Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
A year ago I filed a report with the police because my son recieved a suspicious bruise while in his father's care. The bruise was in the shape of a large hand on his neck and shoulder and I was suspicious because I know his father has a temper. Last week his 5 month old daughter recieved a head injury. Her skull was fractured in seven places and she was in his care at the time. He is now under investigation by Child Protective Services and they have petitioned the court to have him removed from his children for at least six months. I have primary physical custody and joint legal custody of our son. I worry about him. He is 5 years old and has been saying he doesn't want to go to daddy's house because daddy is mean since he was two. Is there anything Ican do during this time? Do Ihave to wait for the report to be completed by CPS? Can I seek sole custody?

As difficult as it may be, probably your best course of action at this point is to let things run their normal course. Be cooperative and patient. Let CPS finish its investigaiton and make its recommendation to the court. Let the court rule. Then once a temporary order is in place for your to have sole custody, you can seek to modify to make it permanent.
Best of luck!
