I am so sorry to hear this awful news. My heart aches for you and your children. There is a very special place in hell for "Dick".
I continue to keep you and your precious children in my prayers as you build your case against this horrible man.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
