My husband moved my 2 yr old and me out of state. I quit my job, sold our house, etc. A few months later, he started having an affair, refused counseling, and sent us back to LA. In the divorce (adultery proved), we both agreed to a judgment where he has visitation one weekend per month. My ex-husband has had several opportunities to move to LA, closer to our son, but has passed up the opportunities because the girlfriend he had the affair with couldn't move with him. He says they will move here this coming summer when convenient for her. He says he is going to bring me back to court for more custody when he is back in LA. This only seems to be a tactic to impress her and hurt me. He drinks and drives excessively and constantly goes out partying, but I have no way to prove either except possibly his credit card bills. He also raped and sexually attacked me; however, I had been in denial and only recently came to this realization through therapy and now I am afraid filing charges would look like retaliation. He has severe anger issues from his own childhood. I suffered badly with denial of these problems during our marriage because I loved him, etc. Because of these reasons, I don't want my son to see him any more than necessary, plus my thought is that if he really wanted to be with his son, he would have moved here by now (over a year and a half). I have done some things to his lover because of my hurt/anger/shock over the affair such as contacting her family/friends and telling her I have contacts to keep her from getting a job when she moves here, etc. My ex-husband says that by me keeping our son away from him, I am being mentally abusive. A therapist told me that once a month is enough visitation for him. What are the odds that he will be able to obtain more custody? What should I do to try to keep this from happening? [b]Any help or advice is very appreciated.[/b]
