Legal Question in Family Law in California
child neglect
I have sole legal and sole physical custody of my 7-years-old daughter. My ex-husband took her on vacation to Brazil and neglected her while drinking heavily. The resort employees took care of her, not the father. I have a witness written declaration (American not leaving in the USA) describing the neglect. The judge stated he does not read third party declaration and didn't seem to believe me. There will be another hearing soon, because my ex didn't show up on the first hearing (only his attorney did). I would like monitored visitations and no vacation for my ex. How do I convince the judge? How do I make him read the declarations?
Also, I believe my ex needs to be mentally evaluated. He states that ''terrorists beat him up at the resort, he suffered two heart attacks, broken neck, and currently someone is following him''. How do I convince the judge that he needs to be mentally evaluated? From what I've observed so far nobody reacts (including the judge) until a tradegy happens. This is very scary.
What do I do if the judge ignores my concerns again? My ex is already planning a trip to Europe next year. Can I make an appeal? Can I change the judge?
Please advise.

Re: child neglect
You need to get an attorney if you do not already have one, these are complex issues that are beyond what one should handle on their own, especially if your ex has an attorney.
