I am recently divorced. I have 18yo and a 14yo sons. In the divorce I agreed to a schedule of three days with me. And four days with his father. A few weeks after the divorce was final, my 14yo son tells me that he doesn't want to spend that much time at his fathers because he is, for a better term, verbally and emotionally abusive. I already knew this which is why I am divorced in the first place. When I separated from him a while back he became very threatening and he harassed me constantly. I got an order of protection against him. But it didn't do any good. He said that he only acted like that because I took the kids away from him. Trying to protect my children from having to deal with that behavior from him again, I agreed to everything he wanted in the divorce. 4 days with him, and 3 days with me. But the harassment hasn't stopped. And he's made it so that my sons don't really want to spend time with him. But he won't negotiate on what's best for our sons mental well being. He's even called the cops on me because I picked up my son from his house after they had a fight. I said let him stay here while you two cool down. But he called the cops and said I'm not following the agreement. And even tried to say I kidnapped him. I filed for modification of the schedule. But I'd like to know what I can do to to be prepared to state my case in front of a judge. I'm afraid that the judge will say that I agreed to the schedule. Why would I do that after I knew what he was like. But I was just trying to protect them from the threats and emotional abuse from when I took them the first time. It didn't work because the threats continue. And the mental abuse remains. On me and the kids. And they don't want to be around him. How do I prepare myself to let the judge see the truth?
