I need a Missouri-licensed attorney (or supervised paralegal) who can move quickly to prepare and file an Order of Protection that also secures temporary custody of my daughter until the Family Access Order hearing on October 19th. Here is the situation. After a recent argument, my ex-wife and her adult daughter posted my home address online, spread multiple false accusations, and sent threatening messages from several phone numbers. Police have been involved, and I can supply the reports. I have saved every text, voicemail, and call log that documents these threats. My daughter is now afraid to speak with me whenever she is at her mother’s house. On my court-ordered parenting days, my ex hides her and ignores calls—even those from officers conducting welfare checks. A prior petition for protection was denied because it did not include the custodial component; this filing must correct that. What I need from you • Draft a comprehensive Petition for Order of Protection that covers both the harassment/threats and a temporary custody arrangement. • File the petition in the correct Missouri circuit court and ensure prompt service on the respondents. • Advise me on any emergency ex parte relief we can request so my daughter remains with me until the October hearing. Evidence available on request: police incident numbers, screenshots of messages, phone logs, plus a detailed timeline I have compiled. I am prepared to sign affidavits, appear for any hearings, and cover filing fees immediately. Speed and accuracy are critical; please outline your expected timeline for drafting, filing, and securing a hearing date when you reply.
