Looking for advice on protective orders
domestic violence attorney Indiana Aug 1, 2026
Location: Indiana So I am pregnant and my fiancé’s baby mom is constantly making threats towards me it was almost always over the phone till just recently she finally sent one through text. Only issue is it’s to my fiancé and not me. I’m wondering if I can get a protective order on me and my unborn child as her most recent threat was “She lays another hand on my child she probably won't even get to keep the one she's carrying in her stomach.” When she is saying “lays another hand on my child” she is talking about spanking. I have never hit the children in an abusive way I have only disciplined them in the way that their dad has said too. Their dad has full custody legal and physical after their mom got arrested for domestic battery she got out about a month ago on a plea deal. Also she has been telling the children that she will make me regret ever touching them and that she is going to spank my butt. I’m not sure if she actually said either but due to her past behavior and that this came from a 5 year old who I personally don’t believe would just make that up. Im sure she has said something along either those lines. But anyways if you have any advice on what I should do at this point I’d very much appreciate it. I do have her blocked on all social media currently.
