Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
In a child custody case, false accusations have been made, and proven false, by my 7 year old stepson about my 15 year old stepson. Both DCF and the police have investigated the accusations and stated both false and custody related with a historical pattern of false allegations. The judge in the case has ordered that we write a letter to the father stating:
"I am aware that (my 15 year old) has a problem with acting out in inappropriate sexual ways involving minor children and that she and her husband will take all actions to protect (my 7 year old) from him" The judge stated that he doesn't care if it is true or not, doesn't care what all the reports say, we requested the judge to order an evalution by a psychologist and a psychiatrist, he said "for what?" He demands the letter be written as he said.
We have 5 kids. The judge has stated that we cannot have overnight visitations with my 7 year old until this letter is written. If we write the letter, they could use it to remove all the children with the statement that my 15 year old is a danger. He has seen enough specialists to be sure all is well with him and they have all stated he is a normal child. There is no problem. This could follow him for the rest of his life. What do we do?

If a judge has issued an order for you to do something, no lawyer can give you any advice other than to do it. Nevertheless, your case is obviously very complex, far too complex to be asked about and answered on a free, online legal questions site. You need to sit down with a lawyer, explain your entire case in detail, and determine all your options, which may include addressing your issue with the appellate court.
