I have been going to court for the past 2 years over the custody of my son. My son lives with me and has standard visitation with his dad. it started out as a change to visitation when his dad moved out of state. He then decided he wanted primary custody in January of this year.
In Texas, the child is able to be heard by the judge at 12 years old. My son has been coached and talked to about me badly. He sees his dad as someone he needs to save. He tells me that no one likes his dad or his beliefs. His wife’s family thinks she has been brainwashed and doesn’t like him. My son is the child, but wants to take care of his dad.
At our hearing, I presented all the reasons My son should stay with me, etc. I even had copies of emails that My son’s dad had ranted and threatened me, my husband, and the school.
The only thing his dad testified to was all an attack on me. He never said why it would be better for My son to live with him or never said I was a bad mother.
The judge spoke to My son in chambers, and without telling me, I knew what he told him.
The thing is, the judge uses the child’s testimony as evidence, not the only evidence.
Last week, I got a ruling on our hearing. The judge has awarded my son’s dad custody with me getting standard visitation. I believe he didn’t even look at all the evidence and just based his decision on My son’s testimony.
I am beyond heartbroken. This is the beginning of my son being indoctrinated into the hateful racist that his dad is. He has already tried to poison him against me, I’m sure it will just get worse.
I have cried more tears in this last week than I have in my whole life. ❤️🩹
