More details to this question:
The mother of my son and I do not get along and tensions are always increasing. This past weekend my son asked to get a haircut and I took him to get one and his mother was so pissed off her current boyfriend and another friend jumped me when I went to drop him off in front of him. I am concerned with the conditions of there house and also this violence. I don't make a lot of money and can't afford a lawyer but I need to do something. I went to file a police report and they took a brief statement and sent me one my way. My ex's aunt whom she resides with is a police officer and witnessed the fight but did nothing. After I contacted my parents they forced me to go back to precinct and made them take photos and a longer statement. It seems they are trying to sweep it under the rug. I'm trying to figure out my options

You can file a petition in Family Court- but you should discuss your situation in detail with an attorney before attempting such a petition. What you've described is not necessarily sufficient to get over the threshold of proving a substantial change in circumstances.

You can file a petition in family court; if you cannot afford an attorney, they can appoint a free lawyer to help you. Good luck.
