[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 10. I was always the target of DH’s instability and rages, but that changed and he turned on her. He is very smart to never make physical contact, but what DD has experienced is certainly just as painful.

What I am struggling with now with my attorneys is the expectation of 50/50 custody, especially because DD does not want to be around DH.

At what age does DD have to be to assert preferences about who she spends time with and when? [/quote]

If your own attorneys believe a 50/50 split is appropriate then what is the issue.  Lots of people getting divorced make insinuations against their spouse and vague allegations of child abuse.  You don't give any examples here

It sounds like what might be happening here is that you are projecting your hostility towards the father onto your daughter.

If you truly believe 50/50 is unsafe for the child then you are morally obligated to protect your child and instruct your attorneys as to what you want them to do.

In that event you better be sure to bring the receipts and budget for a six figure legal bill.  And you still might lose.

Good luck.[/quote]

An example of the emotional and verbal abuse is blaming my child for something she didn’t do, realizing he did it but then blaming the child for making him do it. And then coming at her aggressively screaming and looming over her telling her to stop crying while cursing at her. Yes, I intervene and yes, he turns on me. I live in a two-party consent state so I write incidents down but cannot record.

I don’t think I’m protecting my hostility. DH seems to have plenty to go around![/quote]
