How to change a court rulling?

If you believe that he is really abusing them, you have every right to keep them. Filing the police report and alerting social services was good because he may accuse you of kidnapping the children, when you can prove you were trying to protect them. How old are your children?

BTW you can also try to file for emergency custody. Your county clerk can tell you what you need to do as the procedure is different for every county.

I went through that in cali my son was thrown across the room and kicked by his father i called cps they put them in my care until a investigation which took 1 day they say the abuse was unfounded and gave the kids back to him. My kid had bruises and cuts and police took pictures but DA even said they wouldn't prosecute not enough evidence so i guess i'm saying good luck. No one believed my kids were in danger from the father so he got them back and now i hear he's been smoking crack and homless with my sons and i live in KS now. but am seeking sole custody so i'm going through some stressfull times. If you kids are old enough for someone to listen they need to tell someone what they are experiencing that will help out the most i think. Good luck child protective have done nothing to protect my sons they were called and they took my sons in protective custody until they found the father and gave them back to him even though he was homeless they wouldn't give them to me because i was out of state even though i have a house and 2 jobs...i hate them....

I live in Mo. and am facing the same issues (for the most part in TX.) ...It is UNREAL! My EX is a bounty Hunter therefore it seems he is beyond the law.... NO MATTER THE PROOF or statements from DR's.. I to have gotten NO response from cps..NOT even a visitation with the children when bruises where left and they where taken on a bounty hunt and was used at a back door for a look out that went VERY WRONG! They could have been killed...yet all was given a=was a letter stating ''No investigation warranted''...

.KEEP PUSHING till you get someone to listen! As a MOM I feel the pain you are having...it cuts your very heart out!

I hope everything works out for your children GOD BLESS THEM!

You should probably take him back to court. Calling the child abuse hotline won't generate a report for abuse necessarily unless you have specific allegations regarding the abuse. Your child would also have to disclose the abuse as well when interviewed. Calling MO would not do any good because the child lives in MS. If abuse is found, the child could be placed in the custody of the state of MS and they could possibly place the child back with you (while still retaining custody) unless they would have information that you would not be a suitable placement. Custody could be retained by the state until the court order is reversed. Sometimes, instead of the state having custody of the child, the father could agree to allow the child to live with someone else until he does the things necessary for the child to returned to him. It would be up to the father to provide names of suitable people to care for the child. If he would chose you, you could work towards changing the custody agreement through the court while you have the child. It would ultimately be better if you would file for a change in custody without getting the state involved, unless you child is in immediate danger. Your child's safety needs to be your first priority.
