How Domestic Violence in a DIFFERENT Relationship Affects Child Custody
In this week's video, I answer a question from a viewer about domestic violence that is committed in a DIFFERENT relationship than the one where child custody is being litigated.
One of my viewers is going through a divorce and her soon to be ex-husband has a 15-year old child from a different relationship. And then she and her soon to be ex-husband have a younger child together.
The soon to be ex-husband got into an altercation with his 15-year old daughter from the other relationship which resulted in some marks on her. What happened then was child protective services from her state got involved and stated that there may be evidence of child abuse taking place between the husband and his 15-year old daughter.
So my viewer wants to know is can she use that information as evidence in her own divorce and custody case regarding the younger child that she and her husband share.
The answer is yes it can and it goes back to the Best Interest of the Child Factors that I talk about in so...
