[QUOTE="Shari, post: 129836, member: 1848"] I don't know, I'm torn. You're in a tough spot, for sure. However, if the courts didn't find enough evidence to convict and you withhold visitation, based on "unfounded charges", well...that's what the family law judge will see, too. You made an allegation, it didn't hold up in court, and you're continuing to make issue of it. Eventually your child will end up back with that man permanently. Just the way it works - they don't give custody to the parent that keeps the child from the other parent. I know there's more to the story. You know there's more to the story. But the court can't hear the "more to the story" because its unfounded. May not be fair, but is the way they'll see it. Also, for whatever reason, if difficult child is refusing to acknowledge there's ever been a problem, keeping difficult child from dad may just push difficult child TO dad. Twisted, I know, but that needs some serious help from a professional. Family counseling, too, so difficult child understands you have safety in mind, not just retaliation. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. It is such a bad place to be stuck. Unfortunately, you're not alone in it. Just hope Brett's SO takes a hike like the rest and the drive to see difficult child goes away. Many hugs to you all. [/QUOTE]
