Malicious allegations against my child

26 replies

If someone is making repeated allegations against my child (in writing) what can I do?

These are ’inappropriate behaviour’ allegations which have been investigated by social services and the police with no further action taken.

allegations are made in the context of an ongoing custody battle this person has with my child’s other parent (they have a child together) - my child and I do not have anything to do with this other person. My child’s other parent is logging with the police but should I also do the same?

I'm not a lawyer, and obviously it depends a bit on your relationship and current contact. But, if you haven't already I would think that the single most supportive thing you could do would be sit down collaboratively with your ex and agree a contact schedule which gives you shared child plenty of time with your ex but means that your shared dc is at your house:

  • any time the other child is at the other house
  • any time the accusing parent might come to the other house
  • any time another unrelated child is at the other house

That would be immensely supportive of your child (because it limits any future allegations to past incidents only) and of your ex (can be presented in court around contact)

Thank you. We have already done this. It has been almost 2 months since the children have seen each other. The next step will hopefully be some supervised contact the way you suggest.
