I and many other men have been, and are the victims of spurious or vindictively motivated restraining orders; all which is necessary to obtain a restraining order, under the current law is an UNSUBSTANTIATED, accusation of abuse, or claim of fear of potential abuse, no matter how outlandish or bizarre. NO PROOF is needed or asked for, and the man is automatically assumed to be guilty, and is thrown out of his home, deprived of his children and property, with no recourse but a very short Hearing sometime in the future, and there is NO PENALTY for lying to the court in order to deliberately injure another person, and no provision is made for accusations made by the mentally ill. The violence against women act is a good law, but is out of balance and dangerous to many innocent men, who are often unaware that the order has been filed until the police show up to throw them out of their home. Penalties must be added for lying to the courts to obtain false restraining orders, in order to deliberately and falsely injure another party. We the people of the United States of America, demand that our Lawmakers address this gross inequity in the law and redress the wrongs done by ensuring that the abuses will be stopped and that deliberate abuses will be punished by law.

My ex wife just took everything from me kids, car, home, lost my job over completely false allegations. I have no record what so ever and the wife has a family history of mental illness. At age 35 sadly im living with my parents till i can rebuild. im not allowed to see my daughter but have to pay 900$ a month for child support. she has also convinced my daughter that i dont care about her. women are the abusers.

I've been a victim of false allegations by a mentally ill woman to gain an advantage in child custody case even though I filed for custody first and the false claim came 2 weeks later. I've been removed from my home, forced to pay child support and haven't been allowed to see our take care of my 2 children. They are the true victims here. There is no due process, evidence or Constitutionality in this process.

Have been unable to see my child for over 4 months over an argument where there was NO physical violence. Currently the court has continued no contact as a condition of probation over again an incident where there was NO physical contact to my girlfriend or daughter. Thank God for American courts and being innocent till proven guilty......

Victim of P.O. abuse. Despite overwhelming evidence I had done nothing wrong I was hauled into court and slapped with a two year restraining order. My daughter lied first to a magistrate and then a judge I had no recourse, could do nothing about this lie except comply.

I recently lost my battle and now have a restraining order. My neighbor's boyfriend has been harassing me for months, telling me I need to go back down-under (I'm Australian, but recently obtained my US Citizenship) After he attacked me with a lawnmower he filed a restraining order on me.. He and his girlfriend proceeded to lie to the court and despite the fact I had witnesses and photos of their harassment the judge sided with them. There needs to be something in place so people can be protected from such sick people.

Restraining order laws are dangerous and unfair to not only men but women too! My estranged son-in-law filed one on my daughter claiming she was a drug abuser and neglected her children. Courts gave him temp custody. He abused my daughter for the 8 years of marriage, verbal, emotional, and financial.He showed pictures taken 2 years before of certain messes in the house (most caused by him for photo shoot.He didn't parent at all until he started preparing for the divorce. He is a narcissist and will do anything to win.we have already spent $5000 to debunk his accusations. We have proof of no support of her and her children during the marriage and witnesses to the abuse. s

Close to the sponsors problem. Dated a woman for a year, was great when she was on her meds, not so when she decides to stop. She thinks she is better, meds stop, falls apart, goes back on meds, rinse, and repeat.
