Family court and domestic abuse mainly emotional and threats what is most likely case in outcome?

[Sockmonster23]

Can't give much details on case but what normally happens. Very controlling man and one of the kids is very young he is especially controlling over this child. The child runs to him and when dad shouts at horribly but this poor child looks to please hi all the time . The other 2 are fine and not so clingy with dad but mum. Would court consider shared residency? I've heard more and more now give dads who are abusive more days and nights etc. Thank you.

Stick to the facts and the court will make the correct decision. If you are being intimidated tell your legal team and they will have a mechanism to handle this.

Depending on how old DC are they might have a say, I believe CAFCAS interview them in a none formal way. You'd be surprised how much 4/5 year olds retain! Please don't lose hope.

Find a solicitor who doesn't believe in 50/50 care, there are some studies that back this up. Esp for very young children.
Put a strong case forward, such as your the main carer, you take them to their app etc etc.
My experience is that tbh the courts don't take into consideration a lot of things unless it's proven to be abuse and server abuse at that. Saying that you can help your case by building up s picture of what's going on. Keep a diary and show this to your solicitor.

I would second having a time, where you can detail all the abuse you can recall, then present it to your solicitor. It's not nice going over those times again, although it should work in your favour.

Like I said, depending on how your ex behaved, whether children witnessed / heard anything, even young children know right & wrong. I can't think why 50/50 parenting would be beneficial, when your ex couldn't behave themselves in the relationship.

Maybe make that point, if co parenting is so important to your ex, why didn't they think about that when they were behaving in a negative way.
