Dlove Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I have to start off by saying that I have two beautiful children out of an abusive relationship. I loved the man so much that didn't see the mistakes I was making by allowing him to be in their lives. I now see the reality of the situation and for the past few months I have separated my self and my children from this individual and now filing for full custody. The custody hearings have been ongoing because he refuses to show up. I have another one coming up in which I have been informed that he may show up and fight for his "rights" to see his children. In all honesty, this man is a danger to my children and I and its at their best interest to end all type of contact or relationship with this man. he has several substance abuse, he has anger issues, he is violent, and has another child that he has no custody of because of the same reasons. my social worker is telling me that he may still have the right to see his children and gave me the impression that he may be showing up to court this time around. I am under the impression that she spoke to him and he of course lied in regards to all the accusations against him. My question is Is there anything I can do to help my case? has anyone been through a similar situation? what kind of paperwork or prove do I need? I am going full force against this man and will refuse to allow him to see my children. Anything that you can tell me would be helpful.

My social worker is telling me that he may still have the right to see his children. I picked somethings out of what you posted because they really are important to address. The court will alway's recognize the "Right's" of biological parent's either male or female to see their kids. Unless you have real proof such as police reports, criminal records or mental depositions sighting his drug usage or violent behavior there is no other paper work they will look at. Your social worker is telling you this to prepare you for what is to come. I'm pretty sure that if they thought that there was any grounds for denial of parental rights they would inform the court. I know that this is not what you want to hear but this is how the system works. If I may ask why are you getting D I know this may sound strange but if it is due to any type of documented abuse you maybe able to sight that at the hearing. If that's not the case he will get to retain his right's to see his kids.
