Legal Question in Health Care Law in California

She should have handled things much differently, I am sure she realizes now. Abusive guys like to threaten constantly, and this keeps her "hooked" into him from his perspective. He likely would get into trouble too, so I am not sure what he would gain out of reporting her. I also don't see what custody advantage he would have over her, since he was a willing participant and the one taking the meds. She can either take a constant flogging from him for the next 10 or more years (and then worry about him telling the daughter what an evil person she is for breaking the law), or she can take a stand and be willing to pay the consequences. Hopefully the daughter will not suffer because of this. What she did was wrong, whether she was abused or not. She could have taken her daughter and fled to a shelter if she felt she was in that much danger, not participate in an act that has the potential to have mom taken away and render her unable to protect her child. I understand being abused, been there myself, but sometimes you have to be willing to drop absolutely everything to escape. I did it, I know it isn't easy, especially when people think it is somehow your fault for being his victim. I would make no statements regarding anything before talking to an attorney regarding the forged signatures, because I am not certain what proof he has that implicates her in this matter.
