If you fear your children are at serious risk for sexual abuse there are generally a number of different options that may be available to help.

Below are 4 options you can pursue if you fear your children are being sexually abused, but please keep in mind two things during each explanation:

2.) Possible ramifications.

If your ex-wife's new boyfriend is verbally or physically abusing your child and you are concerned for your child's mental and physical safety and wellbeing, most jurisdictions have a process through which you can ask the court to award you emergency custody.

Typically, this process requires that you file a document with the court alleging that your child is in danger describing the situation and your concerns. The court will likely hear your allegations very quickly.

Most states have rules that require a court to hear such cases within a day or two of filing when there is an emergency.

Question:

My wife and I are being investigated by Child Protective Services because of a non-physical domestic violence incident that was blown wildly out of proportion.

We recently learned CPS is taking us to court forcing us to participate in their "services" or else we will lose our children.

Can my wife and kids legally move out of state during a CPS investigation without fear of the agency coming after our children?
