Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

My ex husband had called the county i live in and made claims of bad hygiene on my kids and a messy and smelly house. i know it was him because an incident was mentioned to the county office that only a couple people knew about and he was one of them, the other people were my husband myself and my ex husband soon to be ex wife and she would have nothing to gain from this. i beleive my ex husband did this because the only way he wont have to pay child support (recently went up because of a modification that he did) is if he gets custody of our son and the only way he can do that is if i'm proven to be an unfit mother. hes only a dad of convience and he hates the fact that he has to pay. what can i do about this form of harrassment hes putting on my family?

The best thing to do is to be prepared with you attorney to fight him in family law court. Have a plan of action. If he is trying to take your children you want to be prepared. The standard within family law court is "The best interest of the child" so if the court feels like his "harassment" is in the best interest of your children, then it may continue if you haven't prepared accordingly with your attorney.
