Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Abusing a 3 yr old

I would encourage you to go to counseling for you and your child.

I'd try to find a counselor that is willing to go to court and testify.

Then I'd invite the ex to go to counseling too. He obviously needs some assistance.

Then I'd also keep a diary of everything that goes on.

I'd also have people (2 or 3) that are willing to testify in court. They can testify to anything that they have personal knowledge of -- seen, heard, smelled, tasted, etc.

Lastly, I would start a litigation fund for future litigation.

I'd also start looking around for a very tough attorney to represent you in court the next time.

It is also impossible to stop ex's from calling CPS, however, eventually, CPS will get tired of his complaints.

Be sure to keep detailed records of all CPS events - dates and the names of each person you interact with.

In one recent case, the date the ex reported the abuse occurred, the parent accused had proof that on that date the ex had the child!

You need to document, document, document.

Paperwork is your friend. Keep it until the child turns over 18.
