My ex has made false claims against me that I cannot take care of my
children, and they are in his custody right now. Due to having a horrible
lawyer, nothing has happened in the past 2 years to advance my case. My
parents have been completely unable to grasp the situation until recently
when they were visiting during the summer and actually read his lawsuit
petition that said how I didn't care for the children. The judge gave him
custody noting that his claims were allegations only, but serious enough

I took excellent care of the children, teaching them to read, to play
cooperatively, etc. I have a psych degree and loved the early childhood
courses. I have a new lawyer now. My ex threatened me that I better go

with his game or he would make it so I don't see the kids again. Because
head hunters call him with job offers from all over the world, I take this
threat seriously, but realize that I can't let him scare me. My children

crying to me to take action, that they can't stand living with him.
Finally,my parents are getting involved, since they realize this is not just a
family squabble.
It will be fairly simple to show that his claims are false now that I'm
getting some support, but can the decision of a judge 2 years ago be
changed, or is it status quo now? Is he going to be in trouble for making
that stuff up about me? I went to great lengths to aquire the best

Your new attorney sounds as if he/she isn't doing their job that well.Sorry, but he/she isn't advising you to do several things right now.
1. get a judge to sign a document not allowing your ex to leave the area.
2. petition the court for joint custody.
3. request psych exams showing the claims of your ex were false.
Yes you will face a tough time, but that doesn't mean it can't be over-come.
You may have to attend parenting classes, plus other types of evaluations,
etc... Basically you'll be required to jump through hoops to "win" the court
over. What is most important right now is to remove your ex's "threat" by
getting a judge to sign a document restricting him to the area. If your ex
moves, against that order, than he is in contempt of court and your chances
of gaining custody of the kids increase considerably. Therefore - your ex
wouldn't be a wise man to play games like that.
Good luck... my ex made false claims against me because he knew he wasn't
going to get custody. A third party ended up with custody after I gave up
fighting for custody, and three months after that he was arrested for child
abuse related charges. He ended up having his parental rights temporarily
removed due to those charges. In the meantime I did what was necessary and
ended up with custody.
