Suspicion of Domestic Abuse
Q.
My fiancé's ex is living with an abusive boyfriend, and there is concern as to his daughter in that living situation.
She has full custody, but what can my fiancé do to make sure his daughter is safe and in a better living environment? A.
Don't be too quick to call CPS.
But remember, the more proof and better case that you have, the higher the odds of getting something done.
Remember, CPS is a governmental agency and, oftentimes, you're getting into more than you bargained for-for example, the CPS can dig into an evaluation-including one of your own living conditions and environment.
Call them if there are signs or talk of abuse going on in a house with his daughter-in cases like this, action is needed for the safety of the child.
In addition to contacting CPS, your fiancé can also file an Emergency Order through the courts in order to obtain temporary full custody of the children until the issue goes to court.
But as outlined above, think in terms of "shock factor"-don't go to court with frivolous BS or you will not be taken seriously in the future.
By the time the issue gets to the courtroom, you should have additional information from CPS.
You can also see what you can find out along the line of any calls made to the police from her for abuse-if there is a police report stating they had gone to the house for a domestic abuse situation, then he's got a strong case to get custody, even if it's just for a little while.
But make the most of that time and fight for custody past the Emergency Order and into the future if you both feel she's better off with you and your fiancé.
Are You Tired of the "X" Calling the Shots in Your Life? Don't Let Her Do It! Sitting on the sidelines while you watch your guy struggle and go through hell is such a frustrating and powerless experience.
And to add insult to injury, many men simply give up and let their "X" take whatever they want in order to avoid confrontation.
Guys typically just do not deal with problems like women do.
Women are more assertive while men typically avoid a conflict; contrary to popular belief.
This is exactly the kind of attitude and situation that I have designed my program to change.
