[MI] cps/wellness checks/denied parenting time/
I wanted to end screen time at 10pm to start getting my daughters back on track with their sleep schedule. My eldest refused and I flicked her in the head and told her to give up the phone so she can get it back in the morning (12 years old). After a short argument she gave up her phone. My other daughter from my previous relationship came home from her friends house (11 years old). She made herself something to eat and saw her sister was upset. On her way to go eat her food she dropped her hot food. Still upset with the older daughter he did not immediately respond. The girls disappeared. They had gone to their room to call their mother, who called the police, who arrested me on Child abuse for flicking one kid and the story twisted into pushing the other down the stairs. Neither child was injured. No burns.
Now my ex wife is denying parenting time. I have not seen or spoken the either of them in 2 weeks, which they were supposed to be with mem. Mom called cps, I know it was her from the list of complaints and how it was worded. Cps said they were at the house on suspicion of cameras in the bathroom, babies living in filth, glass everywhere, no food, no running water and mold everywhere.
Cps came and left. No safety plan. Everything checks out.
Last year the court order was changed to expand my parenting time due to refusal from mom to coparent. Mom refused to follow this and denied the entirety of last summer.
Recently the parenting time has been followed from 20% dad 80% mom to 40% dad 80% mom with the children having more overnights with mom but being at dads house during the day most of every other week. I was also given almost 3 months worth of make up parenting time.
This is the 5th call to cps no finding, wellness check 35 I guess was the charm. After 34 wellness checks no findings of danger a made up story has my ex denying all parenting time. No emergency order in place.
Is it possible that this made up story between my daughters and ex wife could cause me to lose custody? Shouldn't someone be able to find inconsistencies in this or at the very least see that this is a 5 year strenuous custody case where mom has refused to follow court orders or coparent, been held in contempt repeatedly. She couldn't get then taken away by simply saying safety concerns, she had to make up a damn story.
They are being alienated. This is 100% mental abuse from mom. Mom hasnt been in the house since she took the kids and left. She has never met my youngest children. All of our family and extended family goes straight to voicemail on their phones. Roblox, Facebook, discord, messenger everything is blocked. What do I do? Custody lawyer says i have to clear up this accusation before he is comfortable doing anything which will add another month of denied parenting time.
The girls are usually decently comfortable and well adjusted when the parenting time schedule is followed. When they are kept away there is some sort of brainwashing and they come back shells of the kids I know they are and have detachment issues from their younger siblings, the youngest isn't old enough to remember them when they are gone for a month.
Best ideas? thoughts? Should I do a civil standby and go get them? Nothing is in place to stop parenting time. No protection order. No charge (im sure that it will be dropped... I hope).
