The truth is that we can't protect our children from everything. Some of mothers have to let go a little bit, other mothers are raising their children in a horribly unsafe world. You're living somewhere between the two extremes.

My guess is that if your WH is determined to get 50% custody, he will. Your state is similar to where I live, where fathers who have far more serious documented abuses than your WH still get 50% custody. The cost of fighting a battle that you're going to lose includes money, life energy, the price your S6 would pay, and goodwill from your WH who will be coparenting with you. Sorry I can't offer you more encouragement about this...I wish I could. That's just my understanding of how things work legally in jurisdictions where the 50/50 model is firmly entrenched.

(((hugs))) You're in a really hard place but you can hold your head high knowing that you're doing the best that you can.
