What is the name of your state? Florida
Okay it's quite a long story, however, My X husband and I divorced 3 years ago. We have a standing custody/child support agreement. He is on time with child support and no physical abuse is happing to my daughter that I am aware of. About six months ago my X husband was charged with Domestic Violence against his new wife. Granted he did the same thing to me when we were married hence the reason we are divorce. However, there is no documentation of this.I was not made aware of this until recently. He was sent to a batters intervention course and had to stay in contact with a probation officer during this time. He petitoned the court to have the one year probation reduced to six months. They agreed with input from the probation officer and his lawyer. He was never prosecuted by the DA. So the case is now closed.
Okay my questions is can him being charged with domestic violence be used as a substancial change in circumanstances to get a hearing in regards to custody? I'm am afraid that my daughter is watching this level of violence in his home and I don't want that for her. If I did I would have stayed married to him. We currently have joint custody with me as the primary custodial parent. I don't feel that any amount of therapy will help him change and I don't want my daughter growing up thinking this is how a man should treat a woman. Any help is appreciated.
