I have read your other postings. I think your husband is a lousy coward. He is the one who beat your son and nearly choked him....thats not a spanking. If your son did something wrong and you did in fact tell him to discipline your son with a spanking, then a spanking is a spanking...a few little taps on his bottom....thats a spanking.
I doubt very much whether he has you on tape saying to give your son a spanking, otherwise he would have used it in court. I dont know too much about the law, but if you had a lawyer, that lawyer would be privvy to any evidence the other side would have, so your lawyer would have known about any evidence your ex husband may have had. To me, its all bluff, and even if you were on tape saying ok, give him a spanking....did you tell him to beat the sh###t out of your son and choke him? A good lawyer could get you out of that situation, if, in fact, there is a tape at all. A lawyer would argue what a spanking as opposed to a beating is.
Your ex sounds like a horrible vindictive abusive SOB. Abuse comes in varying forms and you would have been suffering his abuse as well....maybe not physically, but you were powerless to stop him, so that tells me you were in fear of him. A lot of people need to look into domestic violence situations before they pass judgement on why you stay. Fear makes people do all sorts of crazy things. He is still abusing you, even though you two are not together....he is frightening you with threats.
I say, call his bluff, but before you do that...have a talk to your lawyer and see if there is, in fact, a tape...Your ex is such a horrible cowardly dog, that if he had a tape he sure as hell would have used it. He wants to get back at you...he wants to make you pay so he is using everything he possibly can to make you afraid. Think about it.....isnt that what he has been doing your entire married life? He has seen it work many a time, and he sees it working again.
I dont care what anyone says, I think you were very brave in putting an end to his abuse by calling the police....only you know what it was like living that existence and until someone else is in an abusive relationship then they havent got a clue.
You have to cut off total contact with this man because every type of contact you have with him causes you stress and fear....you dont need it....Talk to a Lawyer.....get it over and done with.....get him out of your life for goood....and do it legally....dont let him have this power over you any more.
I just need to add, that if your husband got off scott free it was a decision that particular judge made.....another judge may see it differently....Whatever the case, you called the police to protect your son and I take it the Police charged him with child abuse, then the judge said no, it wasnt child abuse. It is all on record....just go see a different lawyer....see what other options are available to you to get this man out of both you and your son's life.

You don't own the kids, you know. Fathers have a few rights too. I don't see any perjury issue here.

You should spank your children within reason (spare the rod, spoil the child).
