My brother is going through separation right now and I’m desperate to help him out as he’s struggling without his kids.
Incident was my brother had his daughter in his arms as she was crying for comfort and his wife tried to pull her away from him because she didn’t want him to go with him out. In reaction, my brother pushed her away to protect their daughter. Wife claimed abuse and called the cops. Cops charged him with dv and he said nothing to them as per his lawyer. Wife wrote there was a history of abuse which is not true at all. She’s been trying to ruin my brother for sometime as there was bad blood between the in laws. She even said ‘I’m going to ruin your reputation’. She has a history of pulling her daughter away from people including my mom.
Long story short, I want to know how this would affect his custody. Cas has also been involved because the child witnessed the incident. They’ve backed off though now for some time. He’s very close to the kids and was more active than the wife in caring for them (our parevts babysat them for years, he works from home to take care of them and is heavily involved in their extracurricular activities more so than the wife).
I’m worried the family court will look at this different for custody. Just any opinions would be appreciated. Any chance of 50/50? I feel the wife is going to exaggerate the claim and run with it. It’s ruining my brothers life. His lawyer said it may decrease custody but they can’t say cause they don’t know how much she’ll claim.
