New thread - starting the protection phase!

[JinBK]

The big problem here is that there are no police reports about your H's abuse. This I do not blame you for - I understand how this works. You said the police talked you out of pressing charges. They do this a lot. It pisses me off. My stepmom has worked most of her life in Family Law and with domestic violence situations, so I have a good understanding of what happens.

Anyway, if you have to give your H shared custody, I would keep a close eye on your S for bruises and listen carefully to what he says. If you can, photograph him before he goes for a visit, then after. Call the police immediately if your S says something about H hurting him or if you see any strange bruises that aren't from normal little boy things. Don't let them talk you out of pressing charges.

BUT it does sound like you are doing very well! Keep it up!
