The abuse has to be proven, which is typically very difficult. Most parents wouldn't put their child on the stand to be a witness against the other parent for something relatively minor. Anything major should have accompanying medical records.

The best interest of the child is the standard. The child has a right to have a relationship with both parents, even if one or both of those parents is an awful spouse. Fighting every step of the way is detrimental. It looks like someone is using the child as a pawn to upset the other one. OP's husband may very well be doing all of this legal BS as a way of controlling her. It sounds like she is spending everything she has left to play his f*cked up game.

Willingness to coparent without contention is considered in custody cases too. Cooperatively moving forward is best for the child. [/quote]

Im following this discussion. What if the child is too young to verbalize how much abuse he's seen? What if he hears daddy cuss out mommy, slam doors, hit mommy, threaten her, etc? Surely a 2 year old is not put on the stand? Can't wrap my head around why custody is shared with known abusers. It is not in the child's best intetest. [/quote]
