Mount Airy, NC asked in Criminal Law, Family Law, Child Custody and Libel & Slander for Georgia

Q: False police report terminates visitation:

Ex has custody of our son. I have supervised visits. If relevant, he has son b/c of Facebook posts. We had a custody eval, the psych test results were invalid. Since have gotten valid eval.

On Feb 18, Son was complaining of hand pain 10 min in2 visitation  (4 which my mom, grandma, fiance, younger son who I have custody of, & nephew were present). It was swollen and red, not a fresh injury as there were no shiny patches, scabs, blisters, etc. 

I took a photo of & proceeded as normal since he was playing as usual.

At about 6 tht night, ex's mom contacts my mom, questioning her about injury.

I email ex @ 7 tht night, w/ photos, & included when the injury was 1st noted. No response.

Got a call from police dpt Feb 23 that ex made a report tht injury happened in my care & medical records stated it was a 2nd DEGREE BURN (I was only informed by police).

police filed safety plan stating I cant contact son w/o taking supporting documents from me. What are options?

A: You need to talk to an attorney. You need to bring your custody papers with you when you do. You also need to take a copy of this safety plan, as you may have messed up and agreed to the safety plan unwittingly.
