I believe my ex-spouse is harming the children or placing them in harm’s way during visitations. What can or should I do
If you feel your children are in immediate danger then you should contact the local police authorities.
If you feel there is a longer-term issue, but is not an immediate threat you need to contact CPS (Child Protective Services) and file a formal complaint.
If you believe the ex-spouse is drinking or abusing drugs while they are caring for the children, it is wise to obtain as much information as possible about the situation and then file a complaint.
However filing a complaint with either the local police authorities or CPS can create a very challenging situation because it could put the child or children in the middle of the situation potentially forcing them to testify against a parent.
For this reason, I would strongly advise you seek counsel prior to making any rash decisions unless the child or children are in immediate danger.
Child custody situations are heartbreaking for all parties involved and rarely have an easy solution. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.
