He brags on Facebook about hitting his last wife. He is still the same man that I was with years ago. I was foolish enough to believe he changed. I talked to his last wife when they were together and she said that things were better there. That he walks away instead of hitting her. Found that out to be crap by looking at his facebook. I should have seen it was just for court and he really didn't change any of his ways. It was just for show. But anyway, this website is bull. You can sit there and judge me on my ONE mistake, but each of you that replied don't seem to get what I say about him. He doesn't take care of my daughters. His mother does. I thank god for her being there. As for his mother, she is afraid of him. He is violent. Stupid me believed the lies. He broke his own grandmother's
arm by shoving her down, so forget this. He's been in more fights than anyone I've ever known.

Okey-dokey, but please post back after your appointment on the 19th.

Please feel free to continue to vent on the forum, but the fact remains that you haven't posted anything that you can prove makes your ex unfit or a danger to the children. Hopefully, your attorney will know how to get the evidence needed to prove your allegations. Perhaps some of the people you've mentioned would agree to testify.

At any rate, good luck.
 


Mom, I am not trying to bring you down, but you really made a mess of this. If Dad was such a bad guy, you should have protected your girls by not using drugs. It is your own fault that they are in his care. Your girls are now suffering for your actions and there is not much you can do about it except help them cope.

Can I please get some more thoughts on my case? If this isn't grounds for emergency custody, is it grounds to modify custody? What are my chances? DFCS case is the only thing against me. Have been told by 2 lawyers, that know my back history, that I have more than enough to move forward with modifying the custody. I do not know much about emergency custody and I just wanted to get some opinions before I talk to my lawyer about it.

OhioGal is an Attorney/Gardian Ad Litum that deals with these issues everyday in court. But if you have an attorney then nothing we say here should matter more that s/he advises.

Although I will say that it seems rather strange that you chose meth as your starter drug.:rolleyes:

Another thing about him watching them, my oldest shaved her bangs off a few months ago at his house. He just found out in December when she was at her ex step mothers and the step mothers friend was doing her hair. I know you're going to say that I should have told him, but I've been suspicious about how good he is at watching them and paying attention to them. I wanted to test him and see how long it took before he noticed. He only found out by being told by his ex. This is not a reason to take them from him, I know this. Just wanted to share how "good" of a father he is and how much attention he pays to his daughters. The problem with here and court, nobody knows him that matters. I can get on stand and talk about when he beat my ass, or how he beat up his pregnant wife, or how many drugs he's been on, or how many times he's been arrested, the people he hangs out w/, but none of it would matter when I only have evidence of some of it, as in his arrests. When I was still with him, he said he would be the one to smoke weed with my daughters, because you never know what you're getting. It could be laced. I will remember that to my dying day. Especially now that my daughters told me what he said to them. You think I'm full of ****, come meet him.

And yet you decided to start a meth addiction with your hubby which caused your children to be placed in DCF care.

:rolleyes:

I guess it must really depend on where you're located. My ex-husband somehow managed to get an emergency hearing with absolutely no proof other than an affidavit written by his wife and himself. And he's moving half way across the country. He's not even submitting any evidence other than an email and an affidavit! The basis of his case is that my husband got a DUI and suddenly the added domestic violence in there. There no domestic violence or any proof of it. I'm not really sure how any of this constitutes an emergency hearing....but maybe because he's moving out of state on Thursday and he's grasping at straws? So i guess from a lawyer's stand point it would be no but as someone who has this happening to them, I suppose it's possible. But I would really see if there is an attorney in your area that does a free consultation. I think a Guardian Ad Litem would be an asset if you do decide to do a full fledge case.

(Any reason you're responding to a month-old thread?)

(And with information that has nothing whatsoever to do with OP's situation?)

No worries - it's just that the OP hasn't been back (so necroposting isn't encouraged) and, more often than not, comparing case histories from different states confuses the issue because the laws can vary so much by state.

It's great that you want to help - truly! - but sometimes it's just best to read the threads themselves :)

(Happy Superbowl, btw folks!)

Neither Pro or I have a degree in law. Just do not post to old and NON-ACTIVE threads. Also refrain from posting UNLESS what you are saying is pertinent to the OP State and situation.

Since the thread is already "out there"...Yeah. I have enough chicken wings, shrimp, chips, chili and other assorted crap food to feed an army. I'm gonna open my apartment door to neighbors otherwise we will be eating this stuff for a week! :eek::p
