Good day. I am having a huge issue with my husbands ex-wife. He and I have been married for 10 years and have a daughter together. He also has a daughter with her. He is a great father but the ex is making our lives miserabl and has been for the last 10 years. She is unhappy and wants us to be unhappy too. It is having a negative effect on both of our daughters. She recently climbed into my vehicle during a drop off and began choking me in front of our 6 year old daughter. I have pressed charges with the states attorney. She also does not foster a positive relationship between my hubby and me with her daughter. Should we file for custody? What are a father's chances of getting custody?

Hi Laughterfromclouds
Sorry to hear about your situation what is wrong with that woman? To become violent like that espeically in front of a child! This woman is crazy you may want to look into gathering some proof about her behavior . This is serious because Lord only knows what she is capapble of what does your husband have to say about it? Does your husband want to file for full custody of his child with the EX? If not he may want to consider that gather some proof of her ridiculous behavior and take it to Social Services.

Thank you. It is extremely difficult on our children. We have filed for custody so we need prayers. You had mentioned that I should bring this up to Social Services. Is there a particular department you had in mind?
Thanks

I am not sure exactly what department you would have to go to however if you just call the general number most likely they can diret your call try looking in th yellow pages under government. It may be listed under county government Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi. laughterfromtheclouds. Welcome to myLot!
I believe that, if he files an complaint and uses this against his ex wife into court, he may have a chance at getting custody of his other daughter. I think that he will have a greater chance since she has attacked you. This must have been also very scary for you to know that this woman wants to harm you.
She can't get mad because you are with him now. There is a reason why he is not with her now, and this may be one of the reasons. She is dangerous to all of you, I think that you should be careful, don't let your guard down as easily when you are alone. It seems, she will strike hard, when you do. Stay safe and take care.

If you can find grounds to prove that she is not fit to be a mother, then your husband has a great chance for custody. It is good that you pressed charges when she tried to choke you. That could be a proof that she is a violent person who is not at the right state of mind. But even if you get custody, it could be temporary should the ex-wife agree to take steps to improve her mental and emotional state. For example, court might just grant temporary custody while the ex-wife is fixing her issues like maybe take an anger management seminar or stuff. Then, if she completes the court's requirement, she might get her daughter back. I think your husband has to put his foot down and really talk to his ex-wife to sort things out. If the ex-wife still continues with her ways, then it's really time to talk legal matters.
