Restraining order advice.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help with info about putting a restraining order in place (injonction d'éloignement).
Without going into too much detail, the partner of my mother-in-law physically grabbed my 15 year old daughter and pushed her to the ground on new years day (after attacking my husband with 2 pieces of wood, knocking both me and my mother-in-law to the ground).
My mother-in-law has now disowned my husband (her son), as he supports our daughter (of course!).
She has made contact with the mother of the best friend to our middle daughter (age 12), to see if she can arrange access at her (the friends mother) house!
Both our 15 and 12 year old want nothing to do with her (they witnessed the attack on my husband), we also have a 2 year old, who is obviously too young to give an opinion - I am worried she (mil) has a legal right to demand visits/contact!
She (mil) lives close to where our 12 year old daughter goes to college, I am also worried she will try to stalk her.
She (mil) is estranged from all other family (both her family and her deceased husbands family), my husband was the only member to put up with her (until now).
As I am British (hubby is French), what would be the quickest way to put a restraint in place (here or via the UK), does it have to go through courts or is there a simple way to do it?
There is zero chance of a reconciliation (as I said I don't want to go into detail, but she is a vile woman and I have only tolerated her due to her being my mother-in-law, husband feels a huge sense of relief now she is out of our lives - but is she?).
Thanks for reading, Mrs Frog x
Ps - please no nasty comments, I feel physically sick with stress and I'm also still grieving my mothers death 7 weeks ago.

As your OH is French, he's best placed to file a complaint against his mother's partner (Commissariat or Gendarmerie, depending on where you live), and a Court will likely put a restraining order against him.

indicates that your situation would also encourage a Judge to refuse to allow your children's grandmother access to them. Ensure that your daughter's friend's family refuses your mil's demands, and also inform their schools.
In any case you should consult an Avocat ASAP as it must be a Court decision...
Hope everything works out.
