Legal Question in Family Law in California

CAL.FAM.CODE � 3022.5 provides that a motion by a parent for reconsideration of an existing

child custody order shall be granted if the motion is based on the fact that the other parent was convicted of a crime in connection with falsely accusing the moving parent of child abuse.

How do I get my ex spouse be convicted of a crime for the conduct of falsely accusing me of child abuse? Where do I make this report? Can a family court make the false reporter convicted of the crime or should I contact a police for this crime to make a report? Thank you in advance.

You first start with sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the allegations were in fact false. The best way to get to the bottom of these allegations would be for a child custody evaluator appointed by the court and paid for by the parties to make that determination. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
