Ex's girlfriend makes inappropriate comment in Facebook post

Jody said:
Is the Facebook post abusive enough to justify a CPS investigation? If not, then it’s not abuse.

This is not a good measure for emotional abuse, manipulation, or parental alienation. These types of abuse are subtle and require much more evidence because they involve small things that show manipulation.

@Sidney
OP’s post is about one snide comment.

If he has moved already, that should really help your case with your daughter. The girlfriend’s comments on social media won’t help them.

Not reading this wall of text. Judges aren’t going to have time or patience for Facebook drama. Block them and move on with your life.

You are dead wrong. Depending on what is posted publicly, judges care a lot. If the ex-spouse’s new partner is posting about children that are not theirs, those posts can absolutely affect custody. I’ve been through the system.

This should be the top comment!

Okay, you’re more concerned about social media than getting your minor son to stop doing illegal things?

There’s a lot more to the story about my son smoking weed. My husband and I searched his room for months, found vapes and weed, called the cops, tried to get the school to address truancy, took him to counseling, and tried to get him on probation. We took his phone and didn’t let him go anywhere except school and home, and nothing changed. Our concern has always been about my child’s safety. We eventually decided that we had done everything we could and agreed to keep open communication about it. He’s now playing football and has improved his grades dramatically, so in the end, we achieved what any parent could hope for.

Is there any way to hold him accountable for lying about your husband? You should gather screenshots of everything.

Yes, we have already shown that almost everything he submitted to the court was false, including the abuse allegations.

@Robin
Him lying to the court should have resulted in consequences. Why wasn’t he held accountable?

We are still in trial. The judge made it clear last time that my ex needs to provide proof of his allegations or reasonable evidence to support them before the next court date.
