I have a quick question. My husband filed divorce after he got my papers thrown out. When we go to court will i be able to tell what this man has done to me over the last few years, the metal and verbal abuse. I havnt had a chance to sit down with my lawyer and talk about everything just yet b/c im in a different state. but he knows enough to have the man put in jail. but just wondering what all happens in a court room and will this stuff come out even in the temp custody hearing?

child abuse towards my son. my son is 5 and not scared to tell anyone that my ex duck taped his feet, hands and mouth and threw him in a bath tub of running water. all becouse he wouldnt mind.( he was 4 when it happened) the other kids and myself were gone from the house when it happened.( we was gone only for about 30 min) my husband said " now that you know about it you will go to jail too" and that all the kids would be put in foster homes. i finally relized that he was just telling me that so i wouldnt call the cops or tell anyone. when that happened it took me about a week to get the money together to leave and go back to memphis. (500 miles away) but he wouldnt let me leave with the child we had together.

It will start an investigation. Don't assume that it will put him in jail.

Everything you document will be seen as a he says/she says situation in a divorce. They will do an investigation and you will be questioned on why your child was not brought to a doctor and reported when it happened.
Document and it will help your case, but he may not be charged.

as soon as i found out (when i got home) he started with the threats toward me. if i would have reported it, i might not be here right now. i just handled the situation the best way i could. thanks for the help...my husband is now tryin to act rational about the hole divorce thing. he finaly realized its hard to take a child from its mother...we are trying to come up with a parenting agreement that we can both live with. and that would be best for the baby. hopefully he's not tryin to screw me over but if he does. i still have the upper hand in the whole thing...thanks

Be careful of making charges it may make matters a whole lot worse. Your Attorney is the person to speak to.
Good Luck...

Thank ya'll so much for the help. We go to court wednesday. Him and I have come to an agreement to not hurt each other anymore. This fighting over he said she said stuff has to stop in order for him and I to come together to raise our child. I guess we both grew up in this hole ordeal. Dont know have to wait to see what happens.
