What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
After a coworker mentioned the case of the father/daughter who were recently arrested for incest, and had their children(who were born to them) removed from them, it's brought a question to my mind regarding my own situation.
I am the primary custodian of my child. I was granted custody based on my ex moving back and forth between my current town, and another state. The father has now lived here ever since we filed the court papers. He's remarried, and has been in the area solidly for 4 years, including a job(but is behind about 6 months on CS, due to lack of employment). (I say all this, because all the reasons I used in court, are now nonexistent, therefore making the other parent's "wrongs", not applicable, unless I keep throwing out the old accusations).
Now, my question is in regards to cohabitation of my own. I am involved in a domestic partnership with a direct(first level) relative. The noncustodial parent has been aware, but with my lawyer, I was able to keep them from using it in court. However, I’ve recently been worried that if they were to call CPS, or the state or something, that I could lose custody. This was especially heightened after a discussion with the NCP's prior employer, when I called to verify the NCP's employment. The town where the other parent lives is in a backwoods area, and I guess word gets around, and the woman pretty much told me to never call again, and that they weren't involved, and if I wasn't involved in such unholy living conditions, I wouldn't be worried about what my ex is doing.
I already have other children(who do not reside with me), who’s custodial parent REFUSES to allow me to visit with, due to the relationship I am involved in. I know that my ex and my other children’s parent are friends, and so all this knowledge has been shared. My children have also witnessed my relationship. The relative and I have been in love a very long time, and are now able to be together. We’ve both moved cross country, so that we can make this work. However, now I’m concerned that I could lose custody over this. I was able to keep it out of court using objections, but I’m not going to be able to hide this from cps. Will they take my child from me? Will they be able to actually keep my other children from me? My other ex, says they found out when our child told their class during a discussion of divorced families. Apparently, my child stated that I'd slept with this person(we were actually sleeping, not doing anything dirty), and when the teacher asked for clarification, my child gave it. The teacher contacted the guidance counselor, who then contacted my ex, and now my child is in therapy. The therapist is lobbying for my ex to take away visitation as long as the relationship continues, OR to force me to have supervised only.
Please, I am not a troll. These types of relationships are a lot more prevalent than they used to be, and are becoming more and more accepted. My family is aware, although we more or less told them that they had to accept us both, or leave us both.
