[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just take the kids and move with your parents OP; there is really nothing he can do. If he calls the cops on you again, have your parents there. A man calling the cops over a night time bottle feeding is not rational. If my DH tried to pull this type of crap, I would leave immediately. Are you or the husband are originally from the US? Seems over the to, if you ask me.[/quote]

First of all, you would be abandoning your home and that has legal repercussions. Do NOT leave before you talk to a lawyer. Second, it is completely untrue that "there is nothing he could do." Legally, he has parental rights. He could accuse you of kidnapping the kids. More likely, he could stalk, harass, and threaten you. I'm sure this poster comes from a good place, but she doesn't have a clue about your situation.  [/quote]

Don’t listen to this poster. Her advice is inaccurate.

You can leave if you are in danger, and you cannot kidnap your own kids if you are married to their father (thus there is no custody arrangement).

He can threaten/stalk/harass, but it is likely he won’t because it sounds like his priority is preserving his image.

You should talk to a lawyer though, not get legal advice from the Law Firm of DCUM.

Your husband sounds like he has NPD. Google “gray rock” and follow that advice until you can get out.[/quote]

I do not believe your second bullet is correct, at least not in VA. But the OP is in DC. So, yes, please listen to us in terms of resources, but not for legal advice. I think all of us are saying the same thing in terms of get a lawyer before you do ANYTHING

"Unless there’s a court custody order, both parents of a child have equal rights to physical
possession of a child. This is true whether or not the parties are married to each other. Virginia
law gives no preference to either the mother or the father. Virginia law requires a judge to assure
regular and frequent contact of the child with both parents."[/quote]
