Being Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence

Being Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence

Every year, many people in the UK are falsely accused of domestic violence. The reasons for this are wide-ranging. Some partners or ex-partners make up allegations of domestic violence to get out of a relationship that they are otherwise unhappy with, others do it to spite their partners, while some still want to ensure that they stop (usually) the father from seeing the children.

If you're facing false accusations of domestic violence, getting organised and strategic early on is crucial, which is why we created our free False Allegations Response Planner.

In other circumstances, a stranger, someone you know, or perhaps your child's teacher could become concerned about an injury to your child or something your child says – and refers Social Services to you. The tragic fact is that this does happen to people who are totally innocent of any crime. Sadly, although in this country you are 'innocent until proven guilty', the truth is that sometimes people can get charged and found guilty for domestic violence on very little evidence.

What Can Happen

You can be arrested while in your own home, in front of your partner and children, and in full view of the neighbours. Then you can be taken to the police station, your DNA taken and held on file, and interviewed while under caution. You could find yourself in court, charged with an offence for which you have done nothing wrong. Worst of all, you could end up with a criminal conviction and sent to prison. The problem is, when emotions are running high after a break up or divorce, one call to the police can have far-reaching consequences. If word gets around your local community, you could suffer verbal abuse, harassment or worse for being a 'monster'.

Your Rights

If this happens to you, you need to be aware of your rights. You are entitled to legal advice at the police station. If you waive your right, you may end up saying something that could be misconstrued, especially if you are tired or are lulled into a false sense of security by the interviewing officers. There have been many cases that have been successfully brought by the Crown Prosecution Service purely on the basis of an admission in interview at the police station.

If you do speak to a lawyer, tell them the truth because if you are coy, or uncooperative, they are not going to be able to advise you properly. The police may bail you to return to the police station on another date. If they do this, you MUST ensure you go back on the day and at the time specified, or you will be charged with an offence of 'failure to surrender' and a warrant may be issued for your arrest. If you are innocent of any crime, be persistent, stick to the truth and try your best not to get angry at any stage. If you find yourself in court, it is vital that you come across as genuine and sincere about your innocence.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

Implications For Your Accuser

If your partner or ex-partner accuses you of domestic violence, when you have in fact done nothing wrong, by the time the police are involved your ex has already committed a criminal offence for which they could receive a prison sentence of up to six months. If they then go on to falsify evidence to the authorities – the police, social services etc – they are then perverting the course of justice. If the case actually gets to court, and you find yourself in the dock on trial for something you haven't done, your accuser would in most circumstances have to give evidence in court. If they are still lying at this stage, they are committing perjury. These are all serious criminal offences for which your ex-partner could serve a long prison sentence.

@Sallu First step is to get everything in writing from the police and Children's Services confirming no further action and the case is closed, as you'll need those letters if this ever resurfaces in family court. Keep a clear timeline of the allegation alongside evidence of her visa situation, as motive is very relevant if a judge ever has to weigh credibility. If you want to formally challenge it, you can complain to the police force and the local authority directly, and consider a Subject Access Request for their files. Speak to a family solicitor before making any counter-allegation.
Sallu 15/09/2026 at 5:00 am
I was accused by my wife of a serious child-abuse allegation, which I completely deny. The police and Children’s Services later closed their involvement, and I have been told there is no ongoing investigation against me. Given the circumstances surrounding the allegation and my wife’s immigration/visa situation at the time, what would you advise a father in my position to do next, and how can I properly challenge or report a potentially false allegation?
SeparatedDads Editor 31/05/2026 at 2:23 pm
@Ash What you're going through is brutal, and sadly it's a tactic we see far too often on this site. Keep every bit of communication that goes through your mum logged and saved, dates, times, the lot, because it builds your evidence if this drags on. Get a solicitor who specialises in family law involved now, not later, especially one who understands how criminal bail conditions interact with child arrangements. Bail conditions are not a court order about contact, so once they're varied or dropped you can push for proper access. Hang in there, plenty of dads here have come out the other side of false allegations.
Ash 31/05/2026 at 2:23 pm
My ex is making it as hard as possible to see my kids. She had me arrested for alleged Coercive snd controlling behaviour. This means, due to police bail conditions, that l have to communicate via my mum. This is so difficult and l feel so isolated and alone, amd she just gets on with life with no consequences
SeparatedDads Editor 20/05/2026 at 9:15 am
@Steve Steve, what you're describing sounds like coercive control, and men can absolutely be victims of it. Get everything written down with dates while it's fresh, and contact the ManKind Initiative (01823 334244) for free support. Speak to a family solicitor about a C100 for child arrangements as soon as you can, because her allegations shouldn't stop you applying. You've got this, just keep it through the courts and off social media.
Steve 10/12/2023 at 12:08 pm
10 years married...4 boys...I gave up work to run and care the household...apart from the finances...big mistake..no real big problems in that time either apart from now writing everything down I see her control of me.

My relationship with my wife wasn’t great, she was always aggressive to both me and my daughter, drinking every night to excess. The writing was on the wall, however I didn’t want to split the family up. In February my daughter found a message on my wife’s phone from another man, suggesting she was possibly having an affair, as this chap was declaring his feelings towards her.
She claimed at first it was someone she used to work with, then later changed her story to state it was someone she’d connected with on linkedin but nothing was going on.
I started to film her behaviour on my phone as I intended to replay her the clips when she was sober. When I tried once it aggravated her further. She stated it was illegal to record her.

When these incidents occurred, I would try and completely ignore her by often leaving the house or going to another room as she would just push for an argument.

I have many videos on my phone where I can clearly be heard saying to her that she needs to calm down as it is late at night/early hours of the morning and my daughter is in bed trying to sleep. She had no regard for this. The clips clearly show how aggressive she is and how drunk she would get. there are a couple of videos that clearly show she has assaulted me.

Completely unaware to me she went to the police and reported me for controlling and coercive behaviour, along with five counts of strangulation with intent. I was obviously arrested, taken to the police station and questioned, released on bail for three months with the restriction of not being able to go to the family home and not contacting my wife directly or indirectly.

Night, one of my arrest, my wife invited friends over to the house and had a loud raucous drinking session until the early hours of the morning, my daughter upstairs in her bedroom was texting me until 3:30 am, stating she was unable to sleep due to the noise coming from downstairs. The same happened on night two, night three, my daughter made arrangements herself to sleep at one of her friends houses as she was exhausted from the previous night’s events. This was the beginning of July during school. Night four my daughter came and stayed with me at my sisters house.(as I have nowhere else to stay.) and has been with me since, this week marks 10 weeks since my arrest. During this time, my wife has sent random messages to my daughter often laboured all with no emotion and my daughter has chosen not to reply as she is disgusted by my wife’s behaviour and feels that she has not had a relationship with my wife for approximately 18 months due to her behaviour and lack of emotion towards her. On the two occasions, my daughter has been back to our house to collect things within the last 10 weeks. My wife has made her feel particularly uncomfortable and even tried frisking her on the doorstep.

During my time with the police, they were not interested whatsoever in anything I had to show on my mobile phone. Consequently I

My wife and I weren't getting on and we both knew the writing was on the wall. I came home sober one night to find her drunk. I challenged her on this because of the kids being there she got verbally abusive so I then went to bed. I heard her coming up the stairs so I got my phone and started recording as shes been violent before, she then hit me in the face 10+ times over 4 assaults(she left the room and came back again and again). I recorded the hole thing. She then went and got a NMO through pure lies. I then showed the video to police who contacted social services. The videos beeing that serious social services said any contact the kids had with Thier mum had to be supervised but the NMO still stood so me and the kids where made homeless!!?. This continued for 2 weeks all the while she was free to spread horrible lies about me around the town we live. Eventually her lies became so extreme and perverse she lost grip on reality and got sectioned. Now because of this she's beeing taken by the hand. All the while me and the kids are left to suffer. The nightmare continues.

My ex continues to make false allegations of domestice abuse against me towards her neighbours, I found out recently. The only thing I am guilty of is through our ten year marriage is coping with the extreme strain my ex brought into the family through incurring £33K in debt of payday loans. I never hit her and became violent in anyway towards he other than becoming annoyed at what she had done. The irony in all this is that she has had a police issue a caution for common assault once where she did punched me in the face as a result of the debt she incurred and I quesitoned her on it. She also later punched me again not long after the first incident just becuase I wanted to clear out the garage of her stuff.
She though does not mentioned any of the demestic violence she inflicted on me towards anyone else even the police caution of common assault. She just mentions that I by mistake let a door close on her due to wind catching it and this she then goes on a rant about me abusing her and making up lies of abuse. My reputation has been damaged and now I cannot visit my daughter residence because the neighbours now have the impression I am an abuser.

What can I do legally if anything to stop her from making false allegations becuase I am now not able to show my face around my daughers residence where she lives with her mum?

Fool in Love 28/06/2023 at 5:03 pm
Was married for 32years, she had an affair & then divorced me in 2014 (Blaming me for the reason she cheated).Three grown up children who had already left home. Gave her a mortgage free house in settlement. She remarried, I went back to live with Mam in the home I grew up in.
Mam died, & using my tax free pension allowance, £20k endowment policy, & some earnings I bought my brothers half of the family home, becoming outright owner.
She contacted me out of the blue, one thing led to another, and in 2018 we remarried.... I know I was/ still am a fool.
Over the past few years she keeps going to the Police accusing me of domestic abuse, cohersive control/stalking etc. with me ending up being arrested on multiple occasions/ kept overnight in the cells, missing work, banned from any contact with her & from the family home that I bought, but put her name on the deeds. Every time I am released "No Further Action" but now she is applying for a non molestation & occupation order to keep me out. Apparently with a history of domestic abuse against me, No criminal proof, but her statement of events is enough.
Living in a car, and she wants me to contribute to the house bills too.
Not working, to old to start over, but still love her...Cant see any future, got no money, I should have been retired years ago if she didn't divorce me. Shoot me now....I have started divorce proceedings, because of the threat of being arrested at anytime, but would go back given the chance. Can't live in a car for long at my age, (63) but all the cards are stacked in the woman's favour (glad in a way, I have two daughters) but being accused because she fears for her safety with no physical evidence, is making me think of ending it altogether. Three weeks till court, then at least I know its definitely time to end it

Hi, my so called wife made false allegations against me back in January for apparently having indecent images of chlidren, I obviously was arrested for this and on the same evening I was arrested she showed them charges around the community which placed me strait under the threat of the paramilitary within the community. Those charges however were dropped by the police good 4 weeks later and I was free again but the damage has been done without remorse. I was back at the house but she was not happy at all, we had a small but heated argument which she used to charge me with common assault and I was banged up in Prison for the first time ever for 3 and a half months, still waiting for my total sentence as well.
I pressed charges against her while in prison for false allegations, wasting police time, ruining my life but nothing has been done by the police or the PPS respective CPS. Even the solicitor seems to go aganst me when the facts however speak a total different language.
I'm currently under court bail not to contact her or my littlen in any way shape or form and I'm barred from the area as well.

I keep on persisting with those charge pressed against her and hope that after moren then 4 months things start moving in the right direction to finally get justice.

My wife came on the visa we been together married since 2016 but we lived in part so she was in Turkey I was in UK, some reasons I couldn't applied earlier we had a child 2019 and finally I applied a visa for her ( as child was born British cos am British) so spend money every month on bills , rent, and spending money , and food shopping, basically everything also she had,daughter who's 19 now so I actually treat her like my own daughter bought anything she asked always gave her money so she wasn't ambarast in front of her friends when they were out etc. She recently Jan 2023 came with our son who's 4 years of age now. Soon as we came into UK she's changed completely and secrecy like secret phone calls and hiding her phone and only speak to her family when am out for shopping or go my hospital appointments so I suspected this was a pre planed visa marriage. So I asked to divorce her as I said this isn't a loving relationship but after a week I taken my son to hospital as he had a,fall and injured his head she thought it was nothing she never told me I only noticed day after when I was changing his nappy and I questioned her but she got very panicked and offensive and she said it was nothing so I take him to hospital and he had a xray he was OK thankfully but the problem was she should of inform me or inform the play center that he had a head injury but she didn't think it was important anyway after that I knew she even gone cold and all pretendent behaviours etc anyway baby came to me crying about his,arm 2 week after his head injury so I take him hospital again this time she suddenly asked interpreter so she gone to another room i stayed in room that we were in so she cane out 1 hour later she acted nothing happened and I asked why you asked interpreter etc she wouldn't tell me I realised that it was the first time she made allegations to safeguarding teaming hospital and I didn't know anything but we carried our day to day life but talking every other night about our relationship but all those time from hospital allahatins on the march 2023 until 16th June she had been taken out of the house by social service so I gathered that she was always in contact with them. Seriously I just can't believe this happened as this house I rent and fully furnished my self cost 6000 and now she stay in the as she rang me to pick her up as people who taken her said as long as me and her sorted between us she could come home and I could come and pick her up and I recorded that conversation before I gone to pick her and my beautiful son up and when I picked him up he hugged me very tight for 15 seconds I couldn't breath as he missed his daddy that much she was crying her eyes out saying how sorry she's is and going though this feyz and I believed her we came home next day she calk the police that I went to pick her up and police came and arrest me in my house and I am on bailed not to contact her or baby and not to enter my own house until bail e

It's a night mare being accused of horrible crimes when your innocent.
My son has been accused of domestic violence.
It's not because I'm his mother I say this.
But my son is as soft as butter and incapable of defending himself let alone violence.
He's now homless and lives in a van and has a phyco bitch pressing charges against him.
Some women are just men haters and bullies.
They choose soft men to dominant because real men reject them.
So for all those guys out there that have been wrongly accused.
Don't let it brake you.
Grow stronger through the experience and nt time. Get yourself a real woman. Not a scrap end that no one else wants. Your worth more.

I Been though the courts been( punished for domestic violence) served a bit of time done my probation and compulsory courses a (very long time ago now ).now I have moved on and happy with my life .(I dont want to see her adult child gods truth) .(people can judge me and say whatever about me I find it funny .).like I told all my( family just stay away from me live your lifes and I will live mine 100 percent) .I called out a few guys I wanted( fight) I not one showed up .so there's nothing eles to discuss .
C laurie 03/05/2023 at 12:41 am
In my experience the( police) where good to me .(and told me to drop off and get a solicitor) I did and have never been in( trouble since) I didn't worry about the solicitor because off( very high conflict) her mother is just( someone who just brings out the worst in me )and her daughter was so close to her mother it would have been( terrible she would have been miserable crying for her mother) .I believe children need there mothers and in reality dont need there fathers . I Believe it's a women job to rasie children (not men's and stand bye it) .anyway her daughter is a adult now so it doesn't matter anymore. She most likely has her own partner and children now I think she is (20 years old ).I dont even want to see her children if she has any .been to long and way to awkward and( everyone has moved on with there lifes ).it's best to leave sleeping dogs lie.
ufopeace 02/05/2023 at 9:48 pm
this happened to me just last week. the police got into my house didnt want to talk. a simple talk and i would prove she was liying however i never had any problems with the police they took me in and after 24 hours thrown me in the street without phone propert clother homeless, family less childless dogless card less. was the worst time of my life still is. no evidences whatssoever i actually had lots that she ws lying and they didnt want to see. I cant believe that the police is playing this and nothing will happen to her cos shes a mother.
in last resort i will change my sex to be treated equaly.
I gave uncodicional love to them all never even shouted.

im creating a group on facebook and writing a book to sell on kdp lets get together to fight back for justice.
this police approach is not fit for purpose are breaking lives and using public resources incorrectly.
Sid 15/04/2023 at 7:50 pm
A few weeks ago I was arrested at my place of work due to a false allegation that i had threatened to kill my wife. We have had a breakdown in our marriage and she had been putting pressure for a divorce at first I had tried to be amicable about it for sake of our 4 year old daughter, she is on a spouse visa which recently has been extended, only after extending the visa she had turned more nasty by threatening to not take our daughter to school so social services would get involved, which in turn happened. On a monday evening she was acting strange trying to get me riled up when she asked me about what was happening with divorce, she was constantly on my case as if i can make the divorce happen over night, i said simply if you want to leave heres the door. There is no way I would be leaving my own flat, the next morning I had recieved a call from my daughters school who were concerned that she was not at school, this spurred me to leave my place of work to walk home to only find out both my wife and daughter were not at the flat, it turned out that the school without informing me had driven to my flat to pick up my daughter and my wife , who they said to me later they were worried about, she has been rehearsing this it seems for weeks, a ploy to act she was a domestic abuse victim , anyway i turn up at the school on my way back and its revealed to me that my daughter was at school along with my wife, the school had locked the gate on me which I felt was odd, anyway still perplexed why my wife was at school and them being cagey i decided to go back to work, around lunch time 2 police officers had entered my work and arrested me on alleged threat to kill her i was gobsmacked at her sheer audacity to lie and to be arrested in humiliating fashiom in front of my colleagues. I spent a day in custody, very upset at what was happening to me, i have since been released without charge pending investigation on bail and its been weeks and police said they will give me an update but i am on bail until june, meanwhilst I unable to go back to my flat and worried about my daughter whos beem clearly affected by this ordeal asking why i am not at home and she is missing me, i find it crazy that a woman can lie and cause so much emotional damage towards me and our daughter, all because she wanted to seperate and get rid of me from the flat which is in my name, was wondering if anyone has advice or been or going through something similar, ive turned in to a insomniac and cant get any decent sleep worried about my daughter, even though the social are involved the authorities are clearly siding with my unhinged wife not understanding the lies she said and the fact she is on visa with no right to public funds like housing benefit, she knew playing the domestic abuse card will mean i have to leave flat which is in my name, my life is in tatters i have been demoted at my work, hairs have fallen out and worried sick about everything

Same Klmcm0612 the lies never end so don't bother asking. You're whole relationship was just one Long setup for the big victim story. ?? it's disgusting, our lives are worth more than someone's pathetic victim story. I coddled this girl now she's calling herself a dv survivor, I never raised a hand to her it's sick. She hurt me in the cruelest was possible for her growth and fake vixtimhood. ?? I feel bad her family enables her instead of seeing how sick she really is. But you'd never know she's not a real person, until you see too much then they attack. I've never been more broken it's cost me my life, she's insane and it's obvious how much she needs to play to victim to anyone ?? but no one will argue with a fake abuse victim they just coddle and appease her like she wants from eveyone. I saw that sick desperate need for attention early, so many red flags.. now it's all twister everything I said said or did. I wish I believed in hell, hopefully karma is real people who make false abuse claims should be locked up.

