Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Ex-husband causing trouble with my children.

I am a divorced mother of two boys ages 5 & 8. My ex husband sees them about once a week for a few hours. Everytime they go with him, they come home acting strange & secretive. Just yesterday, my ex called me screaming that I am messing my oldest son up. I sent him with a book to read so he could work on a report for school. He told me that I am too hard on him and I better not yell at him for not completing it becuase I am abusing him. This is a mild example of my ex's temper. He threatens me all the time with taking the children and not returning them home. Now he is showing up at their school. I am afraid he is going to take the boys & disappear. The school says they can't stop him unless there is a restraining order in place. I can't get one because there is no hard evidence that he'll do this. I am afraid for my children & I don't want them involved any further then they are already. I just want my boys safe with me. He is currently living with a woman that is not allowed to be with her own children after threatening to drown them. I was told me that I couldn't stop her from being around my kids because she hasn't hurt them. I can't believe I have to wait until something happens. Please help.

Re: Ex-husband causing trouble with my children.

You do not have to wait for disaster to strike. However, you need to be smart about this. A smart divorce lawyer can help. You have to have something to take to the Judge. If you can get the Judge to look at this, you may be able to have everyone (you too, and his new girlfriend) evaluated by a psychologist.

You are likely to be more successful with an attorney representing you.

Re: Ex-husband causing trouble with my children.

It would seem that this woman should be barred from being around your children because of her previously stated homocidal tendencies.

Call me if you like.
