I recently went to court with my ex because he alleges that I am on drugs, and that I am doing them in front of my daughter. He also says that I leave her under the care of someone that distributes/manufactures methamphetamine. These allegations are completely false. I gave the GAL my recent drugs screens from when I was pregnant (before I knew that he was bringing up this case), and my boyfriend, and my neighbor are the alleged Meth distributor. I also had to deal with child protective services because my ex (who I believe called them) had brought it to their attention. These allegations, cps found the whole case unsubstantiated 3 different times. They talked to me, my boyfriend, and my daughter, and were in my home. When he filed for a temp order of placement and we went to court, I proved all these allegations to be false. My daughter who had previously gone to her school and brought to their attention all these allegations, tried to recant her story saying that she was sorry she had lied and she just wanted more of mine and my boyfriends attention (because I was pregnant with her now half brother and very sick), they told me that I threatened her into saying she lied. The judge ruled in his favor and gave me two days a week to see her. Before this came up I have raised my daughter 5 days a week for almost 10 years by myself and have never had these allegations against me, nor do I have ANY prior drug related charges. The judge also told me in court that I was mentally unstable because I cried most of the time that we were there. Not only did I just have a baby 6 weeks ago, but was losing my daughter. What can I do? Please help, I love my children more than anything and to me this is not just unfair, but this is not right.