Can anyone help with any advice?
Having a child arrangements case, I started without legal representation as just wanted shared care. Ex filed non mol order with a list of false allegations, clear to get legal aid, nothing upheld in court. Two months later I am arrested on 4 historic false allegations. I gave my phone over, released on pre charge bail for 71 days, this was extended a further 6 months a week before due to answer. I've asked for an update but heard nothing.
The arrest to me was to try and prevent contact with child which ultimately it didn't do. I'm constantly down, can't sleep, want to see child as contact has been stopped due to exes family behaviour towards me and me logging it with the police to protect myself.
Any help would be appreciated, I can't afford the costs that are mounting and can't take additional legal advice. Been told I'm doing everything right but it's not helping me at present.
Nek 03/03/2023 at 2:27 pm
My ex wife prevent me visiting my children as a tool of revenge for our separation. I already applied to the court but she is making it longer appointments at the court. She falsely accused me of domestic abuse. This is taking time and this is what she wants. Is there any means I can see my children while the court is on process?

i believe God Words. As say Mark13:11. When men take you to court, do not be troubled about what you will say. Say whatever comes to your mind at that time. It is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.
English my second language.
was panic and anxious fear of conviction.
No legal aid support no proper advice no counselling.
I am on medication treatment for depression But lawyer use this against me as a mental disorder person. police disclosers document unfortunately Year 2011 must remove on record but still there use this against me as a convicted against property i am happy my conviction against property but my Ex she is convicted dangers for life year 2019 left 5 months old baby Home alone risk child safety.law favorite to woman diversity is named she got first conviction now baby live with dangers person. My conviction only one and first time and years ago diversity cause neglect little child get father love. i pray who have power have mercy on little child needs father love. heavenly father melt people heart have mercy on poor people.
I love my daughter i have pain march 9 will be her 4 years old birthday until now i have no idea my daughter little heart little imagination. I am only cast my pain Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus choose my daughter dedication consecration of children to God and baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. Because God miracle plan used me saved my daughter when she was 5 months old.
Matthew 21:21Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.
So i have faith i will continue my pray pray for Child protection - Redbridge Council open their mind be wise for understand narcist psychopath mother is trauma for little child.
Because i have witness my Ex narcissistic psychopathic has no mother feeling her delusional Behavior because narcissistic is believing that they are above the law or having unrealistic fantasies about themselves.they might constantly try to seek admiration from those around them. These individuals are self-centered and likely to put their own needs first.
i am so regretful my ex used me for her wicked plan she had have conversation with her best friend she planing make child for get extra room for her flat get universal credit and child benefit and security herself immigration statues. My ex worry about her welfare she doesn't care about child may she be happy take child away from her.this is just beginning i have more words i am tired now and emotional cry put me down i come back continue this dramatic story.

I went through something similar to you Cojo. We didn’t have children mine was more psychologically abusive. It’s all so twisted the night before leaving and labeling me her abuser she was extra loving, then she lied and strung me along in email and text while setting me up for her victim story. I never laid a hand on her, raised my voice to her and over night Im her abuser. I think mine is a little less extreme but the insidious ways they try to train you like a puppy to suit them.. all the stages of emotional abuse love bombing devalue discard, it’s like she followed a flow chart of abuse. I feel so stupid and ashamed severely depressed, I wonder if you can sue for the psychological and monetary damages they cause. Mine is out there now getting victim sympathy saying how employing it is to escape abuse!! She calls herself a feminist while shaming women everywhere and using the hurt and sympathy of real abused women and the good people who are convinced she’s a poor brave victim trying so hard. I fell in love with that spirit and wanted to grow and nurture each other like we always said and she promised in so many ways, but that person never existed. They use you and then try to transfer their pain trauma issues whatever into you you’re s dumping ground for a person you tried to adjust everything for because she deserved real love but they turned out to be the cruelest abuser of my life. I’m a mess still and it’s been so long, the cognitive dissonance and all the cruel tactics she used to keep dropping the floor out.. we lived together for years never even looked at me again, cried and wanted me to quit my job before leaving to stay home with her!! We weee together everyday for 2 years in our apartment during Covid and she said she felt guilty how much she loved just me and her.. then she’s just fine and acting like I’m trying to hunt her down.. it’s all lies anyway they just want to torture so you react and they can justify their server emotional abuse and get whatever they want. Now the internet shrinks and fake female empowerment types like my ex use these tactics that are meant for real abuse to ghost and never look back.. real psychological says open honest communication first, not plot and use silent torture, impose unfair new boundaries on a long term relationship and all the other tactics they twist enough to believe it themselves.. and why not they have thousands of enablers online calling them brave for using and abusing and wrecking someone in all they ways they pretend to care about most.. mine was never a victim everyone she wanted to cut out of her life is a narcissist or stalker or controlling her somehow, but it’s all her in her sick mind I think it’s all true. Hah I was being hospitalized while she brought the police here after I packed her things and text I was leaving. Later I find out so many things weee lies and over the years it’s even worse it makes me physically Ill even now to think about too much but I can’t stop when
Sister 17/08/2022 at 6:17 pm
My brother has just been taken by the police, him and his wife are early stage of separation but still in same house, he is undergoing help with his mental health (no risk to anyone). She basically can’t be bothered helping him and wants the house, kids and as much money as she can get. He’s the one who’s got a solicitor to sort things out. She’s hit him today then called police and turned on the tears and said he hit her, he’s the one with the marks. I warned the police 2 weeks ago that she was building to something like this and he’s still the one locked up. something not right about this.

Sadly I am a mental I’ll man with bipolar and had my fincial beahiours controlled by guilt feels especially as she learn to push all my buttons. Had no money and I have a nervous breakdown after isolating myself even more to get out of our homeliness. Took all financial burden b gifted her most assests as she asked. Got 4 kids under 8. She had a list of jobs. Been through 10 years of hell trying to provide etc and keeping all debt away from her. Let her have anything I could. Had no real money. Used my family for money n cut them off in
Distance and other means due to my extreme exploitation. Wasn’t allowed to leave for medical stuff when collapsing threatening to leave to take all and poison kids against me. Get me locked up. Full nervous breakdown. No help. Then bipolar when kicked out of home as couldn’t get medical . 600 miles away from a house I paid 100% for including furnishings to stop her crying. Tried to help. Completely dulled me. Only just understanding it was deliberate cos I love her still. I have no defence as she reported first. Scotland. Merge defences I can’t prove all emotionally driven n financially but not provable as all on my card. Terrible not be forced into saying u havent done something you’ve endured to unlikely see the kids. Can’t work eat anything. Nothing is mine. Law is biased I was in a breakdown. Not commented

@cojo,there are parents out there who have (buried there children) now I can't imagine how hard that would be .but us humans are a (resilient )and we pick up the broken pieces and carry on .so the way I see it my daughter is alive so I still have the chance to see her speak to her .(so I feel blessed) .imagine how those poor parents who had lost there children in that school shooting in America thats horrendous .(they need to change gun laws over there) .how deranged is the shooter to walk into Elementary School and open fire thats pure evil .

@cojo,My advice (walk away )its not worth it in reality .I personally know how God damn hard it is not seeing your child my situation is (unique) like when I was going though the breakup years ago it didn't bother me I didn't want to be her the relationship had been dead for a couple off years . I was out partying in nightclubs like I was 18 again and injoying life it wasn't for (many years later )when I seen a photo off my daughter online instantly felt love .and it hit home like a son off a bitch( crazy ass emotional feelings )you name it I went though it .and couldn't understand why I'm I going though this now .I worked out I locked that part off my life away and seeing the photo was the key to unlocking sum emotional feelings I was angry at myself her mother I wanted to kill .I'm much better now .even though I still don't see my daughter I have come to terms with it and doesn't bother anymore .
Cojo 31/05/2022 at 1:27 pm
Can someone please please help or advise me? I am at my wits end, just been diagnosed with severe depression for first time in my life and have considered the only way out could be to end it all. My ex took out non-molestation order in 2019 then only 3 months later revoked it telling the court that her statement was not correct (false allegations). Then in October 2021 took out another non- molestation order and in December 2021 called the police claiming I'd breached the order by communicating about something other than the children. Two weeks later she called the police and retracted her statement officially. In February 2022, I successfully got an amendment to the non-mol order stating that I could enter the house and stay overnight in order to maintain my relationship with my two youngest children, this was on the basis that my ex and I agreed on the dates AND that she vacated the house when I returned (so stay with a friend or family etc) in court in front of the judge she agreed.
There have been 3 visits to the home and not on any of them has she left and I know I left myself in a difficult situation but I was so desperate to spend time with my children.
On the 3rd occasion on 15th May 2022, she claims I used threatening behaviour towards her - which I most certainly didn't. I was arrested by the police for breaching the order and held in custody for 18 hours (horrendous experience), I was released on conditional bail. I feel that she has constantly "used the legal system" when it has suited her and then changed her story or dropped her allegations. BTW, the only history of domestic violence in the relationship was her against me. I have never laid a finger on her, whereas she has smashed a broken vodka bottle across my back and punched me around the head. Does anyone have any advice and has anyone else experienced anything similar? Please help, I am desperate
Mr.j 15/05/2022 at 10:40 pm
My wife (I applied for divorce) so soon to be my wife she took off with the kids. wife accused me of violent. Controlling. All the things you can think of. I think she doing this to get housed due to our living condition is not great with family. But am bailed with further investigation. The caffcase lady interview me and bought that up while interviewing me because I apply a court order to see my kids. Will this effect what the court ruling is or they will see me as all the things my ex wife accused me of. Do I need a solicitor to try clear my name and sue her for making false allegation? My worry is will this effect how the judge see me and maybe a bad out rolling for me to see my kids or not

Ian 02/04/2022 at 7:45 pm
I have been charged with domestic abuse and threats to kill the family cats. I have done nothing and I can show my entire message thread on messenger for years, the alleged financial control can be refuted in this as well as my bank details. I paid for everything and even paid her bills. She is struggling with menopause and depression and states in.messages all our marital problems are due to her. My family know the struggles I have had with my wife, she had a online sexual affair with an ex and I forgave, caught twice shoplifting and given lifetime bans but not charged, I forgave. Her withdrawal from me, intimacy and her responsibility in the home, I go out every day, work 10 hours, come home clean and cook and my daughter sits at home not working and my wife allows her to smoke weed. I complain about this and try to help my wife get a grip of her life and not sleep all day, doing nothing in the house and when I broached these issues, I want to leave you and she started packing her stuff and said I'll sleep in the lounge till I find a place. Next my estranged daughter comes over and our issues started when she started with a online sex site doing things for customers. Cause I disapproved when locals found her doing this on the site, it came out and I was fairly upset, she said it's her choice as she was an adult I couldn't do anything and I must stop controlling her life. Anyway back to my story, Nicoke comes around and here I surmise but my guess is suggest to her mother to go down domestic abuse and threats and she can stay and I will get charged and lose the house. So my nightmare begins. Help please, I'm now homeless, relinquished the house and everything in it and am homeless, I was nearly charged due to a family member asked if I could have my meds as I'm diabetic and for my work clothing. Apparently this was a breach of my bail conditions. The legal system is rigged and I have no idea what to do. Please help, I have even thought of suicide and I am having breakdowns nearly every day and it's affecting my work.
TONY 19/06/2021 at 7:29 pm
I have the same issue my wife and I have 14 years old relationship and have 2 kids but few years back she start asking me that she need some money around 10,000£. which I was unable to give her she said she will return me. when I refused she start blaming me and start vocal abuse on my call me names. I try to calm myself but some time lose control and responded her with same calling names. 1 week ago when I was at home she start shouting on me and calling me very bad names and my family my parents etc.. then she said to me leave the house she don't want me to live with them... So I replied that this is my house I am renting it better you leave she stand up and pushed me try to throw out of the door but as I was not moving out and resisted she slipped on the floor and start crying I said it was all your fault you should not have pushed me.

30 min later 6 police officer stormed on my house and took me to the next room and said to me that your wife complained that you dragged her from the bed and punched her face 4-5 times and throw her on the floor.. Which was totally lie. So I replied to the police that its all about money she wanted from me and thats why she now don't want me to live with her. but police took me to 24 hours custody interviewed me and then left me on bail not to move closer to my own house and children on any cost.

Now I have no idea what will happed as she is staying in my house and I have paid the rent.. Should I stop paying the rent ??? as I believe I will not be able to get back to my house for next 3 month even more...

My wife maybe applying for refuge house but no idea if she is doing or not but at the moment she is in my House
Bubbles 19/06/2021 at 8:09 am
Hi - I was accused of domestic violence in Dec. I haven’t seen nor heard from my partner since then - in fact we are not allowed to contact. She was abusive to me , verbally and physically and I stupidly reacted - the whole thing lasted less than three minutes, and now my life is in bits. There is a court case and it has been postponed three times. All the while I am in limbo and can’t move on - the whole situation with one drunken call to the police about not a lot has spiralled way out of control. I have contemplated the unthinkable - I am heartbroken and finding it hard to get through every day. I’m not a criminal - and never have been.
Maz 13/06/2021 at 7:13 pm
I have just spent over 20 hours in a police cell accessed of DV.

I have taken legal advice.

The accuser, my husband, is on record as being non-supportive (he was drunk).

He has since withdrawn all allegations but I am still - potentially - going to have to go through a system that does seem to favour liars.

What happens when an alleged 'victim' sobers up? What is the best thing to do to not be prosecuted falsely?

I can't contact him, directly or indirectly.

He has told the police he doesn't want to pursue this.

I am really scared and will off myself before being found guilty of something I didn't do at all.

All help very well received.

