I know nothing of the circumstances but if a boyfriend living with my ex is abusing my son I would hot foot it down to a lawyer worth his hire. By doing nothing I would consider myself guilty of neglect of my son. Should be noted that in this case it appears the son is appealing to his father.Time to bite the bullet.
This is the best information.
I think he’s doing just what you described. He really is a responsible good parent from my view.
But here’s the problem.
A family court apparently gets allegations thrown about all the time and it’s not always easy to know who’s telling the truth.
The father in this story wanted to get evidence before getting an atty and going to court. He thought it would be less risky by going to a ‘Christian’ service. But the state controls Christian services the same as any other counseling service.
To me, it’s a chicken and egg problem, what comes first?
Your idea to get an atty is a good one but there is still a risk that going to court without evidence can mean the court will appoint an evaluator who will investigate both homes. The father in this case absolutely does not trust court evaluators any more than CPS investigators.
