Itall started because ex and me got into a fight about him not providing food for thr househole. Ex called the this parents that night and then called the cops saying I was chokeing him witch layer cops found out it was untrue. That night ex sleep over at his parents. The next day dcf is at my house saying they got a call about child abuse. Long story short his mom calld saying I was a schizophrenic (untrue) me and husband is getting a divorce ( which I did not even know about at the time). what can I do ?

You need to file for divorce and retain counsel. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659
If he in-fact has filed for divorce, custody and and all related issues should be addressed in that case. If he hasn't filed, assuming the marriage is over, file for divorce.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
Contact me to schedule a no obligation office consultation. While telephone calls, and email responses, are encouraged, please do not send text messages.

You need to sit with an attorney. There are many issues that you need to be prepared for.
Dependency may be an issue with DCF if they feel the children are being abused or neglected.
You may also have issues with a Parenting Plan and Time Sharing in your divorce (your ability to spend time with your children) because of the allegations against you regarding your mental health and alleged physical abuse. These allegations must be properly defended against for you to retain your rights to your children.
Contact an attorney for a consultation. Take all documents pertaining to any ongoing DCF investigations and all documents in your possession pertaining to the divorce.