Thank you.
iamborg 13/05/2021 at 1:10 pm
I have been with my wife for 35 years, during these 35 years when we had an argument, she always got violent she was and is totally incapable of controlling her temper. But because she never really hurt me I never did anything about it. After the argument if she felt she had not totally won. She would disappear with our children eventually after a few days she would contact me I would beg her for forgiveness and then she would come home, this however always left me in a weaker position and she would remind me of this time and time again. People ask way I Stayed with her I did because I loved her and my children its as simple as that. then 15 years ago I had a very sort lived affair I stopped it and confessed all to her I was put through hell it gave her the excuse she needed to get even more violent. about a year later things were OK and we were sat on the bench in our outhouse all of a sudden I felt this unbelievable pain in the left side of my head, then my right side I jumped up realizing that she had punched me in the head and with such force I hit the other side on the wall, I asked why she said its for having the affair. The end result was I had clicking noises in my head each time i sneezed coughed etc. Stupidly I didn't go to the doctor I was ashamed that a women was beating me up.
Anyway a few months later I had an ear infection I have had it before so no problems, however a few hours later I started to get a violent head ache which a doctor misdiagnosed as normal for an ear infection the end result was 24 hours later I was in a coma in hospital with meningitis, this left me profoundly deaf and unable to walk in low light or darkness because my balance organs had been destroyed by it as well, and truthfully ruined my life, a year later I was summoned to hospital and they told me that they found the reason why I had meningitis it was because on both side of my skull the tegmen was missing and my brain was flopping onside me ear cavity. I new instantly how this happened, it was due to the punch in the head she gave me, yet again I kept my mouth shut about it, we were getting on really well again and i did not want to rock the boat, I had a 13 hour operation to repair the damage, and since having meningitis she had stopped the violence. Things upto about 3 and a half years ago have been OK but then the area manager of the company she worked for started accusing her of not doing her job properly, I have to say that he was benign unfair as she put her heart and sole into the shop she managed, This badly effected her and she left the job but a few weeks later she started to blame me for it saying I was always jealous of her success, this really upset me as I was always there for her supporting her, Over the next three years I fought hard to save the marriage but on a Friday evening on late this January she told me she wanted a divorce I was gutted we have been together for 35 years married for 34, but at the same time there was this great s
Steve 10/05/2021 at 12:37 pm
cont...A partner with whom, after the first date, I had to have a very uncomfortable conversation about what I'd previously been accused of, in case she wanted to run for the hills. Thankfully she didn't and we're now very happy.
Steve 10/05/2021 at 12:35 pm
This is going to sound like a bad episode of Eastenders, but this is what happened: I was arrested in 2015 after my now ex wife got bored and decided she'd spice up her life by making up a load of nasty stuff about me so she could play the victim to her friends. One of these friends was a little more socially responsible than the others, and took what she said seriously and so quite reasonably went to social services as we have children. Social services then tried for a long time to contact me, but knowing this, my (ex)wife secretly disconnected the house phone so they couldn't. Then, realising the jig was up, and we'd end up in the divorce court, she decided to go all in, go to the police and say I had been abusing her because that way she would get legal aid and perhaps browny points in the divorce. After I was arrested I thought it was all a big mistake; my initial theory was that someone online had gotten hold of my (ex)wife's details and had made allegations pretending to be her. When I was questioned I said I didn't need a solicitor as it was "all a big mistake". Only half way through the interview did it click that this was real and was happening, and that she was behind it. Still I gave evidence without a solicitor present, which in retrospect was an incredibly stupid thing to do; I was a mess, confused, had never been interviewed by the police before and could have said anything. I then spent a very scary night in the cells, was bailed and went to live with my brother. Only later did we find out that she had done this before to someone else. The worst part for me was the way I started to question myself, and my memory of events. I denied the allegations of course, they seemed absurd; that wasn't something I would ever do. But then I started questioning myself. Was I remembering things correctly? After all these allegations were coming from someone I should have trusted. And they supposedly happened a long time ago. Was I at fault? Then while I was on bail further allegations; and this time they were very recent (the previous week). She accused me of attacking her when I picked my son up for contact. And then I knew. It wasn't me, it was her. I hadn't misremembered anything. I wasn't at fault. I couldn't trust her. She was out to get me. And most definitely had a screw loose. Eventually, the police investigation ended with the very unsatisfying conclusion of 'No further action', which simply meant there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute. No exoneration, no suggestion that she lied. In most people's minds all that means is that 'he did it, but got away with it', not that he's innocent. I know because before all this happened I would have been one of the people who thought that. 'Believe the victim' they tell you and I would have done that. Why would someone make up something like that? Why indeed? Thankfully, not all women are crazy and I have a new partner now. A partner with whom, after the first date, I had to have

Kerry 21/03/2021 at 8:32 pm
My partner was accused of making threats to kill by his ex wife. I know he did nothing of the sort, I was there and witnessed everything. After years of coercive control he finally left her and very quickly moved in with me. We went to the flat they used to share in order to try and collect the last of his belongings. I went to record any incident on my phone as we expected trouble. We arrived to find the flat in darkness, my partner looked through the kitchen window and remarked that there was no fridge, perhaps she'd already moved out....he then looked through the letterbox and told me he saw her shoes, so she hadn't yet moved out.....she must be working away. We left. No recording....there was nothing to record! An hour later we receive a call from the police.....I can't hide my surprise and tell the officer we were there but we thought she was out! Turns out she'd made an accusation of criminal damage. Three days later she'd changed the complaint to threats to kill, citing a misunderstanding due to language difficulties and my partner was being carted off to the police station.....meaning I had to call work for him and explain that he'd been arrested doing his reputation at work no good at all. Since then we've had our first hearing and we discover that we've been put through he'll because she says he said 'I'll kill you' through the letterbox. Our statements are identical to hers apart from that one fact. Utterly ridiculous. The police refused to take my statement at the time. Our solicitor agrees this should never have got this far. We have every confidence that he'll be exonerated, but we don't get legal aid. This is costing £3k. If this wasn't so stressful and expensive, it would almost be funny.

I was accused off domestic violence against my ex partners mum in October 2020. I came home from work and just said to my ex tell your parents to butt out off things with that she lost the plot and started hitting me and in self defence I put my hand up and accidentally caught her mouth. When I was arrested I told the police this in the interview. My Ex refused to.make a statement. Then a month later she made a statement against me saying I had my hands round her throat. She never had any marks on her when the police looked that night and 48 hours after she had no marks. But where she hit me I had marks on my neck. I was in court on the 17/02/21 pleaded not guilty I now have a 6 hour trial in August.

I was falsely accused Sep 2020 by an ex girlfriend. Long story short she was constantly accusing me of chatting to other women, she even went through my phone repeatedly, found nothing and then started blocking my friends on my facebook. In the end I told her I was leaving so she tried stopping me with pushing, as I shouted she pushed me back in to wall by my throat, later punching me and then biting my arm. I never hit back, only pushed her to the floor a couple of times and forced a door open as she had locked the front door and was holding the living room door closed. I was later arrested for GBH with intent to harm, ABH and criminal damage. She had lied saying I attacked her for no reason, yes she did have bruises and bumps on her head where she hit the floor, again I never attacked or hit her back, just pushed her away to get out of her house. Still on bail as it keeps getting extended but I stress because with allegations the women's word is favored in law and society etc. Luckily I had the sense to take photo's or the scratches on my throat, scabs over my face from the ring on the hand she was punching with and the bite mark and go to the hospital to be checked over.

My ex partner of on and off 4 years accused me of domestic in a child hearing papers after I applied for equal responsibilities and time with my child she claimed I abused her for 4 years when in fact we had one drunken argument which led to her hitting me and I restrained her.she claims she called police and that they never did anything (which is false)we ended in January 2019(which is important)after my daughter was born after I walked away.To which she stopped me seeing my child and has done since.she also claimed she contacted women’s aid right after. But continued to try sleep with me try it on with me etc I have letters and conversations which can back my Side of events but how do I prove this in court ?
William 13/12/2020 at 6:34 pm
A court order was in place whereby I see my son and bring him to my home weekly. His mother has not followed the court order and has used Covid 19 as an excuse to prevent this contact taking place (when shielding and lockdown were lifted). I have re enforced the order, this is pending in the courts with another hearing in the new year. The mother has found a solicitor. I have been informed that this can be done by claiming domestic abuse to obtain legal aid. The mother has not made any claims in any previous statements of domestic abuse but I’m concerned she has this time to claim access to legal aid. I am told if this is the case it would be undisclosed to the court anyway. Is this true, possible etc. And what are my rights. I cannot afford a solicitor either so I am self representing. Of course it’s me who has taken it to court but only so I can have contact with my son.

Thank you in advance for any comments or feedback.

I was falsely accused of domestic violence.
A detective called me and started to tell me to save my side of the story so I did then he said why did I bit his thumb. I pause because I was shocked. I told him I never did that so I don’t know where he’s getting that from.

As far as the detective in him pressing charges I have no idea about that.

Now he says that he wants to say that everything he said was false.

I even told him listen even if you say his fault he might think that I’m forcing you to say that or something like to that extent you’re a mean so this is like a huge problem.

I am video of him admitting to everything.
Also other day I took pictures of myself because he hit me in the face several times and I had bruises. I told it to the detective and he said that he never had mentioned that. The pictures of the day and the time which was today of what happened.

I’ve been talking to my psychiatrist about all this and she will write a letter in the fence about me also my landlord to because he has noticed everything and has noticed that Alex has a history of calling the police for just everything not related to me.

What to do

OG 25/11/2020 at 12:58 pm
Dear Tom,

I have found myself in a similar but more horrifying situation. My ex-partner is accusing me of assauting her 10 year old daughter back in July 2020, spitting in her face and harrassing her through text messages.

I spent 22 hours in a cell and was questioned and released on bail, to appear at the police station on the 11th December.

All these allegations took place after I went to collect my 4 year old daughter as pre-arranged with my ex and she refused for me to see my daughters as she said I employed a mediator and now cant see my kids.

I called the police as was afraid the situation would get hostile only for them to arrest me claiming that my ex alleged I had assaulted her and her daughter back in July 2020.

I am now on bail and unable to see my kids. The likelyhood is that I will be remanded in custody on the 11th as the CPS only take into account my ex's statement and this will be enough to prosecute me.
Tom 08/11/2020 at 9:59 pm
I came home at 7pm in the evening to find two police officers waiting to arrest me. I was told that I was being arrested for domestic violence and handcuffed. I was then taken to a police station and held in a cell until 3pm the next day. It was the most horrendous night if my life and exhausted when I finally was interviewed. The details of allegations was that I allegedly thumped my wife and she fell over and sustained some minor bruising. This apparently happened five days before the police actually came to arrest me. We are going through a divorce at the moment and have no doubt that she is not usually using this accusation to have me removed from the house, possession of the family home and also full custody of the kids. How can the law support people who can be so vindictive! Out on bail now but homeless and unable to have contact with my kids. Anyone been in a similar situation and any advice?
False allegations Ri 04/11/2020 at 12:28 pm
Also to add, from comments read on here i can see there is a trend in Sham marriages being carried out by the same kind of people making these false allegations. Mostly seem to be women who marry UK citizens to gain citizenship.
1 week after my ex received british citizenship through all my families hard work and efforts, I had found out that she was already in an affair with someone else. Even after giving her a second chance, she was still involved with another affair and still came back to me for help with applying for her british passport....this is really a growing trend the Home office needs to look into, as I have seen a very clear link between false allegations against men from women who have come to the UK clearly to obtain citizenship.
False allegations on 04/11/2020 at 12:19 pm
I am a 37 yr old male, ex british Army serviceman and no criminal record or issue with police in my life till I was falsely accused of multiple rape allegations over a whole year period by the ex who with the assistance of the bad crowd she gaslights to had me arrested after I had clearly caught her committing mortgage fraud and extorting money from me for it until I had made it clear I wanted no involvement and would report this to the police if I had to due to what my family had been experiencing due to her actions. After she realized I could no longer be used by her, she left a trail of destruction for my family to deal with ontop of her being a huge contributing factor to my CPTSD.
I have lived in an abusive relationship from her towards me and my daughter since she came to the UK only a few years ago and its now been over 6 months since the charges were dropped after she did not support her bogus statement with countless holes in it, clearly as she played the victim , she was not even done for wasting police time or what I had to go through for over 3 months of the police clearly not dealing with the case properly, and numerous admin errors, from 1 allegation to 4 and then to 2.
I really had no idea how bad things are handled with the police till I was in the spotlight and not working for them for a change.
My advice to any guy who is encountering an kind of domestic abuse or has a mental condition that is being made worse by their spouse, I recommend you tell the right people right away, no loved one will ever abuse, scam or play on your condition for their own personal benefit. Notice the warning signs and get help as soon as possible.
True there are hardly any resources aimed at men who are facing domestic abuse or false allegations of any kind. Most results on the web are aimed at women, and this is a really biased view on what is really going on in relationships.
It is almost pretty safe to say that if you are a man in modern UK, you are always going to be at risk for having a penis.
Solo 03/10/2020 at 12:44 pm
Hi I've been falsely accused of dv. My partner has seve mental health this is by no means an excuse but I need my name cleared. My partner is prepared to come with me to talk about this. Tbh I'm not sure if I have been convicted. Cps took it too court there's no evidence but court gave me 14 days to stay away from her and my children. How do I know if I've been convicted or not
Cld 22/09/2020 at 5:51 pm
My brother has 2 children to a police officer who has stopped him seeing the children. She has made up all kinds of stories and lies and now has a court order against him so he can't see them or approach her or them. Because she is a police officer she always has them on side and calls and reports him if he even drives through the area (where our family also live). Her stories were thrown out by the judge as she never has evidence but she never faced any repercussions for her lies as they look after their own! Solicitors to fight against the police are so hard to come by and extremely expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Beery 14/09/2020 at 8:23 pm
I don’t want to come across as rude or uncaring
But don’t understand why in comments section it’s mostly woman and there stories! I was hoping with the title separated dads it would provide contents of other dads going through similar situations. I care about these women opinions and feelings as they are equally as important as the next person. They have a very high number of website for women and very little for men

I need help I have a new partner we’re still getting to know each other we’ve had arguments he’s broken stuff in the argument and he’s replaced it but police have been called this is only happened when my child has not been here he’s never hit but he has broken stuff and replaced it I’m not scared off him he don’t control me and we don’t live together but now my child’s father picked her up from school and refused to return her home he’s said I’m a Domestic abuse relationship which I don’t know how to prove I’m not they’re are no police reports when my child is present and we don’t usually argue it’s so random but now I’m being told I have to leave partner regardless weather he’s abusing me or not even know he’s very willing to go to anger management or kickboxing classes to stop him breaking things
Ruby 02/09/2020 at 12:16 pm
I have the same issue as sam. I have married a North African male and he came to UK on a marriage visa and now has gone to falsely claim domestic abuse. I hear this is a common game now. I am going to the police today with all the evidence I have. I have been nothing but good to him. I was advised to go to the domestic abuse service but they can't help me because they are helping him. I need to prove my case to them. Which I will.
Shazra 19/08/2020 at 12:51 pm
Hi I'm looking for advice where to go as I've made some awful mistakes, first my daughter made an ligation to the police saying i had neglected my 3 boys, then social services came into our lifes because my partner has a conviction 20 years ago, I took on board the licence conditions which he couldn't be left alone with the boys he never was, but I freaked out and made a false statement against him, I retracted my statement, but hes now in prison, and I've lost my boys too, I feel so ashamed of myself, for letting them bully me into this as I've never had any dealings with the police in my life, and they are trying to separate us, both for good , please if anyone is in the same situation I'd like help please, as I've had to choose between my partner or my boys, I've lost everything, we've only been together for nearly two years
Sam 16/07/2020 at 8:53 pm
My wife is North African tricked me into marriage for the sake to come and remain in the UK , I got her spouse visa and we lived together for nine months ,
Immediately after I found out from her relatives that
I was a victim of fraud and they knew her intention from the start ,
She called the police and filled domestic abuse under false allegations , her main purpose was to get indefinite leave to remain .

Mr J 08/07/2020 at 9:19 pm
I was in a relationship for 4 years.
We both ended up become very insecure over time and admittedly started to control one another. The relationship became highly toxic to the point we both just couldn't cope with each other's demands anymore. We did love each other but our expectations of each other became ridiculous and out of control.
We ended up officially breaking up in May of 2018. After that point we remained "friends" bit we were still intimate both physically and emotionally towards eachother.
This went on for 16 months. Within the 16 months we would go for meals together, and have days out and spent Christmas 2018 together.
We where still very loving and wanted to be in each other's lives.
Despite what we wanted, we ended up having a big fall out and completely stopped seeing eachother. We do have a little boy together.

This is now where things take a real turn for the worst...

In November of 2019, 2 years after our official break up, there was a knock at my door... it was the Police!
He handed me a card which said "Harassment" on it! I was confused why they where giving me a card as I've harassed no one.
I called the contact number on the phone and I then ended up in a 3 hour police interview.
The interview was recorded.
I was asked a multitude of questions regarding our relationship and she had written a statement saying I had coerced her and controlled her etc!
I was honest at the station... I said yes I did this or said that "but so did she"!

Ultimately it went to CPS and I ended up in Magistrate's court. I pleaded not guilty. I now have to go to crown court to make another plea, which will be the same.
It will go to trial!

The fact is this...

The relationship was toxic and we BOTH Behaved inappropriately towards each other.
She controlled me and was disgusting to me at times and vice versa. I simply cannot plead guilty when I know it was a two way street.
The problem I have is my admissions in the station which has ended me up in this absolute mess.
She has told so many lies it's absolutely horrendous and I can't believe how terrible she is and how hurtful she is.

I have evidence of her disgusting controlling behaviour in our relationship. I have texts and even a video of the way she was treating me.
So far not even the solicitor knows my side of the story or has seen my evidence.
I have decided I am going to go to the police station and report her along with my evidence for the very same "Crime"!

She has also stopped me from seeing my son.

