HEY JerryRG:
Sounds like you are in a very stressful situation. It can be hard to decide on the best way to handle something. Erring on the side of safety is usually the best decision. Unfortunately, we can't please everyone and there is a pro and con to every action. Sorry you are dodging those hornets right now.
Something inside me feels wrong, I know I had no choice but to file. I did find out I made a mistake in not insisting I maintain custody until she resolves this issue with her bf.
What makes you feel wrong? When is the next court date?
Hopefully the next court date is soon and you can get an order to maintain custody at that time.
I will not allow my son to be with someone who beats women!
Great decision for you to take action to keep the abusive boyfriend away! Even if your son's mom is angry right now, you did her a favor.
