I hit her 3 times on her arm...Yes I lost it and explain the seriousness of this situation. I went on about how I can't trust you, I'm taking her to the doctor, how she feels that she doesn't have to listen to me and so on. She put her coat on and said daddy is downstairs waiting for her. I told her these are things that make me not trust you. You sneaked and called your father.

I can hear him on the phone telling her come downstairs now. I let her go. This isn't the first when I have gone off on her no I don't alway hit her I do more talkin then hitting.

Since the two of you are still married I assume there is no custody/visitation order from Family or Supreme Court. If there isn't I suggest you think about filing one. You can reach my office for a consultation. www.traceyabloodsaw.com

Re: Father Interference in Raising of Child

You should see a lawyer immediately. You may face a counter-charge of abuse if you seek sole custody. You must see a lawyer who is involved with both family court and criminal court. There has to be at least an attempt to work together. A good lawyer may be able to help you, find a way to do that.

My office does in fact do a lot of work in the dual area of domestic violence and custody, Please contact us if you are interested.

Good Luck.
