Yes baby u did the right thing. Go file a restraining order. Do what u have to even if u have to go to DHS for help. Nothing in this world is more important than u and those 3 babies. He will do it again no matter how much he promises to change. Never take him back there are other ways and if nothing else u get u and them babies to a battered womens shelter. Go to ur local legal aid for help with the divorce ur part will be free I'm sure. Then have child support taken out thru CSED and they will automatically take it out of his check every month no matter where he works. I have been thru it and no one should ever have to go thru what we have. If u ever need to talk i'll be around...char
