damages incurred due to physical and emotional abuse

It depends on the situation. With physical abuse most likely yes. but evidence is most likely needed. Emotional probably not. But, if you have an legitimate expense for mental help regarding the situation and have enough evidence you may have a claim. pain and suffering isn't really an option, because you can't sue for pain and suffering. pain and suffering is only awarded by a judge give the correct situation. \n    As far as the divorce goes, if the abuse situation was brought up and is already considered resolved you cant sue unless the abuse continues.

Call a local local attorney and ask.  Off the cuff I would say there are probably instances where what you describe is okay like if the child is attacking someone.

When a child claims abuse,that child should be removed from the environment of abuse.From then only trained councellors should deal with the child un til the matter is resolved.

it really all depends on the natyre of the injury i beleive.  A lot of times it is done in a settlement...but it may vary from palce to place so take a look at some government web sites to get more informed.

Contrary to most of the answers that you have received, it is ot so cut & dried that you can make a strict yes or no answer.   Most jurisidictions have very general laws that prohibit "child neglect".  Refunds a child any outside contact could be considered emotional abuse and thus subject the parents to prosecution.

Yes get a lawyer.  In fact in a case like this they will be free working on contingent.\n\nYou may have a case for negligence under tort law.  Only a lawyer can advise and take the proper steps to get you a remedy.  Furthermore if you can track down any of the people who actually hurt you in the process of tting out you may have a case gainst them too.

You can go back to the court that issued the order and request that it be dismissed.  They will make you pay the court costs of dismissing the order.\nHowever, if you had justification to get a protection order, it will be a mistake to have it dismissed.  It sounds like you have too many men in your live trying to make your decisions for you.  \nPerhaps you might want to learn how to make your own decisions and quit being a victim.  \nAny man that hits you doesn't deserve to be with you.  No second chances after physical violence.

Get a good custody attorney.  If you can't afford one than what you need to do is inspect your children for signs of abuse every time they come back from their father and photograph any injuries, or take them to a doctor and have the doctor's office do it.  They should photograph any injuries that may be a result of abuse which you can later use in court. If you suspect sexual abuse than this is especially important. \n\nGoing directly through Human services for this is a bad idea.  Social workers have huge caseloads and they are getting very critical of reports of child abuse because 60% of all cases are unfounded.  In addition there have been cases where over zealous social workers take the kids and sort the mess out later which means that your child could end up in foster care until you go to court.

Alright im not going to get too deep into this one here.  Your more than welcome to email me or IM me on... irreplaceably_rare@yahoo.com.  You need to call your local court house and ask for a Probono Lawyer that deals with your type of case... also ask for the number for the " State Bar... They normally have phone numbers of people to contact.  Here is the real issue, they didnt take the child out of the hands of someone abusing them when they should have, You need to also contact someone federally, I would need to know what state you are in, in order to give you the correct people to call.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou should look into suing the state for not taking the child out of the hands of the abuser.... Could be worth a lot, this case... I mean, nothing can add up to a childs life, But maybe they can help you get what you deserve.\n\n\n\nIn any event sorry for your loss, and good luck.
