Stepmom between rock and hard place I am married to a man who has two children from a previous marriage and we live in the state of Virginia. He has custody of oldest son (who lives with us) and ex-wife has custody of youngest son (who lives with her). We also have a son together (4yrs) who lives with us as well. The ex-wife constantly encourages the oldest son to misbehave, claim being abused, etc., so that he can come back to live with her. She also has a consistent pattern to make other allegations (about other family members, i.e. molestation and abuse) towards the oldest child - but when the child is questioned, he denies ever having talked with this to the mom. Social Services has now become involved over the molestation allegation she rendered. I want to know what position this has placed 'my child' in, our 4-year-old. If they do 'remove' the oldest child from our home, will they also remove the 4-year-old? There are no complaints or further allegations which concern the 4-year-old at all, nor are there any complaints filed against me personally.
All of this is simply just a mess over a string of untruths and an ex-wife that simply just won't let well enough alone and is not happy unless someone else is miserable. But, in the best interests of my child, I need to know how this could possibly affect him and what steps I need to take to ensure that my child stays with me. Thanks in advance! |
