Re: child custody
From what you write, you're problem at the moment is not custody of your children, but your and your children's safety. Even a threat of violence is a form of abuse. Please discuss your situation with a women's shelter or protective services or an experienced attorney. On the one hand, these may be idle threats, but, on the other hand, he may be very unstable and unpredictable.
