need to decide what is best for the children not the adults but the children!! Good luck I hope things turn around for you all. Always remember children deserve to come first, to be loved, protected and as parents they did not ask to be in this situation so itā€™s up to the ADULTS to give them the best life possible!

Sheā€™s homeless itā€™s probably so easy to earn full custody right now more than ever

I would avoid telling her the school, but one of the kids might say something or even give her the address of your home, once they learn it. I woukd fight for dull custody.

Um, unless you need her for something this is the type of person you cut out completely. Move schools. Go zero contact. She is scary!
