I’m seeking advice about what might happen with my ex, who has been charged with three counts of violating an Order of Protection (OP). Here’s what happened:

  1. Unauthorized Calls Through OFW: The OP requires all communication to be through the Our Family Wizard (OFW) app, specifically with the ai tone meter feature enabled. The main incident occurred when she called our son on his watch phone to tell him to relay a last-minute change in the exchange location. This caused significant distress for our son, who has autism. When we arrived at the original court-approved location (a police station), she ignored his attempts to call her back and instead repeatedly called me through OFW, further violating the OP.
  2. Unauthorized Email Communication: She emailed me directly, copying a third party she claimed was my childs healthcare provider. This person, however, isn’t licensed in the U.S. and promotes non-court-ordered treatments. The email included unnecessary pressure for me to pay for these treatments, adding emotional strain during a time when stability is critical for my health.
  3. Unauthorized Property Demands: She demanded property items through OFW, despite the OP explicitly stating that property disputes must be handled through attorneys.

These incidents might sound small on their own, but they’re part of a broader pattern of disregarding boundaries. The OP was issued after domestic violence incidents. She challenged the OP in court, but it was upheld. She even tried to file an OP against me, but the judge dismissed it before I could testify.

I feel bad because she’s the mother of my children, but she consistently disregards boundaries. I have a chronic disease, diagnosed PTSD (from her) that make stress a serious health risk. Her actions continue to undermine the stability I’ve tried to create for myself and my children.

The arraignment is in a few weeks, and I’m nervous about whether she’ll just get a slap on the wrist or face more serious consequences.

Does anyone have experience with something like this?

How is this likely going to go?
