Question about OFP and Divorce Agreement

So I just got the copy of my Order For Protection. It has already been signed by a notary and I have court on Friday for it. In it it says that STBXH is to have supervised visitation, not restricted.

I met with my lawyer on Friday and he is having me come in Monday to sign the paperwork and then STBXH will get served the divorce papers in jail. In our agreement visitation is completely restricted until he is released from jail and takes me to court in which I will have a process he has to go through before seeing the children. I know with STBXH's horribly violent and extensive background I will get what I want. Not to mention he can't afford a lawyer. My lawyer STRONGLY suggested restricting visitation and not even giving him supervised in our case. (STBXH threatened to kill DS)

So my question is, my divorce agreement will end up filed after my OFP court date. Would that mean visiting is then restricted since it is in the divorce agreement or do I have to have my OFP changed to match? I am not sure how this works and can't call anyone until Monday. Just curious if anyone here would know. I really don't want to get screwed over and STBXH end up having visitation due to the OFP.

    I'm not sure, I am sorry.  Sounds like you'll have to wait until Monday to clarify but ITA with your lawyer.  The threat against DS, do whatever it takes to restrict visitation.  I would seriously fight that with everything you have.  I worry so much about situations like this.  There was a story on Dr. Phil where the a father who was abusive ended up taking his life and his 9 month old son's life.  YOu don't want to be in that situation.  Know your rights and protect your child.

    Sorry hun I don't have advice for this. I do know that even if your married you can get an OFP. And that even though your going through a divorce the OFP will stay otherwise be reinstated. Anyways hunny, I'm here for you. I love you and love the pics of handsome little Roman.

    Yep, you sure can. My lawyer advised I get one even before the divorce proceedings. It is valid for 2 years. I am calling Monday to have the OFP changed to restricted visitation just in case so no one can use it against me.
