Location: Ohio. Wife started a new job early this year met a guy. Cheated on me. Come to find out his young daughter aged around 10-14 has been pursuing rape charges against him for about a year now. His ex went to CPS got a PPO against him and he signed away his rights to his 3 children and they live in fear of him. And my stbxw doesn’t believe he’s guilty of anything. I have two young children and boy 6 and daughter 2 and worry for their safety. I talked to my lawyer today and he said there’s nothing I can do to keep him away from the kids. The kids haven’t met him or been around him yet but stbxw says eventually they will once his case is over. I fear that like many other sexual abuse cases that his charges will be dropped or dismissed or whatever and that by no means proves innocence. How can I keep my kids safe? Do I go for full custody? That sounds expensive and not great for the kids. But I fear my children in the future will wish I had exhausted every option and every dollar to keep them safe. The lawyer said nothing can be done until there’s abuse to my children and that the PPO his ex got doesn’t hold any water. That judges err on the side of caution. By that same logic wouldn’t it be cautious to keep him away from my kids too? By the time he abuses my children it’ll be too late.
