I'm not sure. but Child Protective Services or your local protection agency. Also check with the neighbors and have them call the police, sheriff or CPS. You might also want to get with WEAVE for your self and kids afterwords.
Oh an afterthought ! Your kid can complain at school.
Remind them to keep the facts honest. Verbal humiliation is Abuse it doesn't have to be physical. The fear the drunk might tee off on the kids will disrupt them from completing their home work and assignments etc.That = abuse.

Without him being suspicious can you ask him if they can stay a extra few days. Maybe you would like to take them on an outing or visiting relatives would like to see them. Try to find something creative and believable. It's good you are seeing an attorney. Hopefully he can help. Sorry to say things do not work fast in the court system. If there is abuse you can call the police, but that could backfire on you. Be very careful how you persue this. You don't want to mess up your chances. Let you children know how much you care and love them. They need to know that during this difficult time. Take care and God Bless.

Joint custody way each have a say, however within the truly global, that does not make it so. Your mom could make her possess determination with out regard for your father, and it might fee him hundreds and hundreds of bucks to return to court docket to do whatever approximately it. This can take 6-18 months, at which the court docket regulations in opposition to him headquartered on the truth that it's already performed and not an difficulty. Might I advise you inform your father to assess out Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's handbook within the dossier phase that may be of use to him. two decades father's rights propose

You can call social services and try that,But to be honest the court order is law..I know it sucks but that is how it is...You could always go against the order if you believe they are in danger.Then when you go to court you can plead your case why you did what u did.Then you are taking a chance with the judge.I would do exactly what u are going to do..Call your lawyer and see what he says...Otherwise there really isn't much you can do until you see the judge.Good luck

Take some advice from a retired Cop who investigated umpty-hundred cases of spousal abuse, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Keep a record of dates and time and get as many details as you possibly can. If your children are old enough, buy them cell phones and instruct them on how to call the Cops. If they're not old enough, they make children's cell phone they can use to call you and let you know what's going on so you can call the Cops. DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES. Your children are far to precious to risk, no matter what some Family court Judge has to say. DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET THEM BACK IN YOUR CUSTODY. CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. If you can't do that file a joint custody request. There are organizations out there that will help you TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM! Cops are your best friends, ask them to help you. GET THEM OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

First off call DHS and file a report. You can do so anonymously. They will investigate and see what can be done. Maybe his g/f will fess up. With the kids and hopefully her evidence, they will give temporary custody to you or another family member until the court decides what to do. If they give temporary custody to you. First off file a restraining order against him. Hope this helps.

Can't you arrange with him for you to take the kids for a few weeks? It'll give you time while you consult your lawyer and plan your actions. And the kids will be relieved - temporarily at least. It must be really hard on them, and they never asked for any of this, poor things. He just may agree. After all, it'll give him a few weeks of (relative) peace and quiet, with no kids underfoot.
But whatever you do, lady, make sure you sort this out legally, and soon. Letting it drag on will just make things worse. For everyone.

In this order contact local authorities:
1) State Police
2) Sherriff's Office
3) City Police
4) CSP
5) The Judge residing over your court order.
6) Your attorney, and tell him what you have already done and why you did it.
Best of luck to you and your kiddos.
