Q: My ex and I has never seen eye to eye since I was told by my 2 minor children step mom broke my daughters wrist and when
I showed great concern but also keeping a civil conversation out of concern for our children we have together. He just laughed and said I was making this stuff up in my head and I was dramatic and making something out of nothing. I didn’t think I was dramatic, I was emotional and crying for the safety of my kids. One weekend they went to his house and he would never give them back to me. Neither one of us had sole or 100% guardianship when we split, he thought it was best for them to stay with me and barley seen them but I still never filed child support even living in hud housing. I believed everything was fine until I had my daughter with my husband. His wife but gf at that time swore up and down my 3rd child was also my older twos dads kid. Demanded a DNA bc they looked alike. Maybe bc their related but I swabbed her cheek and the proof came back my husband was the daddy not him. Now he has filed child support on me I was paying until I lost my job. He won’t let me talk or see them
A: I recommend consulting a lawyer any time you believe your child may be suffering abuse when they are not in your care to determine your options and if you have any duty to report same.
