Summary: If your child's other parent is attempting to exercise complete control over your child and their relationship with you, and this effort to control becomes more pronounced the more you resist, or whenever the court doesn't see things their way, expect an allegation of abuse.

 

If your child's other parent is attempting to exercise complete control over your child and their relationship with you, and this effort to control becomes more pronounced the more you resist, or whenever the Court doesn't see things their way, expect an allegation of abuse.

Also, if your child's other parent was themselves abused as a child, believes that they were abused, or is in therapy for being a "survivor of abuse", you are a prime candidate for being falsely accused of abusing your child yourself.

Many people are unable to believe that the person with whom they were once involved, that person who "knows that they would never do such a thing", would make such an allegation.

Believe it.

It happens all the time.

It is much better to be prepared than to have to defend such an accusation unprepared. And, should the allegation not occur, the suggested measures will have no adverse impact on the co-parenting relationship.

On the other hand, if the allegation does occur, you will be in a much better position to demonstrate to the Court that you could not possibly have done that of which you are being accused, because you never had an opportunity to do so.

This not only helps to show that you are not guilty of the abuse of which you are being accused, but has the correlational benefit of proving that your ex is lying, and will go to any lengths to get you out of your child's life, including lying to the Court.

For the list of measures to take to help protect yourself against false allegations of abuse, please review Lesson #11.
