What is the name of your state?Texas
At my final divorce hearing, I was told to bring all documentation of spousal and child abuse for admittance. When I presented it before the judge, my attorney hushed me and told me to put it away. Now I am having severe problems, my abusive husband is demanding full custody of my children. (Because he didn't pay child support, I had to come to Utah to have my parents help out as well as a family emergency with my grandmother who I am helping.) So this man is taking me to court because I am in economic hardship, and he is fighting to get custody of my children. I was told I can't bring up any abuse that happened before the divorce, although there is enough that happened after the divorce. There is a CPS record of abuse and neglect on my spouse, but NOW, my PRESENT attorney who is a different person, is telling me to hand the children over to him!!!! WHAT DO I DO??? My children are in danger!!! Do I talk over my attorney and tell the judge the man is abusive, a porn addict (he has had counseling for that and anger management) and he has shown no change in demeanor. I need advice by Friday, Sept. 2nd!
