This situation seems bizarre and convoluted to me. I also think we're missing some critical information. Restraining orders aren't handed out because someone got sweettalked into oral sex, regardless of whether or not there was a toddler in the next room or even present. Restraining orders are for people who are acting inappropriately aggresive towards those that take out the aforementioned restraining orders.
So you're missing a piece of the puzzle there for sure. Something else happened that you don't know about or haven't mentioned.
I point this out because that something else could be critical.
The choices are "court involvement" or "no court involvement". It seems to me that they tried the latter and it didn't work. Now the mother is trying the former. It's an either/or situation, so I really don't see another option.
Either the mother can talk the father out of custody and paying support or she can't. Again, it seems like an either/or to me without more information.
