My daughter is going through a nasty divorce. Her husband is shacked up in their house with some skank he met on facebook. He kicked my daughter and his girls out into the night, she went back to Kentucky and got an apartment. He lied, took the girls to NY for a visit, kept them, and filed for custody. Per court order, they now switch the girls every 10 days. Last Monday, when they were picked up, the 21 month old had a bruise shaped like a hand and the 5 yr old said that "Daddy hit us." The court in NY is looking the other way. I've seen his meanness before and he doesn't want the girls, he wants to hurt their mother. Is there anyway to get this out of NY? I'll take prayers, legal advise or anything else. And please, no snide comments, when I asked for attorney recomendations all I got was snarky comments. Her father and I are about to have heart attacks over this.
Will do.
Ping.
I don’t know if you know anything about NY child custody law.
At this point, I think your daughter’s only hope is to get the very best (and likewise expensive) attorney possible.
The attorney may be able to get an emergency order based on the abuse. I hope she took pictures of the bruises and has a witness to what her daughter’s told her.
LEGAL help needed.
Most States have ‘something’ which does not require $$$.
Prayers sent. I hope to G-d your daughter’s situation improves. Especially for those kids sake.
Take photos. Take kids to local Social Sevices to give statement. Take statements, photos, and Social Services report to local judge for temporary custody order. Don’t forget to get a lawyer.
What IS it with men and skanks!!?? Why can’t they just say “Eeww! A SKANK! Better not touch it- you don’t know WHERE it’s been!” Oy vay....
BUMP and prayer for mom, daughter, children.
Will pray for your family.
I agree-this guy belongs in JAIL.
O G-D, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we humbly beseech thee to protect the innocent, awaken the guilty; and forasmuch as thou alone bringest light out of darkness, and good out of evil, grant to these thy servants, that by the power of thy Holy Spirit they may be set free from the chains of sin, and may be brought to newness of life. Amen.
Great advice. Tell her to ask around...someone will be able to refer her to a (pardon my language) ball buster.
The childrens attorney, the judge, even our attorneys (who re getting fired tomorrow)....
The 5 yr old has had several meltdowns because she doesn’t want to go back to her dad) I witnessed them myself. The skank keeps calling CPS and the county police where my daughter lives and reporting her for child abuse (she met her 1 time). Even the KY police are sick of it. Our attorney is useless. His record with the Coast Guard is bad, he’s had more demotions then promotions....the police removed him from the home for domestic violence...what the heck does it take?
I can’t give you legal advice, but, I’ll certainly pray for the well being of your daughter, your grandchildren, your family, and for a good resolution to the whole sad situation.
May God bless and guide, and keep you all - especially those precious little ones - safe within His providential care.
CPS in my county (Ohio, where the bruises were discovered) took pictures (with a cell phone). The’re not “conclusive” and our attorney said “we all know kids lie.”
I am beside so upset tonight my heart is about to beat out of my chest.
How do you fight this???? And the attorney was supposed to be good, and yes, he costs a forture.
Tell your daughter to go slow with legal stuff and let nature take its course. The dad sounds unstable and their may be alcohol or other drug abuse happening and the kids are just pawns.
Unfortunately, the more your daughter is angered over their treatment the more control her husband has over her.
The one thing your daughter did that often pisses off the courts is to move so far away. Bad move. It is presumed that kids need access to both parents.
Just go slow and let her husband show his hand by his actions and not by his words.
I agree but what is with women and "bad boys"?? So that goes both ways.
......
This sounds like another sad case.
