[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a family member who divorced a man with bipolar disorder that made violent threats against her. He served her when they were leaving a joint therapy session. He got a men's rights lawyer and attempted to manipulate the judge and the child custody evaluator into believing that she was abusive to him and secretly doing drugs in front of the kids. He had zero interest in parenting, but asked for 70% custody for himself and all legal decision making power. It took a year and a half for her to settle it, which included her being drug tested off of nothing but his false claims.

You have no idea how much danger you are in. Family court judges and custody evaluators are very aware of the perception that men don't get an equal shake in custody cases and have overcorrected as of late to believe men more than women. His claims against you may be taken credibly by the judge, unless you act NOW to protect yourself. You need to speak to a divorce lawyer THIS WEEK. [/quote]

OP here

I’m sorry for your family member.

I did speak to a lawyer back when the false assault charge was filed. They basically told me anyone can say anything. Without evidence it’s empty.

What other “protection” can I take?

Hi OP, by protection I mean you need to initiate the divorce process before he has a chance to do it to you. He appears to be in the planning stage, and is waiting to surprise you. It will be so much harder for you starting off your case having to UNprove what he's saying versus you proposing your terms first. What's stopping him from initiating another false abuse accusation against you, and serving you a day later? Then he could file for an emergency temporary full custody petition while you get reinvestigated for abuse. I'm telling you, you have no idea how bad your life could get very soon unless you catch him off guard and file first. It's your only chance to set the record straight and minimize the potential abuse and manipulation of court professionals later. [/quote]