This is an absolute mess and I could be facing ALOT of trouble. I've never been in trouble with the law in my life. She is evil and twisted and is being vindictive.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Naz 23/06/2020 at 6:10 pm
Hello I have been falsely accused and arrested 3 times by my parents. They would get in a fit of anger and in the heat of the argument they would call the police and falsely accused me. Only the last time was too late they have charged me with cohesive and control behaviour and when I was arrested I was holding on the stair case of my parents house and 5 police officers were pulling me. I felt like I was being raped by 5 police officers but I was not going because I thought they had made a huge mistake and my mum told me that they did not call the police that time so I wanted to talk to my mum so she could tell them she didn't want this. Onepl police officer has a tiny scratch on his hand and one hurt her arm when they were pulling me from the stairs and they are saying I beat up 2 police officers when I never ever touched them both of my hands weww hold on to the stair case in fact one police officer was digging her nails into me to peel my fingers from the stairs we all fell back into the kitchen where I held onto the kitchen door which broke off then one officer said he was going to spray me in the eyes and I said I would come but another officer said just spray her just spray after I agreed to go
I was humiliated by five racist police officers and now they are milking it. I have a court date on the 9th July please help me my whole life is ruined I have been suicidal when I did nothing wrong even my parents admitted that

suki 17/06/2020 at 9:51 pm
the domestic violence laws are encouraging partners to ring police and file fake allegations, once a allegation is made, the police arrest the individual.

everyone please install CCTV, micro cameras, its time to show evidence and be one step ahead, fake system,
suki 17/06/2020 at 9:47 pm
hello
I have been arrested 5 times for domestic violence, each time the allegations were I have pushed my partner, spat in her face, false allegations.
the police try and make the most of it, encouraging partners to submit statements so they can press charge. the whole English system is fake, innocent individuals get caught up. The police is crafty they work on performance targets and the officers are trying there best to get a statement, they try and trick people
my cases have failed, CPS tried to prosecute me, but the Judge threw the case out.

domestic violence the women are exploiting the laws, lying to police, false allegations, overall the working partner has to pay for solicitor costs,
fake system, fake law,
Paul 10/06/2020 at 5:43 pm
Hello, my ex had made numerous allegations from GBH to child abuse but has always stopped short of having me arrested or more recently going to trial in the family court instead almost blackmailing me into for example accepting a no blame non molestation order. She’s essentially used the threat of arrest to control and abuse me. And trust me she did a great job because I lived in fear and was terrified of her mood swings which left me emotionally ruined. We brought a home together last October and she again bullied me into paying for all the furniture the last item was brought and the day after she ended the relationship. Six weeks after she got an occupation order and accused me of abusing her. The judge wasn’t convinced so he order we present evidence four weeks later she then alleged I’d committed child abuse on her 14 year old, on her throwing in GBH and a couple of other issues of violence all fabricated. I was in a complete meltdown and even with no defence (because I wasn’t emotionally capable at the time of doing anything) she still didn’t want the trial and agreed the order which was six months no contact and she would buy me out the house and I could take all my furniture which I agreed to accept. She’s changed her mind now three times and wants the furniture and won’t release my money until I accept her new terms which means I’d lose nigh on £30,000 from two months living together. Police won’t help even though I have now pulled myself together and have indisputable evidence she’s lied to the police, social services and the court. Anyone got any advice and or can direct me to get some help legally to right this wrong?

Why would two female officer visit your ex you have two young daughters with,who hasn’t made an allegation against you and hasn’t in the past who you’ve been separated from for 9 years, to ask about dv history or if she experienced it while yous were together? And be very insistent to think carefully about any little detail that could be linked to a “recent serious allegation”. They also never left a card or information pamphlets but said they would email her?!? Please help me out here my anxiety is going through the roof over all these questions and the unknown of who is trying to mess with my life! Thanks for any ideas or opinions or professional advice given!!

Doug 25/03/2020 at 10:08 pm
I’ve been accused of DV and stalking. This woman who I had an affair for 6 months, tried to keep from telling her husband. One day my Ex ran into her and her husband, and ratted her out about the affair. I was led to believe for 3 months that she had already told her husband. She eventually got me fired and charged me with stalking an DV. My lawyer before he closed his practice asked if I was doing all this then why didn’t she call the cops. The prosecutor here is only going by her statements. I’ve been unable to find a job for a year now because this is an open class 5 felony case. I’ve maxed my credit cards, sold everything I had and quite frankly one step away from taking my life. I used to believe in the system, now I’m delusion by the system and people in general. I’ve never been in trouble in 57 years and now I’m ruined and trying to find a sliver of hope in humanity.
cupanrod 27/01/2020 at 7:58 pm
I am going through the hell of a false allegation of DV by my Ukrainian 'spouse',who was in the UK for 2 weeks on her spouse visa before I confronted her about her duplicity and asked for a divorce. She called Police,however I wasn't arrested and elected to leave the house so she couldn't make further false allegations. All she needed to do was this one fake call,then got to a Dr and women's aid place,and I stand to lose everything when it's her who is in fact in the wrong-and there's not much I can do.

I spent a total of 45 days with this woman in 2 years before she got here and did this,having met on a dating site.I am going to lose the lot now,while she plays the system with her new Russian man in the UK and set themselves up for life at my expense. The solicitors she's engaged happen to be Russian nationals practising in the UK-it's a massive scam and nothing is done about it because she hides behind the DV laws. I have been at the point of suicide this past 20 months-I haven't seen or heard from her,but managed to find out what she was up to.

This is the ultimate nightmare-stay away from Ukrainian and Russian dating sites,it's a huge scam and the women only want immigration,before playing the system and disappearing with their real partner,and destroying lives.
SHAKTI 25/01/2020 at 10:13 pm
SHAKTI womans aid in edinburgh need reported by everyone who has been scammed by them to the home office.
They tell immigrant scammers only women get believed because of the scottish dv laws and the fact the local police and social services are in bed with them. They provide council paid housing all free while british people are homeless and they encourage this dv immigration scam and make money from doing this fraud. The fake dv scammers never want to return home with free tax payer money payed to them.
The home office can not act because the police charge the british victim husband or british family members as abusers.
Everyone affected by their scam needs to report to their mp and report the matter to the parlimentary ombudsman.This is the same as edinburgh council property repairs fraud. They try to intimidate and silence the victims.This needs to be made public
Ilr dv scam 16/01/2020 at 11:45 pm
Edinburgh shakti are like a gangster racket. My both physically and emotionally violent mother of child used the Scottish dv claim after she put me through yet another sustained attack after which I admitted to her that I was done, having tried my best for the sake of the child. A couple of weeks later they were in 'safe' houses which She shared photos and location of. She was always clear it was a visa she was after and tricked me to fall pregnant. Actually her behaviour at that time would constitute rape. Anyway, here she is, the perpetrator playing the victim and laughing about how her friends want to come to Scotland to claim dv get the full benefits and child maintenance which She sends to her family abroad and doesn't spend on my kids. Only Grace is I get kids weekly as she has to fulfil her need to go out and get random cock.
Thankfully she is no longer taken over my home and every second but there's still a long way to go.
Like I said, it's a shakti scam but at least my kids are in UK.
I'm still paying the visa and debts to bring her here and she tried to buy 10g car and is looking to another 4g holiday and doesmt work. It is indeed a womams world and theres nothing equal about it.

My Son is abused for DV by his wife fir getting ILR as she is on Spouse Visa. She got Non Molestation Order without notice, which finally got discharged at the Court in the return hearing. I want to teach her a lesson that she can not just make me suffer for not doing anything and I want her to get punished for false allegations and wasting Police/Court’s time as well as Public fund as they legal aid when there is a DV. Can somebody suggest who can help me in this matter.
Also how can I deal with it in Financial Settlement as I do not want to pay her a single pound when she has accused us for DV. What does the Law or any Court Order say.

I'm separated from my wife . I've been told by one of her friends she is putting in a domestic violence case against me. Iv9not no criminal record & have never hit a woman. The last few mon9have been tough. She would attack me then try provoke me to strike back but I knew what she was doing. I held her wrist & warned her several times when she attacked me that I knew what she was doing. I have plenty of photos of my injuries. The last event was an attack with a bedroom light for switching it on. I have a text message sent to me by one of her friends admitting she hit & threw it at me. So for weeks now I've been unable to sleep. I'm at my wits end
Dave 21/11/2019 at 5:36 pm
My wife left with my little kid and claimed domestic abuse. She go a non mol against me without proof. Havent seen my kid for a year. She did it so she could have a place to stay and extend her visa probably next year. The legal system is so unfair that I have not seen my child for a year and looking like I have lost him for good as she is vindictive and cold. We had some ups and downs in our marriage andthinks were not working out as such but to take a child far away from his father is not right. No concern about the child.
Ajh 19/11/2019 at 9:55 pm
lots of foreign spouse used DV as tool to get remain in ukwhen relationship about to broken. i would advise med9082 please contact immigration enforcement team in your area and inform them along with please also send police refuse charge notice to SET DV (ILR) she wont get visa if domestic violence not found. please also report to Action Fraud if you think if are victim of marriage fraud and she used you to get in to Britain and take that reference number to police station and ask them to make a formal report and investigate this matter. if she pledging you false accusation on you in actual she is committing a crime . i would advise you to go to police stationand ask them to follow CPS guidance as she fail to proof dv and she falsely accuse police should act on set under CPS guidance. please also make sure you informed curtailment tocurtailed her visa. i hope this information will help you

Someone attacked my wife it wasn't me we are separated and police took my phone and her for investigation because she was in coma. They came back to her and told her that they see domestic abuse in messages . We have bad and good days like everyone but messages are bad from both sides . She doesn't want to speak with them and what now ? Can they charge me when she doesn't want to accuse me for that because she thinks that they are messages between us . I've never said that I will hurt her but was txt about her cheating and other things. What police can do now?I didn't do anything wrong I'm looking after her now because she was in come and had head injury

Dv fraud 14/09/2019 at 10:32 pm
I am also accused of dv to scam ILR.
This scam was told to my ex by SHAKTI womans aid edinburgh as she wanted accomodation.
They then tried to intimidate me by having me constantly arrested on fabricated allegations.

Woman are above the law if backed by womans aid.
Thanks to them as soon as a visa was obtained by my illegal ex i got arrested for dv.
Muhammeds advice does not work. The home office did nothing and now i can not see my child for a year because they then made up im a rapist and child abuser to try and get me put in jail .All the while she gets rewarded with free accomodation and UK benefits.

My wife having affair and works for government unfortunately she lied to police and courts even we married staying same house and often her boyfriend comes my house when I working they sleep together, I caught them in the hotel with my daughter she decided tell lies to police I am stalking her threating to kill her boyfriend police not look to bother properly evidence And I get harshly 2 years prison .My solicitor also didn't work harder only interested to get legal aid money and bullied me to get guilty.I work hard never get any problems with police. Because her lies now her own family not talking to her including her dad and sister. I try go back police with evidence but they not interested at all ,
My wife works close probation officer and even she lied to my case and put probation report lot off lies asking to judge get prison sentence I put complaint probation service but again they not interested.
All my advise don't put yourself in danger especially if you minor ethnic groups police and CPS coming against you.

Hi, writing this on behalf of a friend who is currently serving a sentence for controlling and coercive behaviour. He pled guilty as he couldn't afford a defence, and also as he had lost his temper and shouted and even spat on one occasion. It was a gross miscarriage of justice as the abuse had been even greater from his wife to him, with hiding his post, hiding the finances and running up debts in his name, and spending 3 years secretly gathering evidence and making secret recordings to get him convicted. He couldn't apply for legal aid as she wouldn't declare their finances to him so he couldn't complete the form. He continued to give her money until his incarceration. She is now spouting more lies about him and as a convicted criminal he is terrified that no one will listen to him. He has lost everything and is still even in prison living in terror of what she will do next. He has been worried about her mental health for a long time, but even more so now, and she has sole custody of his children. Most importantly he is worried about his children welfare and emotional wellbeing, as he has not seen or been able to contact for over a year now. How can he safeguard himself against more accusations and how can he safeguard his children?

Hi all, my ex cheated on me with her cousin (who lived in our house) for many months. When I found out we had an argument but I didn't touch her. She has anemia and she's always bruised so she used that to make up a story to police that I tried to rape her and beat her up. I never touched her! Social services lady is a spy! She says she looks for both sides and primarily for the baby but she's clearly just trying to get the info on the monster! Me!
I have proofs that she's lying in all her "statement of truth" and I have no compassion at all to send her to jail for everything she's done to me. She's told them she's afraid I kill her and my baby!!!! She's totally mental! She's a real sociopath and I have several proofs of everything and of their plan to destroy me and give a new father to my son! She's from Peru and her mother did exactly the same to her dad! Totally insane. I got today a non molestation order and I'm moving out tomorrow so I can be following the law (I don't know why... they just on her side apparently) and clear my mind and workout the best way to prove all this. I have a hearing in 2 weeks since it says that tribunal will "re-consider" the case. Is that my chance to prove every lie from her. ? Or is that just to blind me behind bars for years ? I never did more than love my kid and I have proofs and witnesses that she's an alcoholic and a sociopath! Please someone call or email me!

my ex has lied to the police about me hitting her witch I was arrested and this has happened twice and the police had let me go with no further action taken but she has used this to break a court order and is now stopping me having any contact with my child I only thing I can say is, to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and it will always come out who is lying it is so sad when a woman lies just to get her own way and stop a father being a dad I have not seen my son again for 16 days and when we went to court last time it was a 50/50 split but because she is heartless and has a new boyfriend after only splitting up for 28 days and I said to her get to know him first before he is around my son because we don't know this guy she went to the police again but this time there was CCTV and she was seen hitting me so I am going back to court as soon as I can and this time im going to have my son full time as she can not be trusted but with my dealings with the police they always seem to take the mothers side I have made a complate against them and i dont trust any police at all because of this the only two times I have been arrestted in my life is due to her making up lies so my advice to anyone is always doing things the right way and within the law though the courts and this is the only way to do it as one day your kid will be asking questions about what has gone on and try and stay strong and have good friends and family support you good luck to all the fathers out there just tring to be Dads

Hi all

Hope you are all well.

I am going through this false domestic violence claim, but for me it is being done to obtain an indefinite leave to remain visa. I caught my wife chating and sending naked pics of her self to her 'boyfriend', I was fooled into marrying her as she made me believe she was madly in love with me.
She ran away from me and went to her aunt who helped her file a false police report and help her get aid with 'Next Link' a women's aid organisation. Aunt then had a fall out with the wife so the aunt informed me what they did to help her. She also informed me that the support worker at 'Next Link' said the best way to increase her chances was to lie and claim domestic violence.
I have the aunt's confessision on my phone but the police wont take action that a false report was filed against me to obtain a visa.
Any ideas how I can take this forward?

Thanks

Hi...
Ex trying to move my sons school... So I did a prohibited step order... Now she in contesting it... Saying one of the reason she wants to move my son from school is because of domestic violence and is scared from me. Its all a lie. I haven't seen my kids for 7 weeks now, waiting for child arrangements hearing to come through.
What do I do now because these allegations she will put across are false?! All I want is to see my lil babies that's all.
Can someone please give me some advice.

Hi. Goin thru hell right now. Moved into a property we bought do it was big enough for our baby and partners 2 kids, but post natal depression took over straight away and after 3 months of living together I'm being accused of DV, not at home but in a hotel where we were supposed to be staying for my Dad's 70th. It was her who assaulted me! With a glass of coke, her fists, nails, hands. I used an ironing board to shield her before throwing it at a wall to destract her while I fled. Baby wasn't present but her 13yr old daughter was. She reported to police once she got home n social services say I can only have 1hr supervised access with baby per week! I was arrested the day after the incident, quizzed, then she withdrew her statement! But things still might end up in court etc. Shocking. Suddenly a bruise appeared on her arm and cheek n police took pics. I have bruises too but no one took pics. Am I doomed? It's killing me this

Any recommendations on who I talk in regards to be falsely accused of domestic violence. I have a police report to prove I actually was violently attacked. This is all to get a council property.
mikyboy 06/06/2019 at 12:52 pm
it all sounds like playing the domestic violence card to me,
all designed for maximum impact, with alot of hurt and pain, toward people who have been accused of something they havant done, and all design to get a house thru domestic violence,and a quick divorce, very clever, and now im having to talk to my solicitor and the Police, and to clear my name, as i did not assault my ex wife never ever, all this has done now is open a hole can of worms, i cant say much more because its being investigated, what mess all this is, why lie i just dont understand
Bert 05/06/2019 at 12:08 pm
Hi, I have someone close in a situation where domestic violence social services has turned up on his door accusing him while not actually saying what. His partner has strenuously denied all they are accusing and I know for a fact theirs is not true. They have sent police round, she’s sent them away, they have tried putting words in her mouth, and basically are emotionally blackmailing her. They have 4 kids together and know this “woman” has said unless the father stays away from the house they will report her to child social services.....but if he stays away they will drop everything, so long he does. We think someone with a grudge has phoned up making false accusations.

Any advice as he seems to be getting nowhere.

