Danger to Child

Hello All,
Im still a lurker and often read your posts to get through the days. I am going through a custody battle right now w/my ex-husband. He has stopped paying me child support and promises unless I give in to him, he will continue these legal matters until my child is 18yrs. Anyway, my attorney and I are already going to court to get this matter taken care of. I had agreed to give him more time, of which I do not have a problem with, until now. Here is my dilemma, I just found out some awful information about his new wife, some stuff that would make it unsafe for my child to go to their house. My attorney says that once we get stuff in black and white then we can take it to the courts. The information is being sent to my attorney as we speak. My question is have any of you had to deal w/the OW or wife that would pose a danger to your child, not just calling you names or just being mean, but someone that could possibly harm your child. I would like to hear your thoughts on the situation and if you have any advice for me . Im concerned now for my child, but have to follow the decree until I have real proof.
Thank you.

It all depends on what information you have. What is it you are afraid she will do? What proof do you have?

Remember that judges hear accusations and concerns every day about ex's and steparents and unless it is really credible and really dangerous it probably will not make much of a difference in visitation or custody.

Good luck.

My question is..... do you trust your EX to be present and aware of what is going on when your child is in his care?
