My wife and I are having some difficulties with her ex husband to the point where every where we turn it feels like more closed doors and nobody wanting to deal with the situation.
There is constant on going issues of our daughter having ADHD in which the father does not believe in the diagnosis and refuses to treat her with her medication as prescribed by a specialist in child behavior. Recently the issues have come down to bruises being left on her legs from being spanked with items (has been reported to cps but all they did was talk to him nothing ever came of the reports), on two occasions now he has refused to take her during his visitation (but will take the son only).
He has stated to both the mother and the daughter that the reason she is not allowed to go is because she cannot behave and wont listen so she isn't allowed to go.
What can be done ? Who can we talk to ? We are barely making ends meet financially and the lawyers we have been referred to so far have been so expensive that we would never be able to come up with that kind of money. We are really trying to get help before its too late both for our son and daughter.
Thank you for your time.
