My ex husband sent me a change of address and phone # in Louisiana (where the case resides) in March. He has had all his visits but I have come to find out from my only daughter (4yrs old) that he was living with someone, I looked up the phone listing which was listed to Mr and Mrs. I assumed he was married, they broke up after about 4 months and I just found out he never was married to her. Now the other lady's daughter who they told my daughter was her sister is gone and my daughter is hurt. CAN HE DO THIS?

Previous to this relationship we was living at home with his parents (alcoholic mother and HIV positive gay brother) keeping my daughter in his room, sleeping with her and I have also been told he was bathing with her by more people than my daughter. Now he has moved into a one bedroom apartment. I am not comfortable with what is going on, but have no proof to accuse him of anything even thought I feel his conduct is not proper. Plus I am afraid of them turing around anything I say like they have done everything I ever tried to say to protect her or me.

I was divorced before my daughter was born. His marriage to me lasted almost 2 months and before me another woman had his child who also only lived with him for a short time, whom I had no knowledge of while I was married. My ex acts like her child is not his, although proved with dna testing and looks just like him and he pays child support. His father is an attorney and during my pregnancy I asked my ex to give up is parental rights because of the history with the other woman and the child he didn't want. His father the attorney (child custody specialist for 30 yrs) swore revenge and I have been legally harrassed ever since. In spite of which I was made primary custodial parent.

I have tried to change the jurisdiction to Texas no avail, which only hurt me in Louisiana court, because the judge holds it against me. The judge punishs me when I am the vicitm of all the harrassment, telling me I "can stop this at any time", he also told me "I don't care if he beat the crap out of you until there is a bruise on the baby I don't want to hear about it". He tried to make me loose the baby, stalked me and tried to take her from the hospital when she was born, until I moved to Texas he drove by my house and crank called me. The judge also told me he would put the child in the state's custody if I continued the conflict! There have been countless accusations, contempt of court, and all kinds of motions filed against me that were completely made up. Anything his father felt like filing. Constantly filing to reverse the custody. I have been to court all these countless times to only defend myself. My daughter is now 4, I can't even put her in preschool because of the visitation schedule. We will have to go back to court to get her to school next year. Which I have been told they will fight to have her go to school in LA.

When my daughter's skin was blistered off her bottom and bleeding, from his neglect to take her to the doctor after she had diarrhea for more than 5 days, in court they called it "diaper rash" and ignored it, they also have been able to ignore my restraining order I obtained at my divorce and it seems they can do anything they want. It even was proved in court that during several of his visits he was not even in the same town with my daughter and his alcoholic mother was the only one with her most of the time, but that made no difference, it seemed the judge knew the visitation was wanted only for the grandparents and didn't care if he wasn't there.

I can't change judges, because they all know his father better than this one, so I am bullied by my lawyer in LA he will not speak out to defend me, or ask for the things I want. He talks to my ex's father almost every day since they work together, so forget Lawyer/client confidentiality in the 'good old boys network', they all act like I don't know anything because I am a woman. They have pushed father's rights to the max and dare me to fight them. I tried to hire almost every lawyer in this small town, most refused because my ex's father was a friend of theirs, I hired and was screwed over by 4 people, I hired one from out of town and she helped me until they started harassing her, then she told me she could not continue.

There is no fair representation for me in Louisiana by my own lawyer, the judge favors them, plus all the pull and free filing his father puts in. HOW CAN I FIGHT THIS? The court refuses to let the case go to Texas, is that worth pursuing for the hope of a fair trial?
