... ex husband got away with everything!! He is continuing to do so, a little background he was abusive verbally and physically I have no police report from any of those attacks, (word to the wise call the police on everything when it happens) I couldn't call the cops due to what would happen after I did.. I wouldn't be alive today, make a long story short we had custody hearing and he won due to the child being in school for a month, only reason why he was in school was because I was only thinking of the child for his education I would have never agreed if It meant for him to get taken away from me, He lied on the stand I know it he knows it to get custody of him... its been a year my son is 6 and he is not happy at all there what do I do now? I went through legal aid where I live and I can't afford an attorney what now? Please any ideas out there?

Sorry, but no

You did not lose custody because the child is in school, if he is a school age child, you may loose custody for not having him in school.

So when you moved out, did you not take the child with you ? Children can be moved to new schools?

Sorry but there has to be more to this.
Also no, had you called the police he may have known not to do these things, or he would be in jail for doing them.
You are still making excuses and need to get into therapy to deal with the abuse.

Your right there is more to this... he took off with my son when he left and took me two weeks to find him, that was in 06, by the time I found him we went to court and got divorced, judge ordered that the boy should have his mom and his dad after the judge said "I have no doubt that you abused her even though she has no solid proof but she shows signs of an abused person" so for 3 years he went month to month then in September of 09 he was ordered to live with his dad and I got visitation due to he had been established in school, I was never involved with drugs or anything of that sort, I did go to therapy, everything I did was for my son, when he was enrolled in school it happened to be the month that my son was with his dad, and for my son in mind I told my ex that I think it would be a great idea after he asked me what I thought of him going to school there not knowing his lawyer told him to make sure I consent to it to help him keep our son with him... now I can't even pick up my son from his school for even lunch if I wanted to, he keeps contact to me and my son as low as possible, the judge that we had in 2009 said "this is a close case both parents seem to love their child very much and the mom has shown more love for her son and more concern... but I have to award custody to the farther because he just started school and it wouldn't be wise to uproot him from that" really school I think won it.. I should have called the cops all those years ago, I have all the reasons in the world why I didn't young, stupid, didn't know they could help and didn't want to get them involved I was so embarrassed of the bruises and really I got threatened that if I ever called them that he would kill me... and never see my son again! As young and as scared as I was didn't know what to do, I know A lot better now... just trying to figure what to do next, o and I forgot to add the part for the time he was in the Army 2002 to 2005 it was in 2004 we got FAKE "Divorced" from 2004 to 2005 he was a recruiter in his home town and hated it because all of his friends dodged him so he came home and cried in tears that he wanted out so he told me when he went to school for recruiting school for the army he said he couldn't be an active if he was a single parent and I had to sign over the rights to my son so he could get out of the army, with my life threatened I signed over my son, I WAS STILL THE CARE TAKER of my son I did everything for him we LIVED together he told me that we were still married by common law, in October 31 of 2005 we got remarried not realizing I had the rights back to my son might I add, and he was released from the army in November of 2005 when he shouldn't have been because he was married the proof is in the paperwork, and that's second time he got out of the military back when he was 17 he signed up for the national guard and his dad told him that it wasn't a good idea so he dropped out of school keeping him from getting a HS diploma I was dumb to even get with this guy but what is done is done so now I am just trying to see what my options are so any ideas? Lol good luck with all that is probably the response I will be getting
Really thank you for anyone who reads this to help!! :D

By the way yes I was very naïve and very manipulated, and totally believed every word he said never looked into telling me what he said was true, that's the part that just keeps eating at me, in 2006 he went to the national guard and talked to them about joining because he had experience in the army and he had me wait for him in the car while he went in to talk to the recruiter and he told me that in order for him to join he had to have me sign a paper that I would never leave him as a single parent again.. and we had to go to court for me to reinstated the rights for me to be around my son and he kept telling me if I took my son anywhere with out his consent I could get arrested for kidnapping which was total BS because when we got remarried I got my rights back, in 2007 I called the army to let them know what happened with the fraudulent against the army that he and I did and nothing happened, he took off with my son nothing happened, he stole money that he shouldn't have from the army for school that he shouldn't have, benefits of a honor discharge that he shouldn't have, he shouldn't have our son he was abusive with the only proof that I had signs of and abused person... to a judge, he got away with everything and I mean everything... so I just wanting to know if there is anyone out there with any ideas? This isn't an answer by the way just some one posted there has to be more to the story and that about covers it, so please please please anyone can you help me?
