What can I ask the court to do to keep my wife from harassing me regarding the custody of our children?.
About 2 years ago my ex-wife was denied taking my children to relocate with her from NH to FL. I have been to court now 3times for frivolous reasons and she has called the DHHS which investigation has come back “unfounded”. I have my third hearing in 2 years on Monday and I need to know what to ask the court to do about the harassing and ill fated attempts she is making to continue to get the children into her custody?

In this country everyone has the consitutional right to be left alone and not be harassed by some person. If your former wife continues to make contact with you to the point where you consider the type of contact and manner of delivery uncomfortable and distressing, you can file a petition with the court seeking a restraining order against her.
You should have an attorney who has a lot of experience in family law matters and retraining orders assist you in any petition for a retraining order. You would submit declarations in support of the petition filed with the court which your former wife most likely would respond to with her own court filings. The court will then review its file and the pleadings on the petition for the restraining order and issue a ruling.
Good luck.
