If the ex accuses you of domestic violence, sexual abuse, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction or abusing or neglecting the child(ren) in any way the man is considered guilty until proven otherwise. Family court does not have the rules of evidence that criminal court does.

I have had this convestation with my lawyer and it sucks but it's true. Absent any other evidence and disregarding any testimony by the children a man is guilty of whatever his ex accuses him of in family court.

If I did not have a relative with deep pockets paying my lawyer I would not be allowed to see my kids today. I would be required to pay child support regardless of my actual ability to pay and still support myself in poverty. Men go to jail and stay in jail for inablility to pay child support even if they are homeless when they are thrown in jail.

America is a prison for many. Believe it.
