From what I was told, in PA they do not give sole custody unless the other parent is convicted of a crime. They frown upon sole custody for the childs sake. I understand that, but what if the other parent has a history, with witnesses, of verbal & mental abuse? Since he asked for the divorce he has tried to get the girls to go with him
by buying them things, etc., that did not work. He has totally controlled his time with them by changing times and
days whenever he feels like it. He has controlled and minipulated his own children through all of this and they are very afraid of him. They will not tell him how they feel because they are afraid of his reactions. He had our youngest daughter for awhile because of constant fighting between the two girls & he went for support modification & custody after 2 days. She wanted to come home but was afraid to tell him. I got her back & happy to say she is
getting back to her old self. Last week he decided that
he was going to have them (my weekend) & he told them that
they would go! He never asked me. We were out for 3 1/2
hours after he told them he would pick them up & he was
waiting for us when we pulled in the parking lot. I left
the parking lot & as I did he went back to his car, I believe, to follow us. The girls were terrified, as was I.
We ended up staying at a friends house overnight because the
girls were afraid to go home! I don't know what I can do.
They do not want to go with him overnight. Its ok for them to go with him one night a week but they don't want to go
on every other weekend to his girlfriends house. We are not even divorced yet (one year after he asked for it),
and he has been taking them on his weekends to his 2nd girlfriends house! Would it be wrong to ask for no overnight visits until he gets his own place or gets married again? I would also like to request that he get
some kind of anger management classes & or parenting classes, can I do that too? My girls have suffered enough
and they are mentally fragile right now. PMAC61
