My fiance has temporary joint legal custody of his 6 yr old son. His new step father gave him a "spanking" that bruised his thigh and ribs and now the mother is trying to take joint custody away and also summer visitation . The paper from her atty. contains sooo many false allegations against him as well as myself. One of the points is that my fiance reported the stepdad and mother to DSS for spanking and is trying to ruin the relationship his son has with his stepfather! Atty.'s are soo expensive and Johnston County , NC is so "back-woods". Legal Aid in NC says they will not be involved b/c DSS is involved with the mother and step-father. We have all documentation from ER doctors, pictures of the injuries, involvement of National Child abuse advocacy agency, sheriff's dept, etc. My fiance wants to be able to remove his son from this abusive home, but DSS feels that a beating like that is only neglect and the child is safe in that home! Now she is trying to increase the time spent in her abusive home and decrease the time spent in our safe home!! It is so hard to be so powerless in helping his son!! Any ideas????