Even though his partner has fully backed him.
Mikyboy 02/06/2019 at 4:19 am
My ex wife who I told to leave some 24 months ago because I caught her cheating, anyway,I had her divorce forms come today, and on it she said I was violent towards her and it’s been logged with the police, that hurt and upset me because I was never violent to her, and if I was to which I wasn’t why havnt the police been to see me or ask me questions ? She as lied. So much, and I guess that’s to get a house thru domestic violence and make the divorce quick, but it’s hurtful because I never ever was violent towards her
Devastateddad 03/05/2019 at 3:57 pm
Is it possible that the mum doesn't realise what harm she is doing? I find it hard to understand why my ex is doing this and making it impossible for me to see my 3 kids. Is it a mental disorder because I never knew she was capable of doing this to me ? I am devastated. Why is she doing this to me ?! No violence but she has made claims I have

Part 1.....Dear Group I don’t know who to turn to to get this story heard, a massive injustice has been done to my son , my grandchildren and our whole family, my sons life has been ruined, I am going to tell you the story briefly in the hope that someone can help so this doesn’t ever happen to anybody else, I know it’s to late for us but this just must not happen again,
In May 20017 my sons wife thought he was having an affair with a neighbor which he totally wasn’t, for a whole week they were arguing about this, it was bank holiday weekend May 2017 my son and the family went down to there caravan, on the Monday teatime my son left the caravan park as he had work the rest of the week and had to bring his teenage daughter from a previous relationship back, his wife stayed down the caravan until the Saturday morning with her mother in the caravan next door, they had been exchanging text messages all week while she was away, on the Saturday morning while my son was at work she returned home, she took some pictures in our bedroom of some injuries she had incurred somehow, my son returned home from work at around 2.45 pm on the Saturday as he was due to fit a carpet for his wife’s sister, he had promised his older son that he could go with him as he often did at weekends, his younger son decided he wanted to go also to play with his cousin, so they all 3 left to go to her sisters house,arrived at her sister house just before 3pm, was due to pick his daughter up around 5pm, so fitted a hall,stairs and landing carpet and arrived home to pick up the family car so he could pick his daughter up as she was spending the weekend with them as she often did, the car was not there and nor was his wife, so he called her to see where she was at cos he was in the van with both boys and there would not be room in van to pick his daughter up, so he called her and spoke to her friend who lived a short distance away, he asked to speak to his wife and she replied she needs space, so at this time he told her he needed to pick his daughter up and didn’t have room in the van, to which her friend replied you can drop them off here, so this is what he done, picked his daughter up and went home, at around 9 pm she arrived at the house with his eldest son who at the time was 7, she said to him she was having a sleepover at her friends house with the other 2 children but the eldest boy didn’t want to stay he wanted to stay at home with his dad, so she went in got some bits for the 2 children and herself and left, not really saying a lot, in the morning his wife’s dad came and picked the boy up, he spent the day with his daughter, at around 4 pm the police turned up and arrested him for gbh on his wife, totally shocked called his daughters mum to collect her, was held in custody all night and interviewed on the Monday, he was accused of on the bank holidayMonday morning down the caravan he got up in a bad mood punched her in the eye threw her out on the decking of caravan and

Part 3......we had £98,000 in equity in the house and she wanted it all on the grounds she was suffering pstd, she ended up with the majority of the proceeds of the house, cos she said she requires £65000 for a deposit for a shared ownership house, she got it He got the balance but had to clear all associated debts with the house out of his share which will leave him with £3000 towards his own debts that have accumulated by court costs, we have tried going to the police about all of her false accusations and how she has lied to police social services, the courts, we have multiple folders of evidence on her lies we wanted to provide, they won’t even look, we keep getting told it’s a civil matter, we do not have the money to bring a civil case, she just walks free on everything, my son is a nervous wreck , he was a confident man before all this, he is suffering all of this because of a family court judge found wrongly against him, I don’t believe that a judge in family court should be able to find against somebody on a criminal matter until they are found guilty of what they are being accused of, cos even though he has been cleared of all criminal charges, he is still guilty in the family court, and this has cost him his children, how can this be right? There is so much more to this story that people would not believe, we had a barrister from Bedford row for the criminal case and she said in all her years of being a barrister she has never seen a case with so may accusations; I don’t ever want to see any other family suffer like we have the past couple of years, due to a family court judge: I have even written to the mp on this situation, people like her should be prosecuted themselves for false accusations, if my son had of been found guilty for her false accusations he could have got 10 year in jail, thank the lord it was criminal court and not family, at least the criminal court work on evidence not probability, how many more families have suffered the same as us.

I havew tried to leave many times and I get met with im going to phone the police and put out a cause for concern and on a few occasions she has said I have hit her luckily for me the neighbours hear her all the time and have seen her chasing me about with knives in the past so no it isn't me, my partner has been charged with assaulting me 3 times and yesterday I decided I needed to get out of there I asked for her mum to come up to witness anything she might do. then my partner started shouting at me and her mum left. realising my witness had left I tried to leave behind her. my partner then through herself at the front door whilst screaming hes hit me hes hit me to which her mum reaplyed get a grip no he never and she then phoned the police on me. luckily for me the police and her mum seen through her lies and I was realesed without charge. I feel trapped if I leave will she try and get me jailed and if I stay will she continue to abuse me. I really dunno what to do

Hi,
I've recently had the most beautiful boy in the world. He's 4 weeks old now, first 3 weeks the best of my life the last week the worst and I do not see any way out.
Me and my ex had a great relationship, crazy in love and the total best of friends! In the early pregnancy she was attacked by her own family member in which I broke them up with a push and said family member was injured and tried to press charges. Police interviewed me and my partner who explained she was 8 weeks pregnant and being attacked and it was self defence so charges were of course dropped. Family member then decided to be spiteful and go to social services and other routes and my partner then cut off all contact with her.
Roll on the birth of our amazing son and 3 weeks of paradise she had been getting more and more stressed and down until one night, drink fuelled, she let loose on me. Attacked me and covered me in scratches, tried to drive away with the kids whilst drunk and uninsured, so I started recording all of this. She returned, took my phone and deleted all of my recordings. The following day she was all apologetic, however I couldn't let go of the driving thing and mentioned social services. She flipped out and took the children and I haven't seen them since.
Then I am arrested days later for apparently assaulting her while she had the baby in her arms which is absolutely ludicrous and controlling her for 12 months stopping her see her family and controlling money. In the interview I told them the truth of what happened and that I give her money constantly etc. And I have been bailed without charge pending further investigation for 3 weeks on conditions of no contact! How can I see my child?? I can't face waiting any longer I'm very close to giving up on life I have no purpose anymore and I haven't even done anything wrong. She's not the person I thought she was she's completely changed overnight and made up some absolutely insane allegations which I believe are to prevent me from seeing my boy. This is the most important time in my life to bond with him and I can't cope anymore. I've tried ringing every organisation and solicitor out there and nobody is giving me any answers. What can I do???

My ex wife accused me with theft and domestic violence in trail the court see i am guilty and ask to send me to probation officer to make report before make the sentence from the day I arrested my wife ban me to see the kids and i don’t know what should i do and what will happened with me
Rmk 29/10/2018 at 3:55 am
I'm going through the the same with my ex we broke up last year as she didn't have the bravery to tell me she had been cheating, so instead she made allegations about me being domestically violent and managed to disappear with my son, who since he was born I have been the main support for him as my ex thinks it's ok to sleep and use drugs 24/7, we reconciled April of this year now same as last year same time she done it again but this time she broke my hand, and even after I phoned the police on the night of the incident no-one came to see me, next day after working a 12hr shift I get into bed to have a knock at the door and find myself being tackled by 4 of them and being taken to the police station to spend the night and most of my work day with no way if contacting anyone as I was in my PJ's wen arrested, and to top it all off as I was leaving I was told that she had come back to the joint flat had the locks changed now I'm homless, un-emplyed and without my son, is their anyway to prove my inocence without having to face off against her as she has no qualms about lying to benefit herself and by the time I clear my name I would have lost another few years of my boys life ,should I just walk away or fight her?

Ex claimed dv and got legal aid. Dropped in court. Will she be able to claim legal aid again after Final Order?
Kurtisdx 30/09/2018 at 6:46 am
I've been with my wife for 12 years. Recently found out she was cheating on me. We argued about it, got heated so since then I've slept on the sofa. 3 weeks later I get served with a non molestation order and an occupation order, I'll seen a solicitor and they said it will cost minimum 2 thousand pounds to defend. She's getting legal aid. I've never laid a finger on her. Need to see if anyone else has been through this situation and won

jordyboy94 27/09/2018 at 10:28 am
My girlfriend has called the police on me over 10 times for apparently not leaving the house and assaulting her. she has got me arrested 3 times for things i haven't done. Now the police have put a 28 day restraining order out on me not to see her. she is 9 weeks pregnant with my child and she has a social worker who is trying to stop me from seeing my girlfriend by moving her away. In regards to seeing my child when it is born, because shes made several accusations stating im assaulting her etc when i'm not, will they stop me seeing and being apart of the childs life even if my girlfriend wants me to be. also what shall i do in these 28 days that i cant see or talk to her as she will be all alone and need support physically and mentally as she suffers from depression and will message or ring me to come help.
Graeme 25/09/2018 at 2:05 am
Hi.
Going through divorce as wife having an affair. I froze the joint bank account to stop either of us using it. Only my wages are paid into it. Worried she would rob. I asked if she would go into bank and remove her name to allow bills to be removed. Also pictures of her man appeared on my son's phone. We had a heated argument. I walked away as getting no where. She has then phoned police telling them I raised fist and threatened her. At no point did this happen. My 10 year old son was in and I sat with him. He asked me why mum doesn t love him anymore. How can I prove my innocence in this. I am scared of what she trying to do and use against me now.
Merp 25/09/2018 at 12:45 am
How about if you were recorded on a call by your ex, willing to accept any false accusation of domestic abuse because you're having a panic attack and she insinuates that if you do, she would come home and let you see your child again?

Because I think that kind of mental torture to extract a false guilty plea should not be able to be entered as evidence for the prosecution.
Tim 08/09/2018 at 5:01 pm
What should i do if my ex wife accused me with falsely domestic violence and when I arrested they asked me to not contact with her directly or indirectly also not allow to see my kids until I arrange it through my solicitor also dont go her street at all so what should i do to see my kids until the case is over my solicitor asked me to go for family solicitor to help me and i am suffering from that case from paying so any advice on any way i can access my kids fast and less cost I Feeling too bad from the time i stop seeing my kids and really don’t know what should I do
Thanks
Tim 08/09/2018 at 3:54 am

Sammy 08/08/2018 at 5:30 pm
Hi guys. Like you all I have been falsely accused. Ex took the kids to live abroad and on the basis of a heated argument phoned the US police accusing me of domestic violence, has now cut off all contact and got a US protection order issued against me.

I'm 6 weeks now since I last saw the kids and the legal stuff has started but the progress is agonisingly slow.

Today I hit an emotional brick wall and had to leave work to get some headspace.

Just want to say to you all.. stay strong... your kids will thank you for fighting to be their dads. It just hurts in the meantime.
DaveT Editor 09/08/2018 at 10:45 am
@Dan - man - that is not a nice thing to be saying about your son. It depends on what extent the heated arguments were and whether you consider yourself to be a bully. It sounds like your ex has concerns and that's why she is stopping overnight contact. It's time to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the honest question of whether she is right and you are wrong? If my ex called my kid a little s**t or similar I'd be worried.
Dan 08/08/2018 at 1:12 am
My partner recently left me and is now in a hostel claiming domestic abuse over 3 arguments in three years. Albeit heated and verbals were exchanged at both sides, and I’ve made the odd comment about my son being a little s**t (which of course is just comment, nothing intended obviously as other parents I know have said they’ve said worse), she is still claiming domestic abuse and I’m not longer able to see my son overnight even though she talks to me and regularly let’s me see my son. In your opinion, is this right? Or is this something I should pursue with the court for a false claim because I want my son on weekends and feel this is damaging my reputation
Thomas 17/07/2018 at 2:25 pm
I'm currently going through an issue with my ex partner she was living with her mother in private housing and was made homeless due to unpaid rent arrears. My ex at the time was pregnant with my daughter and came to live with me and my dad. I decided to move out of my dads to get our own place together and was put in temporary accommodation from the council. I was unaware of her status in the UK after the council asked for proof of her documents which she didn't have that made me become suspicious. After being in temporary accommodation for 6 months my daughter was born and things began to change. The council wouldn't offer any housing options until my ex proved that she had her leave to remain, passport, birth certificate, bank statements etc, My ex couldn't provide the documents and every time i asked about her legal status she would scream and shout and hit me pretending to have been beaten up to alert the hotel staff and other guests. She told the staff that i tried to rape my 6 week old daughter and after beat her up (my ex) the police was called which resulted in me getting arrested for domestic violence which i was found not guilty in court for. My ex's mother was living uncomfortable in a shared house at the time and wanted to be back with her daughter and 1st grand child. I am concerned about my daughters health and safety my ex has been put in a 'safe place' by the police with her mom because she didn't have a house to live in and now im suffering with depression and the system has failed me as a british citizen. A man of my size cannot be a victim to domestic violence because of my ethnic background and I am on the edge of taking my life. I now suffer with depression and PTSD i need help please
MatR Editor 13/07/2018 at 12:26 pm
@K - glad to hear mate. The courts know a false accusation when they see one. Well done. I hope it continues to go the right way for you.
AlN Editor 10/07/2018 at 12:31 pm
@K I wouldn't try to change the date of the court hearing as it could go against you. The court is pretty clued up in finding out if someone isn't telling the truth. Lots of parents lie in family law courts, so the courts are well versed in dealing with such stuff. Can't you ask for your phone back for the court hearing?
K 12/07/2018 at 7:34 pm
An update just to let anyone know that gets in this position the family judge did not go for it at all I didn't even have to show evidence they just listened to me i even agreed with my ex's solicitor to a interim occupation order and the judge said no if my bail conditions are dropped I can go home her solicitor did contest it immediately so they set another court date but today was 100% in my favour so anyone that has false accusations put on them please be strong the courts see straight through it I represented myself and just told them how I feel at what's the truth
K 10/07/2018 at 11:48 pm
And yes I have asked for my phone back but they wanted the solicitor to apply for it and like I said all of them just said it's ridiculous and not to worry as soon as the charges are dropped I will be putting charges on her as she's made my life hell
K 10/07/2018 at 11:43 pm
I've spoke to 3 solicitors today they just said it's ridiculous and there quite shocked my bail was extended they all said it's not worth me wasting my money just get to the court explain my side and it will be fine and not to worry or get a solicitor involved unless I'm charged with a crime which they all said will be highly unlikely. So good news but still worrying
AlN Editor 10/07/2018 at 12:49 pm
@CJB - same as @K for you. If you've not done the crime, it difficult for your ex to prove and the court should be able to see through it. Sometimes women do it in order to be able to claim legal aid and stop the dad from seeing the kids.
Alfie 11/06/2018 at 4:19 pm
I have been devorced for only a few months but have been separated for over a year. I have been redeculed on social media and also had my children taken from me and can only see them via contact center. She has done me for harrasment and this has now been discontinued due to lack of evadence. My mental state has been brought up as i tried to commit suicide twice when it all happened yet none of her threats has worked. Also she had a domestic violence worker and now this has seaced. How can I as i don't have money for a solicitor get help and get my time in court so they can see what she is doing. I also reasontly found out from my son there is another man involved and staying over in my house. What options are available and what can I do as a father. Plus when she had the affair the man in question was a known drug user whitch no one seems that bothered about. Please i need help as it's been six months since I last had my children with all of the accusations thrown at me with no success. I have been mentaly and emotionally abused by her and her family and have no real help to find a way to move foward. Please help.
SeparatedDads Editor 05/06/2018 at 2:36 pm
Unfortunately, your only options are to suggest your ex attends mediation and if she refuses apply to court. The courts are pretty good at assessing whether someone is lying or not as they deal with this sort of situation every day. As in all cases, the court’s main concern is the welfare of the child in question. The court will always put the child’s best interests first and this main issue will determine the outcome of any application for an order.
Yorksdad1989 05/06/2018 at 11:26 am
I've been separated from the mother of my 3 children for 2.5yrs now. And will my current partner just over 2yrs. We seperated after she assualted me and asked my then 6yr old to attack me with a kitchen knife. When we separated I was allowed contact by ex and she demanded days out as a family and that I see the kids to bed 7 nights a week. When I pulled back due her erratic and often aggressive behaviour she made it impossible to see them and 18 months passed by with no contact due to her threats and lies. It left me broken and on the edge of suicide.
I reached out and have finally been seeing them regularly since September last yr with them staying with me and my partner 2-6 nights a month too. There have been arguments with my ex during that time with me being accused of kidnapping my own kids and now assaulting them. I have reported my ex to the police twice for this sort behaviour but it isn't working. I'm broken again and terrified people will believe her lies. What do I do?
Han Editor 21/05/2018 at 9:48 am
@Nad - if you are innocent, then you will be let go again, especially if you can prove you were somewhere else. I think the thing is in your situation is to stay well away from your ex. If you don't go anywhere near her, then you can't be accused.
Nad 20/05/2018 at 10:36 am
My ex has falsely accused me of domestic violence on many many occasions, it has never resulted in charges being brought against me yet everytime i am accused, it is i that is arrested and on occasions spent 36 hours locked in a police cell. The latest episode only 4 days ago resulted in my arrest, release and no charges. But as soon as i was released my ex made another accusation, but this time more sereious of threatening her with a knife. There is currently a warrant for ny arrest but ive had enough, it has left me suicidal, i cant face another minute being falsely locked away simply on one persons word, especially given that she has been known to make these malicious accusations.

