0 LIKES UnLike

I am trying to get custody of my children; however my children's father found out and beat me. He threated me if I continue to pursue the custody. I am so scared. I haven't called the police because I honestly have no where to go. He won't let me leave with my children and I am literally hostage at the house we live in. Please any suggestions i would appreciate.

  1. Call the police.  He'll be arrested at which time you can either stay in your home or go to a battered womens shelter.  There are options for you, even if he tells you that there aren't.  You can get a restraining order, and the whole situation will pretty much guarantee primary custody of your children.


  2. are you married? or is it Baby daddy situation? I does make a difference. Most state assume unwed mother is sole custodian unless there is a curt order to the contrary. If married you need to call police when you feel threatened. I found out the hardest way if there are no reports then there is no abuse. The police will separate the offender from the victim. It's up to you to follow through with a PPO and Support order. If you are staying because you can't afford to leave I'm telling you now you can't afford to stay. As your children grow and you get older you and they will be more than bruised you will be broke. Call Domestic abuse hot line to find out the assistance available where you live. You will be surprised to find out how much help is out there now that didn't exist before. If married get a lawyer and file for custody and waiver of fees. Most courts are not going to let abuser had children even if he only hits you. Good luck!

  3. He has to leave sometime.You file assault charges and go to the women's shelter my tax money pays for and quit being weak.

    You DO have somewhere to go, the women's shelter and they DO have rules.That means you cannot go to the bars and clubs on the week ends, you cannot call your  husband (or b/f whatever he is to you) and say "I had you jailed and I am in a safe place to where you cannot get me,I have the kids and you will have to pay child support na na na na na na" or "We need to talk, can we meet?"

    So that he sees you have bullied him with the 911 and now he has to do as you say or else,(doesn't work) which only works until AFTER you have dropped the charges.

    You have access to a computer to say things about him that could  get you into trouble with him.get in touch with the authorities hon.They are there to protect you and your kids.


  4. CALL THE POLICE GIRL! Give a phone call to a family member tell them you need there help. If you live with the children's father try leaving in the middle of the night and get away pack up important items to stay on the run. Clothes and Food Get Out Of The House!! If you own a car use it during the night  

  5. CALL THE POLICE

  6. Call the police, they will help you find a place to stay. You can't stay there until he kills you or the kids. I take it you have no family to turn too?

    I am sorry but you need to do whatever you can to get out of there now.
