[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here I don't want full custody either, but I want the courts to know he can get physical when angry. At least if it escalates further, in future I have it in writing to get custody modified or therapy for him.[/quote]

That will not happen, OP. If you wanted the court to know that your husband gets physical when angry, you need to call the cops when it happens and file a report.

That said, what you are describing does not sound like something that would be actionable in court, tbh. Unfortunately, we allow parents to discipline physically, and as a result, situations like this may be categorized as parental discretion over discipline.

If you believe that your children are in danger in his custody, you need to have a lot more to go on than what you described, and it almost certainly needs to be reported to the police, documented at the hospital, etc. before you are going to get anything from a court.

That said, your lawyer can write just about anything into a separation agreement. It may not be enforceable, but it will give you something to point to. Something such as "The Parties agree that no physical methods of discipline will be used on Larlo and Larlan." [/quote]