DJ 02/05/2018 at 9:35 am
Thanks, Jem. I’m back in court on 15th May, so will know more then. My children have met with CAFCASS but only 1 of my 3 children even want contact. It’s frustrating as the judge was previously not interested at all in the allegations of domestic abuse, stating “we should keep the current court in Involvement focused on contact with the children”. Whilst I agree with this it’s not nice to be sat alongside a top solicitor based on false allegations that could ruin my career. Fingers crossed eh?!
Jem Editor 01/05/2018 at 11:54 am
@DJ - I think the court will see through her motives. Your ex would need proof that you did all the things she says you have and if she has never mentioned this before, then the court are going to know she is trying to pull a fast one. Your kids are older now, they can bear witness too. I think her past record will out her too. It doesn't sound like you have too much to worry about.
DJ 30/04/2018 at 2:27 pm
My ex-wife and I separated almost 8 years ago and have been divorced for most of that time. She has dragged me through the Family Proceedings Court system over my 3 children, before throwing in the towel when she was outed by Social Care for disguised compliance. This was 2012/2013.

Since then all three children have come to live with me: my eldest son voted with his feet in 2014 and my other two were (voluntarily) sent to live with me by my ex-wife in 2105 following a disclosure of harm by my (then) 6 year old daughter at the hands of her step-father.

I have done my best to promote safe and appropriate contact between my 3 children and their mother. I have a Residency Order but I also applied to the court for a contact arrangements order in December 2015 (out of my own pocket) so that there would be some form of contact, but my ex-wife did not attend court and subsequently severed all contact with me. She maintained some contact with our children through letters but these stopped coming over a year ago, probably because she had a third child with her husband.

Almost 3 years have passed since my children had face to face contact with their mother and my ex-wife has now reappeared, wanting a relationship with our children. Great you say? Yes, except she has gone about it in the worst way and has obtained Legal Aid by claiming that I was a perpetrator or all forms of abuse. I believe that she has done this to gain favour of the court and paint me in a negative light. She has competed numerous C100 forms in the past when she has dragged me through court and there has been no mention of abuse, because it simply did not happen. I even have a report from CAFCASS from 2012/13 where she states “there was never any form of abuse during or relationship”. We weee together for 10 years and married for 8.

I myself work for the Local Authority, mainly with adolescents, but part of my role is working in partnership with an organisation that supports female survivors of abusive relationships through a 12 week recovery course. I am the only man to have delivered this programme in Cornwall and have been involved with this organisation for over 3 years. Now my good name is on the line, as well as my career and the future of my 3 children (as well as my 2 step children that I also provide for). My ex-wife has obtained the highter rate of Legal Aid and I am representing myself, having only just recently finished paying off credit card fees from the thousands that I had to spend when my ex (who has never worked a day in her life or contributed to my children’s upbringing) took me to court and tried to end my relationship with my children under false pretences in 2012/13, before being found out by services involved at that time.

There were no consequences for her before and she seems to be free to do and say as she pleases, irrespective if the consequences for me. At the initial hearing in February I contested the allegations but the District Judge
Sk 26/04/2018 at 7:44 pm
I'm on the receiving end of domestic abuse allegations when I was the receiving victim.
I just want to see the evidence against me.

Going through a familiar hell where ex funded her lawyer and swish barrister with legal aid. I asked to prove their allegations but they obstructed finding of facts first. Didn't even bother presenting any of the evidence required at all to justify the privileges granted to abuse victims

Then justified restrictions on contact on grounds of abuse. It bothers me a lot that a referral was made to refer me as a perpetrator but no idea of who or why. Its just on file in the legal aid agency. Is thee any way of doing this?
SadDad 21/04/2018 at 10:42 am
After 27 years of what I thought was happy marriage, my wife told me at Christmas she was leaving me, promptly borrowed money from her wealthy parents, bought a house and moved out.

She still wants to come and go in the family home (where I am now living) as she sees fit, arguing that she has her furniture and her property in the house. I have asked her to let me know when she is coming, and am happy to negotiate times.

Do I have the right to refuse her entry as she sees fit? I leave the house empty all day long, and feel vulnerable to her coming whenever she wants to. She has introduced me to a very unpleasant side of her character, is angry at me all the time, and every conversation leaves me emotionally upset, and physically churning. I have asked her to respect my wishes until we resolve whatever financial arrangements we need to make. Initially she agreed, but now she tells me she will come and go as she sees fit. I have threatened to change the locks, and she informs me that she would call the police if I did.

Where do I stand, please?
ConnorT Editor 17/04/2018 at 1:44 pm
@Rich - the difficulty is trying to work out who is dishing out the false accusations. Some cases are genuine and some not. Cafcass has to be seen to be doing their job properly. The job of the courts is trying to figure out whether the person throwing the accusations is telling the truth or lying. It all depends how good the liars are at convincing a judge. There are some pretty good ones out there.
Rich 14/04/2018 at 2:07 am
I'm being accused of domestic violence still despite going to mediation and the cafcass report saying I was no risk to my son before court. For the record a Cafcass man made this report.

A Cafcass lady on duty at the court today saw fit to change Cafcass's own advice and ordered a section 7 report based on what my ex partner had said at the court today. Make of that what you will, I know where I stand on it.

I'd spent hundreds already at mediation where domestic violence is supposed to be screened out not to mention a hefty court solicitor fee so this is a complete failure in my eyes.

The system is clearly rigged in favour of mothers and ex-partners are getting away with murder against fathers in the family court because of it. This is nothing new I know of course, you only realise when it happens to you. My section 7 report will come back fine and my ex-partner will get a slap on the wrist at best. Tougher stance on false accusations are needed in my eyes.
SeparatedDads Editor 12/03/2018 at 12:52 pm
This is beyond our remit to advise. Your son would need to seek professional legal advice in order to see whether he has grounds to appeal.
Pissed 10/03/2018 at 11:10 am
Ok so my son found the best woman he will ever have. She has a kid with her ex. Guy is garbage used to hit her put a gun on her head when she was holding there son . Ok make story short .

What do you do when the police do not get a statement from a key witness in a DV case.
adam 23/01/2018 at 4:28 pm
I have quite a different story.

I sponsored my ex (NON EU) from another country. She basically used me to get into the country in August 2016. We lived together till 28th August 2016 when I went to Dubai for business purposes and later to Canada for my father's cancer treatment. While I was in Canada her behavior was changed and on 18th September 2016 she left the home and went somewhere unknown to me. I went back to UK in November 2016 and spoke with family lawyer who advised me to cancel her Sponsorship via Home Office (Which I did). Lawyer advised me not to approach her and not ever try to find where she lives as it will be bad for me in long run after she finds out that she is not legal in the country. December 2016 I filed for Divorce in the country where we were married and got the divorce certificate in March 2017.

Since she found out that she is not legal in UK anymore and she can't work, she went to a lawyer who told her to file (Domestic Violence) case which is the only way to stay in the country, while doing that apply for divorce within UK to get financial support from me. She did all this in November 2017. I only received a letter from her law firm which includes (Petition for Divorce). In this petition her lawyer wrote there is a separate investigation going on regarding (DV, Physical and Mental plus Rape).

My question to everyone here, I am not yet contacted by the court regarding the divorce petition as my home address is mention on the petition put forward by the law firm. Since the law firm wrote in the petition that I am an abusive person and another investigation is on going against me. I am never been contacted by the police, I was out of country for many months but no phone calls, no letter at my address or even knock at the door as I asked my cousin who live with me.

Are these lawyers bluffing in the petition? if not, since I have done nothing wrong in my entire time with her if police approch me and interview me. Can I press charges against her later? Because I really don't want her to do it to any other person in future.
Mr Christian 21/01/2018 at 11:46 pm
I was falsely imprisoned for simply wishing to leave an abusive partner who totally fabricated the whole story about me to the authorities. Walk away at the earliest time you can is my advice and make sure you do it secretly when you are away out from them so they don't even expect it-so they can't have a go at you or get verbal or violent as you yourself
longer you stay with an abusive controlling individual. The cycle of abuse will continue to happen time and time again the longer you stay with them. Leave, at the earliest you
can, although this can be difficult for some people-you must convince yourself there is a better life out there
compared to the one you don't want no more. Also you must never go back as this is the only possible way you can have a nice future and peace of mind with yourself in the future. Most of all be-strong, forget the possessions you may have to leave behind, you can replace all those at another time easily. Leave asap is the only positive way forward to change your life for the life you want. A happy one.

The name says it all. Too many ladies make up false allegations to get one over on dad and to get the legal upper hand. You guys need to be smart about all of this. Walk away and say nothing. Defend yourself legally. When that's all sorted out you just need to simply have her beaten. The more beatings she gets, the sooner she will realize that police, courts, and false protection orders really don't protect a person from another person intend on evening the score. You have to ask yourself this.. would you rather have a person respect you or fear you? Remember the last time you lost respect for someone? That's pretty easy to do. Do you remember the last time you stopped being afraid of someone? You never really stop being afraid of someone. That's what needs to be beaten into her head. False reports, false court applications equals a truly false sense of security. Get her beaten at work, have her punched out picking up the kid, get her bounced around a few times when shes out shopping for food. Slash the tires, damage the vehicle. The harder you hit ladies like this the faster they dummy up and the sooner they realize false police reports and protection orders might be fun for mom, but dad always even the score with a good old fashion beating you never see coming, again, and again, and again.

My son has been put through hell. His ex partner whom he comowned a property with has used every trick in the book, Andy because he will not agree to her outrageous demands for a financial settlement in the property of which there is no equity has now claimed domestic violence and abuse against him. He was arrested last week, released after ten hours, with no charges brought. (I should state that she has a personal hotline to the already over stretched police force and they have been called several times, every time, asked a few questions then left). On Friday son was notified that some mail had been put through his mothers door, hand delivered.. (he has been denied access to his home as partner has locked him out, even though she wasn't living there) and only she has access. He received was a non molestation order and an application by her for an Occupation Order with a full hearing on the Monday, two days later! I contacted his solicitor who said he would accompany him to the court. I expected it to be heard and an adjournment so that my son could put a defence together with evidence to refute the ridiculous accusations and lies told him a supposed sworn statement. However, that was not the case. The judge had made up her mind, he didn't even speak and both orders were granted, just like that! How can this be fair?! He is now homeless because her need is greater than his apparently, although she is living elsewhere.

Me & (soon to be) ex wife have been getting on great, I moved out 6weeks ago but regularly visit to help her.
All was good until I fell asleep at our house and she went through my phone finding text from what can only be described as a girl who is just a friend.
She went beserk and while I was sleeping attacked me leaving cuts, bruises and gouging all over me. Waking to this I’ve pushed her off and defended myself.
She then called the police, I was arrested and charged with assaulting her and now on bail pending the court case!
She has no marks on her.
Can’t I get her prosecuted for ABH?

Hello,

I have a daughter with my former wife. She claimed domestic violence, which I did not do, for our divorce. Do I still need to have a mediation in the bid to access my daughter, or apply straight to court? Thanks.

I have recently split with my parter who has 2 children from a previous relationship and we have a daughter together i took my daughter into my care as was concerned for her saftey and contacted social work to make sure that i was within my rights wich i was told i was after a few days my ex contacted police accusing me of domestic abuse police came and removed me from my own home infront of my daughter i was released without charge then social work advised my ex to go to solicitor to get our back into her care then social work started a child protection case against me due to her false allegations during thier investigations i wasnt allowed to see any of my children nor was i being kept inthe loop of what was happening and the social worker was making biased decisions about me saying she knows that i was an evil person without speaking to me and when i raised my concerns i was told i had no right to a solicitor and was denyed the right to have a mail social worker present when being questioned i have tourrettes and no attempt has been madeto accomodate my ilness and no letters letting me know when the protection case meeting was taking place also my ex had several visits from a social worker and was being advised to press charges and other things to help her case of false allegations while i had to contact them for any information wich i didnt recieve And was told i just have to wait untill the investigations wer complete i had to go to thier offices to collect the report wich had so many mistakes with kids names adresses ànd stated that i would be impossible to work with as i denyed any violence when asked so the female social worker had decided i was an abuser before speaking with me when ther has never been any history or reports of violence in my life so i now have to go to a case meeting where the social worker has decided she thinks im an evil and abusive person and would like to know if i have to accept this as i thought we are supposed to be innocent untill proven guilty in this country and do i have to accept thier treatment which i feel is unfair as ther is no evidence to support thier or my ex partners accusations thanks in advance

Not sure if you can help as we are in Scotland and I know the law is different. If you can then I will try to tell you the whole story. I am doing this on behalf of my son who has gone through a horrible time with his ex and basically except for a short period in the middle of a year long battle has not seen his 8 year old son.

@Sab1971 - there is nothing you can do, except to apply back to court for more access to your kids now the allegations have been found to be untrue.
Sab1971 14/10/2017 at 9:10 pm
My ex wife made a whole host of false allegations against me 3 months ago. I was arrested for Controlling and Coercive behaviour under the domestic violence crime.
All af the allegations were false and included such things as controlling her bank account and alcohol abuse.
I had plenty of evidence that the allegations were untrue and that she was only making them to remove me from the house and prevent me from seeing my children.
I am lucky, I heard last night that the CPS are not taking any further action.
What I need to know now is what I can do to prevent her from making further false allegations and smearing my name further. I was the main carer of our children before all of this and now I only see them for a few hours a week.
Whilst I was on bail Cafcas advised during an interim hearing that I should have limited contact due to the allegations made and so now that is obviously no longer relevant.
Also, the police don’t seem interested in doing anything about the false allegations or wasting police time. Do I have to ask them to do this or should it be automatic?
Any advice would be much appreciated - I really don’t want her to get away with this - I have been made homeless and many of my friends have abandoned me as a direct result of what I was being accused of.
Thanks in advance

How do I protect myself and my 2 kids from this because it's geting worse . Caffcus are involved , she called police on us and the checked and saw no concern
OHolt Editor 29/09/2017 at 11:30 am
@Wendy. Cafcass have to listen to the allegations, but they don't have to act upon them. If the allegations were dropped then the court has to take this on board. If the allegations weren't dropped, your son would never have got this far to even be discussing it with Cafcass.
Wendy 28/09/2017 at 6:09 pm
My son was accused of rape , on presentance bail for 18 months , then charged . Spiteful ex didn't want him in his children's lives and spoil new set up with new boyfriend .
Long story short . It went to crown court and he was proven to be not guilty on all 7 counts a just result , faith restored in justice system .
Today we were back at family court and his ex is acting like crown court never happen ! Same allegations and now spouting safeguarding the children , cafcass were with her upholding the same allegations he's been cleared of ! This can't be right or lawful . But their listening to her even after she been proven to be a liar ! Where's the justice for the fathers if it was a woman they'd be shouting equal rights ! But it seems fathers arnt given equality in these matters . It's a disgrace !

Unfortunately, as we are a UK-based website, we only can give advice on the back of UK-family law. However, unless your brother's ex can supply is sufficient evidence, it is very difficult to prove and therefore your brother would be unlikely to be convicted.

My brother is being tried for rape on accusation of his ex wife he indeed not even touch her .. it's a tactic of revenge as she decided to leave him when he was away for work cleaned out the house of brand new furniture his bank accounts of money as he has honesty n has shared all of everything with her! She never worked he provided quite a luxury of life for her . Not she's screaming rape! There is an such eveiendnce even supporting this.. nothing other then making a statement of police report? He is facing a rape charge which consists of a 3 year jail sentence! It has cost him $50.000 Canadian funds.all isn't said n done ... can I get some guidance ?? Please ... I am from Canada ???? any ideas?

