Answers:
i agree with most of what lanani says but don't take the pictures of bruises yourself have the police or cps take them or they are not allowed as evidence in court because you could have done it yourself. I've had this problem before imagine having a judge accuse you of beating your child just to make the other parent look bad. I started crying and said fine can I bring the kids in to say how it was done. I didn't get supervised visits which is what I was asking for but he stoped hurting them because he knows I will have him by the balls if he ever touches them again.
Call child protective services and have them check into what is going on at your kids dads house. When you go back to court the cps worker will make a recommendation to the mediator or to the judge.
You can also request a lawyer to represent your childrens best interest. This lawyer will be paid for 50/50 between you and your ex but they will look at both sides and speak to the children.
Other Answers:
Keep a log of every time he sees your child, every time he calls, every time he says he'll see the child and doesn't show up. Keep it accurate and up-to-date.
Save his voicemails, his emails, and his letters. If there are marks on the child, take pictures.
YES, your kindergartener's opinion will count in court. And until he cleans his act up, don't let him take your daughter into that dangerous and abusive situation.
In the case of my son and my ex, I finally got to the point where I refused to let him go to his father's house. Both his father and the new girlfriend are alcoholics, and they smoke around my asthmatic baby. Pick a neutral ground to have visits with the child, like a park or a grandparent's house. It worked for me (so far).
You may have to get a court-appointed counselor to help you hammer out a visitation agreement.
But the bottom line is: if you truly believe that your ex or his new wife will harm the child, abuse the child, or neglect the child, file for full custody RIGHT NOW.
Good luck... feel free to email me through my contact link if you want to talk more about it. try its better to try than sit and do nothing.tell the courts that but your daughter needs to speak up too.
