I am a divorced dad custody primary of my 4 young children. My ex physically abused them bruises welts bloody noses. proven in court, supervised visits one year child abuse counseling and parenting class ordered. She still denies the abuse. However she now has unsupervised visits. She now is fighint for custody kids taped me swearing, lied said i pushed them, said i slap them. Result no abuse proven in court yet the two oldest allowed to live with her till a GAL looks at the case. temp order 3 months only. I have decree stating primary care her to have one supervised visit per week. Question why does the AWAP group still support her in her plight of being an abused woman? She lies to them... Any advice or suggestions? My order says i can have contact etc no counseling etc. She wants primary care and nothing less. I am willing to share kids. Will they actually give her primary care? thanks alot mike kids 2 6 8 13B

Sorry to hear about what you have been going through Mickey. It does sound very odd that the courts would go to such lengths to give you the kids then to take them back off you. I am unfamiliar with most of the process you have described as I am from Australia - although I do support your need for some clarity and understanding in what is a very traumatic period in your life.
The fact that the two eldest have been temporarily handed over - must mean (correct me if I'm wrong) they had some say in it. And it would also suggest that the court was not happy to let the younger ones be at any risk - the older ones can protect themselves more than the youger ones - AND after the 3 months - the older kids will be in a better position to tell the court about the care that they recieved. This may be a way for the truth to be heard and for you all to get some perspective on who and how the parenting should be divided, to meet the kids needs, and to keep some sanity in an already difficult situation. Good luck and please write again if it helps at all. Tracey