I have just taken my ex partner to court to get access to my son which she stopped out of spite she went to a solicitor and said I had been violent towards her during the relationship baring in mind I've never been in trouble with the police and I've got no criminal record. So i was in court today and the court asked me what job i am doing and im currently about to start phase 1 in the British Army as this was said things went downhill, My ex has said I've been violent to her on multiple occasions baring in mind it's bs and there was no police reports filed and she has also said I can see my son only if supervised. Now this became a massive shock to me as shes blocked me out his life for 4 months. Now im expected another court hearing in January and as i was leaving today the court advisers have said the allegations will be going to the police baring in mind theres no proof or anything, I just want to know how this works, will it stop me having a future job roles which im aiming for or will it go down as a criminal offence, I've only just turned 18 and i haven't a clue what going on tbh, Can someone tell me what to do and how this stuff works

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my baby mother,we are not married but we have 2 kids together, she's was an illegal immigrant but I helped her sort out her papers now, I've been paying both her rent and mine,so when I got this 2 bed flat from the housing association I said she can stay with me till she sort herself out not knowing I've invited trouble. Now I have been kicked out of my house for the last 6 months, our case in the magistrates court. I am really frustrated by the system that allowed this lady to take such advantage of me. Pls I need advice on how I can get her out of my flat. I pay the rent and all the bills till date. But the court still allow her to live in my flat toll free. Please help me.

I was served a non-molestation order recently, with a witness statement packed with lies and omissions. I was given the opportunity to challenge it. But due to finances and not really wanting to put friends on the spot, as well as being advised, not to challenge it! I did not!
I didn't challenge the non-molestation simply because when I was home I was being constantly provoked with threats of calling the police, even if I spoke out of turn. So I had to get out for the purpose of safeguarding myself against false accusations.

Now that I haven't challenged the order, I'm not sure if a non-molestation goes on my record. No one seems to know?
As this now inhibits me working in my previous field of work!

Does anybody know?
Oliver 03/09/2017 at 8:34 pm
I would like to know if I can have legal assistance before a situation similar to those described in this post.

it turns out that me ex mate made me a false claim of which she has not made the effect she has intended and I was released from the commissioner without charges or warnings.

she took advantage of my absence while I was at the police station giving a statement to take our daughter and steal all my personal documents and my company apart from computer articles and projects of my work.

we have already attended two appointments in the family court to try to resolve with who should live the child and the time that should be spent with the other parent.

she continues to make the same allegations without meaning and changing history whenever asked the same questions of details of the facts ...

even on the last visit to the family court she has had the nerve to say that I hit her the day I was detained in the police station giving a statement.

I need legal guidance on how to handle this or any solicitor who will take care of this case here or recommendation?

bramwell83 01/09/2017 at 11:02 am
this seems to be happening more and more. There seems to be no ramifications for women inventing these lies to get one over on an ex partner (hell hath no fury) if thats a legal defence. Either way i agree the courts do still favour women but all have improved with the treatment of men also.

One thing that does get me is how as a man your respected to be able to take a slap off a women and its treated as a non emergency but the second a women takes a slap (usually due to retaliation from there actions) it is treated as the man is capable of mass murder.

there needs to be a great reform as the modern consensus seems to be that women use the police as a threat rather than being genuinely victimised and scared. i myself have witnessed the situation first hand, most recently staying in a relationship for nearly 18 months through the fear of being arrested over lies. this in itself i think is a form of control and abuses mentally. there is not enough deterrent to stop women / men (less common) from inventing these lies over emotions and high tempers.
OPP 22/08/2017 at 3:21 am
My wife left home with our three kids (8, 4, 1) with the help and influence of her brother to his house while I was at work. That was on 7 May. Since then I have seen my children. she filed divorce on the ground of domestic verbal abuse and control. My position is that is not true and allegation. I didn't contest petition and we are waiting for decree.
We started negotiations on children through solicitors. First, she said she is only agreeable that I see them at a supervised contact centre as she has worries that I take kids abroad although all kids’ passports are with her. she said I have birth certificates and I may use them to have new passports from the consulate of our original country. I submitted those certificates to my solicitor but she is still refusing contact at my house. I only started talking to them via Skype an hour every week.
I spent £1500 on that to my solicitor to get that “small achievement”, and I am worried I may get nothing if I take the case further to court.
I am very nice dad, and even nice husband. I never committed and violence against my wife and police never intervened. but she is now alleging that I was abusing her verbally. that is only allegations without any proof.
I started paying a £874 pm child maintenance, and still waiting to start exchanging form E for financial settlement.
I want contact with my children whom I haven't seen since more than 4 months. what can do and are the chances?. Thank you for replying.
sandy 17/08/2017 at 1:16 pm
Our son has gone to hell and back, a sytem that absolutely is gender biased. I myself a woman now understands why men walk away from their children. At 70 I have many family and friends there is not one weak woman. We all say the men put their heads down and let us get on with it. The men stand no chance against spitful, manipulate and downright liying women, and the system allows it. No wonder we are a fractured society. We are in the middle of the most stressful time of our life's because of how our sons wife decided to end the marrage and move aother man in, plus her mother permanently here from poland. Not seeing the children has crushed him knowing an 19 is in in house seeing the little girls and he can not because of her lies and plan. Caffcas arranged finally for him to see the children stating we could see them too, we had not been able to see them or our son hardly through out their 8 year marriage. She had agreed with the caffcas advisor to the court then deined it all. The judge finally sees the stupid lies his wife made up saying the 8 year old had said it. What terrible person to blatantly lie to the court blaming her child's reporting. We are not there yet but our son has fought everyone, our MP has been great. Wrote to chief constable, head of CPC and constantly spoke to our local police about false allegations to them and family court. We are sure they all see what has happened but won't look at the evidence to show contradictions and the plan to get him out of their house. Winner takes all. Its time right now to give men the chance to be heard properly and not to be sidelined any more. Not all women, I don't class myself as one, but they are not nice and see now so much unhappiness caused by these women, always its the mens fault. We have come along way from our grandmother's day and have a lot of support, but none for the men, why. Sandy
Adamy 16/08/2017 at 6:53 pm
I read that some people are wondering why SOME women can get away with false allegations, ONE of the reasons behind this is that the legal system has to make money, to keep all the judges, the cops, the solicitors in their well paid jobs. The best person to pay for this lucrative 'business' is the dad, as they have the role of provider. In other words the law is a business, and the TRUTH doesnt matter, what matters is the (false) perception. They look for the possibility that the false concepts in the minds of the people involved in the legal system would be likely to exercise that false belief, to get the dad. We all know quite a lot of WOMEN are likely to exagerate, and have been lashing the dads with abuse for years. The truth is the rich elite abuse women by planting their false ideas of 'controlling' etc. They do this with media TV which acts this out, so these women can be groomed into these false concepts. ( some dads maybe abusive, but whats wrong is the systematic abuse of dads, by the system pretending to be just)

Because of this my ex partner has contacted the police and said I've hat her?? What can I do please help me
Ash1972 31/07/2017 at 7:02 pm
Dear dads I was in court for the 2nd hearing. I represented my self given I have a insight working with in children services. My ex too me to court applying for child custody. My son who is 3 lives with me. I asked her to leave following repeat incidents of Domestic abuse and violence . She assaulted me while my child was sat on my lap.... well I presented police logs including on of common assault and historical chronology of events dating bk to 2013 of significant harm on our son witnessing the impact of Dv. The magistrates dismissed and did not mention any Dv nor did the cafcass report? They both had all the factual info...They granted mum unsupervised contact when I suggested supervised given her abusive nature and for her to attended a dv perpetrator programme and parenting assessment which they dismissed.Is this normal?

Any help or views would be welcomed. Im bk in court on the 5th Sept
SeparatedDads Editor 22/05/2017 at 12:06 pm
All advice is not to breach the non-molestation order and seek legal advice to see if you have any options regarding taking the matter to court for access to your children. I'm afraid you are going to have to be patient and any contact may be minimal at first. You may wish to join our Separated Dads forum to see if other dads have experienced the same or similar and how they have managed to rectify the situation.

I was put in a police cell for 24 hours and then released without charge.I am currently on police bail and I have got to go back to the police station on 29th May the police said they needed to do furhter investegations . I have not been allowed to contact my children or my partner for the last 4 weeks and I am finding it hard to cope with . I have been having alot of arguments with my partner over the past 2 years but I did not expect this. I have now been served with a non-molestation order and occupation order . Is there anyway back from this?
Roles 06/05/2017 at 7:27 pm
I need some advice. In 2015, I told my wife that I no longer wanted to be in a relationship with her as I could not stand her abusive, narcissistic behaviour any longer. However, I remained living in the family house as I was fearful of her negligence towards the children continuing. The next 6 months were an absolute hell as she was basically refusing to respect my parental responsibility and involve me any decision concerning the children. She continually kept squaring up to me in order to provoke me into a reaction but I'm a calm person and always walked away from her. After she tried to stage an incident to provoke a reaction, I contacted a men's help group who told me that I should get evidence through recordings. I asked for a divorce and a formal agreement about the division of the marital assets and shared custody of the children. She chose to not engage in any dialogue about this and did not want to split the assets. On one of the recordings, I discovered that she was conspiring with her family to get me out of the house by alleging domestic violence. After this I purposely ensured that I was never alone with her and continued to try to negotiate by amicable means. She continued to refuse to discuss any of this. After a week away with my children at their grandparents she acted out her plan by falsely alleging that I was abusing her. She drove off and them came back to the house to drag the kids into her car whilst I was putting them to sleep. I refused to let her take them as she was in a totally irrational and erratic state and she called the police. I waited outside the house until the police arrived to ensure I was in a public place. However, the police arrested me as she alleged assault and I spent almost 24 hours in a police cell before being released as there was no evidence of this. On return to the house, she had left the house with the children and refused to tell me where they were. The following day I was served with an ex parte non molestation order and occupation order as she tried to have me removed from the house. At the same time she refused to let me see the child children so I filed a C100 for a child arrangement order. At the hearing for the NMO/OO the court gave me an opportunity to rebut her claims and a final hearing was listed for almost 3 months later. As she knew I was going on holiday she moved back into the house contradicting her story that she was in fear for her life and in grave danger. After I returned she continued to have people in house moving me from my bedroom to having to sleep in my sons room. After a few days I told her that if she was to have friends in the house then they would have to sleep with her and allow me access to the spare room. A few days later she moved her and the children to alternative accommodation where she had to pay rent. She refused to pay for the mortgage as she claimed she now had to pay for the new accommodation. I consulted a solicitor and divulged all the details of th
Broken guy 02/05/2017 at 9:54 pm
Hi all, I was involved in a very heated argument with my wife a couple of weeks ago at home. On the day in question my wife said some really hurtful things in front of my daughter that I took exception too. Long story short, my wife left with our daughter after the argument to go to a friends and the next day she replied to my texts of demanding to know where my child was by asking if I was going to leave the family home, when I refused to leave she went to her dads (who is a very high ranking retired police officer) and a few hours later the police arrived at my house and detained me for questioning of domestic assault! I was taken to the police station where I was arrested and questioned! I gave my truthful account of the argument and admitted to arguing and shouting etc, however, I denied pushing her and striking her on the face! The police then charged me with domestic assault and a domestic breach of the peace. I was remanded to appear in court the next day where I was bailed with special conditions which included not going home and not approaching or contacting my wife and more hurtfully my child who the PF said was a witness! The PF claimed to the court that standard bail conditions were not acceptable as this wasn't the first time!!! However, I'm convinced that my father-in-law has coerced her into making this statement to ensure I was removed from the house. He certainly knows the drill! I have since recovered a message that my wife sent me a couple of months ago that categoricaly states that she knows she always physically attacks me first and that she is wrong to do so and apologieses for doing it! Will this message be of any use to me when I plead not guilty? I am yet to see her exact statement but from knowing her father and how he likes to control things I'm sure it will be along the lines of he assaulted me and I'm scared of my husband etc! I have a very responsible job that will now mean a suspension until this case is concluded, however not being able to go home and be with my child is the worst part. Any thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my now ex wife. My then wife often drank heavily and got physical with me and accused me of having affairs. She previously accused her ex partner of domestic violence. After one episode of arguments over me changing my car and being accused of having a newer car to attract women she cut up the computer leads. Stole my phone and ipad and threw my keys in the fish pond. She disappeared for four days. Many months later I found out she went to her ex partner and stayed with him. When she came back I told her I would divorce her unless she got professional help. 6 months later at a Christmas party she got drunk and in trying to hit me she hit her friend who was at the party. She then said she had proof upstairs I was having an affair with my sister in law. She told me to come upstairs and she would prove it. I was so embarrassed and wanted to take this away from the other guests. I went upstairs and she had no proof obviously as it was untrue. I told her I was divorcing her. As I came down the stairs she came out the room and started hitting me over the head with a clenched fist. This was not the first time she had hit me. I pushed out and caught her on the face. I told her to never lay a hand on me again. She phoned the police. On the phone she told them she hit her friend. They asked if her friend wanted to press charges against her. Her friend refused. I went to leave with my son. She rushed down stairs and tried to grab my phone to stop me calling my mother to pick us up. I got my son and just walked out. Next day I returned and the police were there. They asked me what happened and I said she hit me I hit her and they arrested me. I didnt want police involvement. I found out they had come the night before but she was too drunk to give a statement. At the police station they offered me a caution as I had never been in trouble before. This was an admission of guilt and I refused. I was locked up for 12 hours then informed I was being bailed and could not go home. A joke as if I accepted the caution I could have gone back straight away. This went to court where the lawyers got together and the case was dropped. Two days after this incident I started divorce proceedings but had two years of false allegations against me over several things. Eventually I got a divorce and back in my house. She went back with her ex who she had previously accused of domestic violence

On the 24th of February my wife and I had a misunderstanding, she was screaming and shouting. Since I was about to go to work, I thought it will be good to give my neighbors assurance that we are ok. I called the police to come round as soon as the police came, we were separated for questioning. The officer who was questioning me was very patronising and seemed to be prejudice because I'm of black ethnicity ( incident happened in Scotland). Because of the way he was treating me and accusing me of hitting my wife as well as forcing my wife to press charges, I did ask him why he was being racist.

Before me and my wife knew what was happening, the 2 police officers wished something to each other and then turned to me and said I had to come with them to the police. At the police I was informed there was strong evidence of physical abuse and I was formally arrested and remanded in custody. On Sunday afternoon the officer who arrested me came to see me and he came to see me to tell me he was not a racist.

On a Monday 27th I was released without going to court and no explanation only to receive a letter from the fiscal procurator informing that I was on a prosecution diversion.

My life has been put in a limbo, because the police in Scotland have the right to charge you on domestic violence whether you committed crime or not. How fair is that, 3 days in police for no crime, the only crime committed was to ask police why they were being racist on us.

Any advice please

A member of my family is currently going through the courts with his ex partner in regards to child contact. He and my family have been the main care givers for the children since they were born, their mother has suffered with her mental health and has been in previous relationships where domestic violence has taken place. My family member on the other hand has never experienced either of these. Whilst in a relationship with my family member, mum of the children did not see them Monday- Friday night, by choice. Now the relationship has ended the children's mum is fighting for sole custody of the children. Their father is devastated and worried as his ex has now claimed he was physically abusive to her on various occasions- which he has not been. How do we dispute this and prove her wrong? The court has given the children's mum set contacts per week. It has been noted the children become upset i.e. Crying and repetitive question askin, such as who is pickin them up today.

My ex is generally very good at sticking to the court order, we both are and we don't really speak but have a good communication via text and email if changes in our contact order are needed. This weekend, my ex was late home and told me a few hours before I should return my daughter that someone else was going to collect her. I stated, because I didn't really know this person that well, that I would be happier to keep hold of my daughter until she returned, then I would drive over.

The order is to return my daughter home for 5pm, but doesn't specify anything further than that. I said I was not happy to do that because she wasn't there and my daughter is only 3. It seemed safer and more sensible for her to stay with me until her mother returned.

My ex then called the police, telling them she thought I was going to breach the order. I didn't want their involvement and so was forced to hand my child over to this person without my ex present. I need some clarity on this issue because I had my child's best interests and safety in mind. Anyone else encountered anything similar or have any advice?

