Re: Domestic violence with a baby invovled
Lot of problems jambed into the small paragraph. First, look at how long ago it was that the mother "laid hands" (fought) with the father. If it is recent then there may be police and/or the Dept of Children and Families Services getting involved. Of course, if the Dept feels it necessary to shelter the baby from both parents, the child will be placed in relative care if the relative can pass a home study.
Then there will be a hearing where the mother can present her testimony and documentation, and the father can present his.
