You can file for it, but you have to convince a judge to agree with you. However, if the person you are restrained from is seeking you out and/or harassing you, you absolutely need to contact the court for advice. But if you simply want to file a restraining order against them just because they filed one against you, you won't convince the judge.

my husband received a restraining order today and was told to stay away from child care. the child care provider said my husband could go pick him up that he has just as much rights as the mother does, If I his wife go the the sitters house and get the truth about what she said and recorded her then as I'm walking away tell her that she was being recorded will I be in trouble for recording our conversation ?

(in the US) Probably not, but ANYBODY can sue ANYONE for ANYTHING. If you apply for a restraining order you will have to convince the court that the legal requirements for issuing one have been met. If you meet the legal requirements for having one issued, then you should have nothing to worry about.

ON THE OTHER HAND - if you lie and commit perjury in order to get the order issued, being sued by the other party will be the least of your worries.

Yes. It will be up to a judge whether your civil action has any merits to proceed with it.

No, but you can file for your own separate restraining order too if you have proof that you have been abused.
