if she does then would they (the court) ask to talk or get proof from me or him if she lies and says something else

Answer 1

I'm not from Ohio so i dont know what the law there are but a restraining order is something done in domestic violance court and would only be if he hurt you or come on your mother's property without her permission which would restrain him from the residance but i'm sure she can't take one out on your behalf.  

Answer 2

wow..thats tough.

I don't know much about the law but I would think you should get a little say in this. Well unless you have to be 18.

Why don't you talk to your mom about not going through with this?

It does sound like she could not get one on HIM bc you snuck over there one night. Did you brake the law somehow? You will have to take that into consideration. If you did not I doubt. Unless she lies.

Answer 4

im pretty sure she can only put a restraining order on him if he did something like threaten you or put you in danger or if you got arrested with him. but dont let a restraining order keep you from him. just tell ur mom to go ****  herself nd that if she puts a restraining order on him that you will go to jail beacuse you will violate it. and mabe she will rethink it b/c she dont want you in jail nd have to pay ur court costs.

Answer 5

Well, she can file a complaint to the police and state that he is aiding in the delinquency of a minor. When he turns 18 he could go to jail if he violated a court order.

In some states the parents have little say once a child turns 16.

What you need to do is stop the arguing with your mother. Act like a good little robot around her. Say 'Yes, no, ok, thank you, please, whatever you say, etc...'. Be very polite and go out of your way to do everything she asks; do whatever she says. Do not break curfew, be home when she asks, call if you are going to be late, do things without being told. Ok, if you are still reading this; she will start to have a change of mind. Don't sneak out again! He could be arrested and tried as an adult for aiding in the delinquency of a minor. If you really care about him you will be careful. When he turns 18 it can be worse. Yes, your mother could lie and try to charge him with something he didn't do. The issue is that he will have an arrest record and he will have to hire an attorney to defend himself. Even if the judge dismisses the charges for lack of evidence it will be there in his record; which could affect his future if he wanted to work for the city or government. How much of this c**p will he take before he says this is too much drama?

So, maybe you need to suck up to your mom until she stops freaking out. You know what she is afraid of; right? She's afraid of you getting in trouble. She looks at you as her little girl and she is trying to protect you. She doesn't know him the way you do. does she have any reason to think that he would hurt you? Well, you broke her rules. You were grounded and you went against her and snuck out to see him.

You need to change your behavior and she may change her mind.

Otherwise you will be writing him letters in jail.

sorry im not sure but i relly hope things work out for you im sorry i dont no anything about this...! but i dont think she can get a restraining order against him FOR you... she oculd for her but i dont think she can make one for you, or i dont think the'll make on over just u too meeting without telling her :P i do that all the time lmao im 14 :P dont worry! i dont think anything will happen

Answer 7

You'r mom can only get a restraning order against him if he is a danger to you or her and she has to prove that. The most that she can really do is file an "At risk youth petition" against you that will send you to juvy if you disobey her. Tell your boyfriend to show up to the court hearing so that he can defend himself or the restraining order will be granted!

Answer 8

I don't think she can, he didn't do anything illegal...

But since your a minor I think you have to listen to her

Answer 9

Statutory Rape it is called..Sorry....but your Mom can get him put in jail....PRISON.....HUGS!!  Be careful!!!

Answer 10

She would need proof that hes a threat. So she can try but probably won't get it. After hes 18 it will be no problem tho. He will go to jail if he comes near you then.  

Answer 11

NO , a restraining order is an order of protection. if one is threatened etc. Now when he turns 18, they can go after him for dating a minor if you 2 are active. I think you need to express to your mom that this was your doing, not his, You snuck out, not him. Maybe she needs to get to know him better. You need to face the music for what oyu did wrong. She is pissed cause she loves you and worried about you. You scared her. She just doesn't want you to make mistakes, like get pregnant etc. It's all out of love and her protecting you. Maybe if you tell truth and handle things better you would nlt be in this situation that YOU have created. She is an parent and it is her job to parent you , not to be your best friend.
