Child Abuse and Custody Cases
Allegations of child abuse can dramatically affect the outcome of custody cases. If child abuse was occurring prior to a divorce, it may have been the main catalyst for the separation.
Child abuse is a very serious allegation and children who are truly in danger of continued abuse should be removed from that situation as soon as possible.

What to Do In the Event of Child Abuse Allegations
Accusations of child abuse are taken extremely seriously. The normal rule of “innocent until proven guilty” does not usually apply in these cases. If child abuse is suspected or mentioned by a child, the following things should be done:
- Take the child as soon as possible to a respected and experience therapist who specializes in child psychology.
- If the therapist suspects that the child is being abused, his or her report should be used as a court order to immediately suspend contact with the accused abuser.
- After the child is out of harms way, continue with the divorce proceedings.
Child abuse allegations are a major factor in child custody cases and any possibility of abuse to should be brought to light.
