i'm trying to get sole custody of my 7 year old daughter b/c she came home on 12-3-09 and told me he had slapped her in the back of the head (where she had 3 staples closing a cut she received the week before from a fall) b/c she didn't stick with the lie he'd made up for her to miss school. he was supposed to drive her to school that morning but for whatever reason, decided that I should pick her up on my way home from work (he does this all the time) so he told me she hit her head on a car door frame and couldn't go to school. when I asked my daughter about this, she told me that never happened and when her dad heard her say this, he disconnected our phone call. when I picked my daughter up from his house a few minutes later, she told me after he hung up-he yelled at her "why did you lie to your mom?" then hit her on the back of the head where her staples are then asked her "does your head hurt now?" I called CPS and filed a report but b/c I'm the ex-wife, they assumed I was doing this just b/c I was pissed at him and closed the case. I filed a complaint against the caseworker in because she NEVER called me to discuss anything and this was even after several phone calls were made to her office and me speaking to her superviser twice. after this incident, my ex showed up at our daughter's school on a day that I TOLD him she was staying hom sick. he showed up to start a fight w/me when I dropped off my other two girls (NOT HIS KIDS). when I got to the school, I saw him on the front porch so I refused to get out of the car b/c things would just escalate so I sent my two girls into the school-my ex ended up harrassing my 10 year old daughter by trying to block her path twice and chasing her down a hallway until a staff member stopped him and made him leave.
I got an order of protection that lasted a month but the court overturned it b/c I couldn't prove the abuse against our daughter and they wouldn't interview her.
we had a hearing on friday to change custody where I requested the court interview our daughter b/c without the interview, a fair ruling could not be made. my ex got angry in open court,refusing our daughter's interview but the judge saw this and decided to order the interview anyways. he then allowed my ex to keep our daughter for 2 days before the interview and told my ex he would be the one taking her to it!! this is all b/c he is listed as the custodial parent in our decree (a mistake on my part-he's never truly been a custodial parent-I do everything for her medically and educationally).
I am worried my ex won't show up for this interview today b/c it could incrimenate him. what happens if he doesn't show up with her and she misses her interview?!! we don't have another court date until 3-11-10
