Even after presenting my lawyer with proof of domestic abuse I'm still being told that I cannot get soul custody or primary custody of my child that my ex wants to settle for joint custody which I'm not OK with 🙄
My dad only got 2% custody of me and my mom got a restraining order but it was because of something that happened with him and my mom nothing involving me but that was in 92 in California
Yeah the bad thing is I can't really afford another lawyer and my lawyer doesn't want to take this to court because my ex is going to push for a whole bunch of stuff that is going to cost a lot of money that I can afford I would think they would automatically see domestic abuse and give me at least primary custody but apparently it doesn't work that way I guess someone can beat the shit out of someone for 2 1/2 years and Them think it's still OK for him to have joint custody wtf @morgan.k,
Have you talked to a CPS worker? Sometimes they can help get the kids away from the abuser...
