Q: My fiances daughter told her school that I hit her then said she played with her sister and fell fccs is coming to check
I have never hit her I spanked her times in 3 years. She told us 2 weeks ago the exact same thing about her teacher. She is slow also and says alot that doesn't make sense. Should we be worried. We are a week from having our son and are now worried child services will try to take our kids.
A: If you are not married, then the kids are not necessarily "our kids." The mother has sole legal custody of the children unless there has been some sort of court order establishing parental rights, or an adoption, etc. Child services will investigate the situation and determine what is necessary based on their assessment of your family situation. You might want to talk to the school about the situation. The school might have a counselor or school psychologist. You can also talk to a local family law attorney that you can find on-line or with your local bar association.
