Facts:
husband and his 4 children were left by the wife. She left on the basis of needing to "Find herself".
Wife was caught being with another man who has been convicting for physical abuse against women and one count against a child, plus has been convicted for cocaine use and dealing.
Husband before the knowledge of the wife's husband made sure that the children saw here on regular basis.
Children remained with father in the family home they have reside at for 7 years.
Children led a normal existance as possible considering mom left.
Wife decides she made a mistake after 4 months of absence and started showing up at husband's house to take the kids and furniture. One night she showed up drunk with two friends and boyfriend. Boyfriend threatened husband, the two friends took a dvd player, cops were called and dvd player was returned and wife was warned. The Boyfriend and two friends left before cops showed up.
Husband received threatening calls from boyfriend through out the whole absence of wife from home. First bout of phone calls was under the basis that is was just friend, second bout of phone calls was as boyfriend, since wife confessed. Boyfriend threatened husband that he can do anything to children with out husband being able to do anything. Husband got order of protection against boyfriend for a year. Judge dropped order of protection after one week with out informing the husband until a least 3 weeks later.
Wife showed up at husband's residence after new year to take children in which husband would not allow due to a prior arrangement between the two that she would have them during christmas and him after christmas. He told the children to go into the house. Wife left and went to court house for an order of protection claiming that he was keeping the children hostage, he was unstable, and popping pills. Cops showed back up and took children away. Husband cannot talk to nor see his children until Jan 16th at a hearing about the order of protection. He will in the process miss his son's 5th birthday, the two older children do not want to be at the mom's house. And mom's boyfriend will be present.
My question is how can first the courts allow the children be plucked out of their environment based on trumped up charges by mother who not only abandoned them but also has a bad element, the boyfriend around?
The husband cannot affor to battle this and feels completely stripped of his rights. The police officer asked the children if he held them hostage and they denied that allegation. However, until the court date this man and his children are being subjected to their rights being taken away; however, the wife has all the rights.
Now the husband is being harrassed by the wife's mother. What can a person in these circumstances do. I feel the children are being used in this situation and their welfare is at stake; however, the law seems to not care.
Any advice on what to do?
