My ex took out a DVO on me (which wasnt even properly served to me by the police) after i broke that DVO via texting her in anger over not seeing my kids she had me locked up in the police watch house. While i was in the watchhouse i got charged by the police for an alleged r**e offense which apparently happened 6 months prior. Now i am not a violent person and i have never raped her but 2 years later here i am. I have been through hell and back.
The DVO effectively stopped me from seeing my kids as we were separated that time and i unknowingly signed away a form giving her 100% custody of the kids. Apparently we were working on getting back together. And she basically told me that i was not to see anyone else..which i completely believed (i am a trusting person) but got upset when i found out she was seeing other men.
I have wisened up and played the patient keeping my cool game and things have turned around. Filed for custody of my kids etc. The truth has come around, her friends dont want anything to do with her, and she will be going back to court to be cross examined for her criminal allegations against me within the next month. adding to that i have got my kids 3 nights every alternate weekend and will be getting them 50/50 or even 100%.
No heres the catch. She attempted to commit suicide by swallowing tablets last week in the presence of the kids and no one not even her new partner or his family has told me even after i came into contact with them while she was admitted. The children are with me now and accourding to the family court order they go back to her on Monday (Today is sunday).
However given the recent event what are my options with regards to keeping my kids? Can i legally keep them and not have them go back? She is still at the mental ward on suicide watch and i am uncomfortable sending that back to be taken care of by her new partner or his family. I am more than able to look after my kids. Any advice would be appreciated thanks
