False Accusations of Child Abuse During a Divorce

Standing up to false accusations of child abuse during a divorce protects not only your relationship with your children, but your future employment and quality of life as well.  It is important to note Dodd & Dodd Attorneys, PLLC is committed to the safety and protection of all, and domestic violence is a serious issue.  Unfortunately, we have seen multiple cases where one of the parties needed legal assistance to stand up to false accusations of child abuse during divorce proceedings.

There are multiple reasons why one spouse would falsely accuse the other of child abuse during a divorce.  The purpose is often to affect child custody and parenting time orders.  This may be due to anger over events between the couple such as infidelity or the accuser may simply face mental health or anger management issues.

It is quite easy to obtain an Emergency Protective Order in Louisville through false accusations of child abuse.  If you have been served with a temporary restraining order and you are in the midst of a divorce you need to contact Dodd & Dodd Attorneys, PLLC immediately or call 502-584-1108 to schedule an immediate appointment with one of our attorneys.  Standing up to false accusations of child abuse during a divorce can protect your rights as a parent and will make a substantial difference in child custody and parenting time.  Time is precious in these cases.

The first thing to understand is the orders within the restraining order itself. “No contact” means exactly that. Do not contact the other party in any format including but not limited to:

    • phone call
    • text
    • email
    • social media or instant messenger
    • contact through friends, family or other intermediaries
    • US Mail

Violation of these orders can harm your case and affect not only the outcome at the permanent restraining order hearing (within 101 days) but also in child custody and parenting time and child support orders in your divorce case.
