Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Innocent Stepmother victimized by Husband s Psycho Ex

I am innocent and have been accused, by his mother, of abusing my 7-year-old stepson. She and her family have manipulated him into agreeing. They have placed hopes in his mind that his parents will be together again if he can "make me go away"!

Last weekend, while my stepson was here on visitation, we prepared a video tape of a discussion he had with his father. (He was unaware of the camera.) He states on the video that his uncle told him, "If you lie you win and if you're honest you lose" and "If you can make ___(me) go away, your mommy and daddy could be together again". This video also documents this weekend's visitation from his arrival to departure. It shows him interacting with our family as a whole.

What do I need to do to protect myself and my family? What can I do to protect my stepson from the emotional/ psychological abuse? Will the Judge do something to stop this abuse of the system? request a Psychological Evaluation of her?! What do we do to pursue full custody? What can we do to protect him from his uncle? Is the video showing my stepson's visitation and statements admissable?
