Brandi do you not have a refuge centre you and the kids can go to. Here is the same as Heyys state, you would need extreme circumstances to prevent the father having joint custody, even if Joshua's dad took me to court now he'd get a fair amount of access even though he has no parental rights or no input in Joshua's life! if things are so bad then you need to put all your money into moving out and totally putting any thoughts of a reversal aside! Can you not go stay with family or friends? You also need to stop sleeping with him, even sharing a bed! thats really unfair on him!
There is one, but they're full and have a 7 week waiting list. They've already helped me fill out the forms for subsidized housing and written a report confirming abuse, which will get me out faster. Just spoke with CAS on the phone and they're holding me to leaving. They're also concerned with Mike's habits of verbally and emotionally abusing me and worried it might lead to physical again. I told them about the lawyer appointment and they said if I don't go, they will take temporary custody of the kids.
Because of the past physical abuse and continued emotional, mental, and verbal abuse, he's on a very thin line of having any sort of unsupervised visitation. Like I said, I ultimately WANT to have full joint custody...he has them one week, I have them the next, or something along those lines, but at this point, until he gets help, it won't be happening.
