A: This is heartbreaking for you and you other child. If you participated in the case where the custody was changed you may be at a disadvantage to complain about his lies at the hearing. You need to consult with an attorney to get to the specific things you need to do. Write out a timeline for the attorney before you meet with them. Provide details so that the attorney can narrow down your issues and give you a good sense about what to do next. Good luck to your family.
