Is it normal to have an ex who harrasses you by calling cps on you?
I have two kids with my ex-husband. We have been seperated for almost three years now, and court has been finalized and we have joint custody of ours kids. Since may of '08 he has called child protective services over ten times on me all of which have been proven false or unfounded. We finalized our divorce dec of '08. I understand using the tactic of calling CPS to try and get the upperhand in our divorce, even though I think it is wrong. CPS is overworked and understaffed and doesn't need him and his vindictive girlfriend or family calling making false reports. The reports have been about my four year old cutting her hair, a skin rash that was being treated with diaper rash cream - that he was informed about, but felt the need to call CPS about before he took her to the ER where he had a nurse do a sexual assualt exam on her only to find out it was dermititus, treat with diaper rash cream- he's called saying I'm an alcoholic and drug user although I've never been those things.
Now they are threatening to call again because i let our three year old son pick out his own clothing and he like long sleeves shirts in summer. I offer him short sleeve shirts if we go some place and make sure he has lots of water. Instead if asking if I have plenty of summer clothes or asking why he has these clothes on, they give this message to my boyfriend who drops them off because I am already at work. It is neither abuse nor neglect him wearing these clothes. I admit summer is hot, but I keep my house at 68*, so my house is cool enough for him to wear those shirts when he picks them out.
Is it normal to have an ex so vindictive and spiteful that he continually harrasses you with CPS?
