Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

I have a young daughter that is biologically mine and a stepson who I have reason to believe are being abused at their mother's house.

My ex and I have a mutual friend who wrote me that she has witnessed both physical and mental abuse of the children.

How do I protect the children, especially since one of them is not my biological child?

Question:

I share joint legal custody with my ex-wife and want to know what to do if I suspect my children are victims of domestic violence while with their mother.

My child has told me she is scared of her mother's boyfriend because he abuses my ex-wife.

I'm wondering if I could take my child to talk to a counselor about this without letting the mother know even though we share joint legal custody and would normally probably have to agree on such a decision.

Question:

I am an unwed father whose name is on my child's birth certificate and carries my surname.

My ex-girlfriend fled with my child and now no one will tell me where she is because she is spreading lies that I sexually abused my child.

My question is can she be arrested for hiding my child from me and slandering me with a child molestation accusation?

Question:

I am very concerned about my young child's safety while with my wife as we go through the divorce process.

There is a history of the mother having significant untreated mental health issues and abuse of prescription medications. She is a danger to herself and especially our small child.

On top of this, our divorce case keeps getting delayed because of her filing for continuances so my child is at more risk with each passing day.

What legal action can I take on behalf of protecting my child?

Question:

What qualifies as domestic violence in order to seek an order of protection?

My wife has violent mood swings. She usually resorts to name calling but when she gets really mad she will push me, slap me, and make physical threats sometimes while I'm holding our newborn child.

What can I do to protect myself and my infant baby from my wife's violent tendencies?