Hi my ex wife has had me done with a domestic breach , her and her mum said a was shouting at them and the played it up in court I was charged with it and have been fined £200. I haven't see my kid in 11 weeks and I have a court date to start to try get acces with her . How will this effect me
SeparatedDads Editor 13/03/2017 at 12:45 pm
Yes, it is true regarding your 13-year-old son having a say regarding where he wishes to live. However, and there is a big 'however' here, while a court will listen to your child's opinion it will regardless always make a decision based upon what it thinks is in the best interests of your son. This means it will take your previous responsibilities as a parent as general guidance. If you have been in contempt of court for not paying child maintenance - you may find this will go against you. Therefore, you may wish to seek legal advice regarding this.
baddad 12/03/2017 at 4:36 pm
my kids voted their mum out almost ten years ago so i came back to look after a 13 year old an 11 year old and a 3 year old ,i never received c,s,a, i put in for it when my youngest was 8 my ex then took me to court for shared access to get away with c,s,a.whilst in court i got told off 3 times for being a bad dad ,so now every time the ex and youngest have a confrontation the ex keeps threatening me with court has on the 2nd time in court i was ordered to pay her 30 a month c,s,a,which i havent but she thinks because the way the judge treated me and i never payed she thinks she has ammunition, i have been told that now my son is 13 years of age he can say where and who he chooses to see is upto him,is this true

@Stressworry - sometimes you just have to let things go. If you sign up with Freecycle you might be able to furnish your new home for free. Charity shops old furniture shops and the goodwill of people will help. Ask people where you work if they have any spare pieces of furniture or know anyone else who has. It's awful that you have been thrown out of your house and cruel that she is keeping you away from the items you value - but at least the possessions you have now will be your own and no one can take them away from you. Start your new life a fresh and make sure she is out of it. You deserve better than that kind of treatment. Stuff is just stuff at the end of the day. Good luck. Mari.
Stressworry 02/03/2017 at 11:35 am
My wife and I have separated recently because of her bullying and abusive behaviour she started to let step children do the same I left but have no where to go it's only that I'm working away I have a roof over my head I have just about enuff money saved to get a place but not furnish it. She will not let me have anything from the home , if I go there she calls police but lucky I knew what she was up to and recorded everything , she calls police every time I try to go to my home police come say they can't get involved but they see every time I message tell her I need to get my mail or clothes before hand (she will not let any one have my post or things) but I have found out she trying to get me of tenency on house saying I was removed from house by police which is not true, I left the home because of fear of her making false claims of abuse towards me, police are not interested I called them to come with me to pick up my things I waited 5 hours they never came I went to get the mail myself police were there in 2 minutes after she rang them I explained again showed recording and police again said sorry Notting we can do ! What can I do I just want to have things I worked paid for Notting much but she is holding it all to ransom to use as a tool to keep the abuse going from a distance still, I can't afford emotionally and financially to just write all the things let there off , be gratefully if any one could help Orr give me advice on what I should do,
Regards Brian

Im currently awaiting trail. I have 16 charges for rape and domestic. It started with my last partner and the police did a petition my last partner had my son and with in 3 months of him being born he was taken off her after a sw assessment, which she failed. This all started when she attacked me and vandalised my car to the extent i had to call the police she then got bail and shipped to her fathers and 6 months later im in serious trouble. She has ruined my life and that of all my children 4 in total i havent seen any of them for a lengthy time. My solicitor wont tell me anything i havent even got a court date, i know no details of the charges. I dont know what to do? I havent seen my family or for half a year i cant get a job, and everytime i find somewhere to live i get made to leave. Im just about done as i cant handle the stress of loosing everything.
Sparky 27/02/2017 at 11:33 pm
I was arrested Feb 14 2016 for assualt on my wife I spent 16 hours in custody and was not charged because my wife didn't want to press charges I didn't lay a finger or hand on her later to find out she didn't want me a part of her and kids life anymore !!! Had to move home to my parents house and sell my home I had a shotgun licence had my guns removed from home still fighting to keep my licence something I enjoyed doing but on a happier note I found love and see my daughter now.gents there will better for us now look onward not behind the truth allways prevails but never forget there is a lot true domestic violence out there on both sides which sickens me deep but for innocent people it's horrific to be labled
Richard 27/02/2017 at 11:52 am
Not seeing my children everyday is so painful knowing that they will not get looked after properly, everyday since my little boy started school I have washed his face, brushed his hair made sure he brushed his teeth, polished his shoes and cleaned his little classes before school.
Having to deal with selling the house, moving and finding new business premises, dealing with everything by myself is too much to cope with by my self.

I have thought of suicide, its my birthday tomorrow.. all by my self
Richard 27/02/2017 at 11:31 am
Hi

I totally feel for you, the same is happening to me... accused of mental abuse, also her family have stepped in. Spreading lies on facebook.

This is very saddening for me, I feel very low and worthless ...
MHW 23/02/2017 at 11:04 pm
It's been 7 months my wife has been separated from me. She falsely accused me of assaulting her, got me arrested, I was not found guilty or convicted. She kept on saying she wants her own council home because we shared our home with my old parents who are pensioners. 4 bedroom house, 2 receptions kitchen. It just was me, wife and two kids. I made application for social housing but was rejected immediately because we did not qualify as we all ready had a home. I have forgiven her for what she did... but what she did is not nice. She walked out the house, while I was arrested spent 24 hours in custody, she went to her sisters house in a complete different borough and applied for social housing, was happy to go homeless with my 1 year old daughter and 5 year old son and would not tell me anything. I never got to spend my daughters 1st birthday or my sons 5th birthday. Now she has a house, my understanding is that she cheated the system and lied to get social housing, jumped the waiting list which is not good as there are people out there who really do need a home. She won't let my kids come over, I said fair enough put my name in the tenancy she won't do that either, she wants me to live with her illegally, take full responsibility of the house, pay gas, water, electric, pay her mobile, sky TV, food shopping literally everything, school and education , Health, and on the other not to take my name out of the current home I'm living in, what is she waiting for? Old people to die or what then move back in? She has full control of child benefit, child tax credits and she is claiming income support so she gets her council tax and rent paid, that's also not right falsely claiming benefits. As a result I use to get some working tax credits which use to help me run the house and that has stopped. My children hardly come over she don't let them, in 7 months my son has only visited 3 times and my daughter none. She is about to enrol at college get her fees paid and get childcare maintenance, that's also cheating. She is perverting the course of justice. How can I stop all this criminal activity that she is doing? Who could be giving her these ideas? Her family is also involved, her sisters husband had the cheek to step into my house take her and my kids away, her brother is also involved even he wants me to go and stay with her and look after and yet do all this illegally. I'm not prepared to do this but for the sake of my kids I have to go and sometimes stay there as I can see a change in my sons attitude, he seems lost and psychologically mentally disturbed and all he wants is to come back home, to me, his grandparents and back to his bedroom. So what do I do?
SeparatedDads Editor 22/02/2017 at 12:32 pm
Given your situation, you would really need to seek legal advice. Smashing up your ex's property can definitely be classed as being abusive. Therefore, a solicitor will be needed here in order to be able to explore if you have any options.
Gaz 21/02/2017 at 10:49 pm
Hi, I'm currently facing harassment charge for my ex - a long story short she's constantly accusing me of being violent to which I haven't and never been questioned and or arrested. It's becoming tiring, cafcass report no violence and it shows no police reports despite her stating she's reported it. Would I be able to take this further , deformation of character etc? I'm finding it very stressful and damaging
Danny 21/02/2017 at 6:52 pm
Hi
I'm currently on trial for smashing up property and threatening behaviour at my home recently.
I was having problems with my wife and decided to move out temporarily until we sorted things out!
A week later I came home to find another man there! He had been there over night and as a result I kicked off in a rage.
I somehow managed not to attack him or my wife but did a lot of damage to his car and the home.

My wife is currently seeking advice from women's aid and claiming that I'm abusive??
She is stopping me from spending time with our daughter and I fear she will go further and make false accusations!

As I'm guilty of a number of crimes on that occasion and may be in a bit of trouble I can't fight my own corner and she can over elaborate on everything?
I really need some good advice as she has all the cards.

She also denies me access to see my daughter if I don't pay her an obscene amount of money,
(Over £1000 per month) as she doesn't work and I work 6 days a week!

Any help would be much appreciated!
SeparatedDads Editor 10/02/2017 at 12:59 pm
You can see the full details of how your partner's ex has been able to obtain Legal Aid, via whichI'm afraid I cannot predict how his ex may have obtained Legal Aid as it would be pure supposition. However, if your partner feels his ex is claiming legal Aid fraudulently, which tell you how he can report this.
m 09/02/2017 at 12:25 pm
Hi

I am looking for advice on behalf of my partner. He currently has an informal agreement for shared residence/care of his daughter. This has been in place since he separated with his ex nearly 5 years ago. His ex has not been happy with the arrangement for a number of years and has been trying to reduce his time to something more like a contact arrangement, with him seeing his daughter every other weekend, one weekend in three etc. My partner has rejected these proposals as he is keen to continue with the shared residence/ care arrangement that is already in place. His ex has tried various ways of getting her way. She has withheld their daughter at agreed handover times, attempted to pick her up from school on his days, tried to dictate how he spends his time with his daughter (threatening not to honour handover arrangements if he does not comply). She has also tried to erode his relationship with his daughter (saying unpleasant things about him to his daughter and undermining and criticising him in front of her). She has also attempted to control or undermine their daughter's relationship with other friends or relations connected to him.

Recently she got a solicitor to contact him about the childcare arrangements, again requesting that he reduces his time with his daughter. Through negotiations with the solicitor it came to light that his ex partner is receiving legal aid for this matter. We have looked this up and can only find that you can get this if there has been domestic violence or if there is a threat to the child. There has be no domestic violence, and no accusations to our knowledge. To receive legal aid she must have got someone to write a statement. It says police or health professional. She has problems so has had contact with social services about her own issues. Is it possible that she could have got a health professional to write a statement without my partners knowledge? Is there any way that my partner can get information about this and challenge what is documented if necessary? Is there any other reason why someone might be able to get legal aid for a family dispute?
SeparatedDads Editor 06/02/2017 at 2:13 pm
I'm afraid we cannot answer this as much depends upon whether you have had any previous DV convictions, the extent of the harm. However, if the DV was a mark and no more injuries, and you have not had any previous convictions it is highly unlikely you would be given a prison sentence.
Stevie 04/02/2017 at 8:56 pm
Hi just asking if anyone knows if I could get sentenced as to my ex girlfriend has had me arrested for domestic violence she said I had grabbed her wrist and pulled her i did do that and I have made a mark on her wrist. Is this evidence that I could get sentenced? The police have taken pictures of her wrist aswell, what's the outcome of this??

Please someone help....my partner of 13 years living with for past 7. rang police on me on Sunday night because I wouldn't give her MY phone. police arrived and because had few drinks they drove me car and took me to hotel to prevent anything that might happen but no charges or allegations..On Monday had an incline as her mother always gets involved as we rent from her. I turned up which I found she was trying to change locks with my 2 young children there my partner was at work. I got in house and rang police..they came and asked her to leave. my partner then turned up furious along with her mother..they phoned police saying was disgrace I was allowed to stay with my past. (8 years ago there was domestic violence)..police again said id done nothing wrong and if she wanted to leave to her mums she should. My partner then wouldn't return calls for 2 days or let me see kids she disappeared. Then out of blue last night a court official turned up issuing me with a non molestation order and a housing order for me to leave in 24 hours!!! im not allowed to go within 100 yards of her house work kids..anything!! i was staggered that a judge took her and her mums words that my past 8 years ago was enough to sanction this by them saying they were scared of me. A hearing has been set for next Wednesday but I am currently homeless with no money as I gave her the the majority of money for rent and bills at start of month. To make things even more weird..i was last year involved in stopping my ex wife adopt my child from a previous marriage..with my current partner and mother giving me a glowing review in court to how I have changed and what a great dad I am. How can they say one thing six months ago in writing to a court then all of a sudden get this order bringing up my past!!! please someone help..i haven't seen my kids for 4 days now and cant even speak to them..im devastated

Please can someone help me out. My ex partner rang the police to say i attacked her, social services is now invloved and told her im not allowed near my daughter. She went to the poilce told them she over reacted and dropped charges an now i dont have to go to court or nothing. Once the soical workers be informed that she made it up what can happend? Will they close the case or what??
KCSunshine Editor 09/01/2017 at 11:10 am
@Distraught dad - the first thing I'd do is make her your ex partner asap! The CPS will make up its own mind about whether it wants to prosecute you, so if your ex threw the bottle at you, you have to tell the truth. It won't pay you to protect her. Next time you may not be so fortunate to escape her allegations, so I'd get out of the relationship as fast as you can! KC.
Distraught dad 07/01/2017 at 5:27 pm
Hi

My current partner has called the police on me twice before and had me arrested for assualt where in fact it was her that has assaulted me and then freaked out and called police. Both times the charges were dropped; the first time there was simply nothing to back up her nonsense and the second time she had claimed being attacked and having her phone smashed in a hotel and luckily cctv showed that I had not assaulted her as she claimed although I had picked up her phone and thrown it for which I got a caution for criminal damage.

Now we have had a third time on a night out where she has called the police after throwing things at me in a hotel room and attaching me. She assaulted me but then called the police on me. I am now on bail and she has withdrawn the charges but I'm concerned that this time things will go further when I go in for interview. When the police met her she claims that she had a swollen lip (I'm not sure how she would have this and I have not seen evidence of it myself) and that the policeman noted this but did not take pictures. Apparently the police also took pictures of a smashed bottle in the hotel room which she alleged I threw at her (but in fact she threw at me!). I am now totally lost at what to do as do not want to start getting her in trouble and starting a battle that will make things worse by telling police about her assaulting me but at the same time I'm concerned that this will be seen as enough "evidence" to take me to court which I desperately want to avoid. Any advice?
frustrated john 06/01/2017 at 6:39 pm
i have read through some of these stories and i do feel for those people wrongly convicted, the courts are so frightened of getting it wrong they are making the decision to do what they thinks best, not justice, my daughter attacked me clawed my face, i pushed my wife to one side to protect her from getting injured, my daughter was standing behind her at the time, i manage to restraint my daughter and took her to the floor were i held her for no longer than10 seconds, to prevent her continuing the attack, once she had stopped trying to get away from me to continue the attack i let her go, my daughter and my wife made allegations against me that i attacked them two, my daughter produced pictures of her injuries that was taken by her mobile phone, no medical evidence to support this, the pictures show no marks of any kind, she also has pictures of her head showing a small bald patch half the size of your small fingernail she states this his were i pulled her hair out , my daughter has had hair extensions and had them removed two months prior to this incident, my wife said i grabbed her by the throat and pushed her to one side , no injuries or marks on wife reported, i went to magistrate court and even though it was shown in court my daughter was the aggressor i was found guilty on both charges of assault by beatings, and used excess force when restraining my daughter, and assault on my wife by pushing her and how they can determine excess force when i held my daughter for 10 seconds beggars belief. what deeply concerns me my daughter was allowed to photograph her own injuries and not in presence of a police officer and hand them into to the police station some 10 days after the incident, is this normal police practice now ? should at the time of the allegations were made the police should of taken her to the police station to seek medical verification and photographed at the police station ?? the pictures are of such bad quality and show a knee, and a leg and her head, the pictures does not show any injury and cant be verified they are in fact pictures of my daughter!! ..
so what did the magistrates find me guilty of.???? i had the only picture of my facial injury that was clear to see , when this was shown to the magistrates they gasped and commented my god, And ladies and gentleman is what convicted me, by the photographs that was seen in court the magistrates knew there had been a conflict between myself and my daughter who is 22yrs old they took less than 5 minutes to deliberate the evidence to find me guilty . i have no history of violence what so ever the police have never attended my house for any previous incident, i had been with my wife for 36yrs , i have now lost everything they put injunctions on me and could not go to my house or even in the road, this has been over a year now the house has been sold and is now going back to crown court.

RoJo 04/01/2017 at 3:28 pm
Please can someone assist? I have just been accused of domestic abuse by my ex partner, this happened at a court hearing for which I applied for an enforcement of a contact order to see my children. I was the one who made the application and I believe I was following the correct procedures as I have not had my regular ordered contact for quite some time. I provided chronological diary of events spanning the years of none-contact, then this allegation just come out of the blue in the Cafcass paperwork. When I attended court I discovered that my ex has made allegations of historical domestic abuse (this is the first time this allegation has ever been made and we have been to court on several occasions) and the court seemed to believe her claims despite the fact that she produced no evidence what-so-ever. I provided reams of aggressive and malicious communications from her, but it seems his evidence has not even been considered and the fact that she has blatantly abused a court order has been completely over-looked.

I have come away from this feeling extremely upset, confused and frustrated that I am being portrayed in this way and all I want is to see my kids. Is this just a procedure the court have to follow or will they just believe her without no evidence against me? Another hearing will take place next month, will I get a chance to have my say eventually? This seems incredibly unfair. Thank you!
SeparatedDads Editor 07/12/2016 at 11:33 am
Non-molestation orders aim to protect the victims of domestic violence from being abused, and are implemented in order to stop the abuser from being violent towards the victims, in either a physical, threatening and intimidating way. It is a criminal offence to breach non-molestation order and jail sentences can be imposed in court (short sentences in a family court, longer in criminal). However, the court is there to try to seek the truth and if your husband's ex has been lying, and has contradicted her statements this hopefully will be exposed. However, it is impossible to predict what a court may decide.
samantha321 06/12/2016 at 5:13 pm
Hi there my husband I are really looking for some advice. My husband has 3kids with his ex partner, his ex made it hard for him to see the kids up until a yr ago when she got in touch. We learnt husbands kids were taken in care due to his ex physically and mentally abusing them, my husband applied for parental rights to be involved in the hearing. His ex put a false non molestation charge against him. My husband had to attend a 5dsy parentsl course in his exs and kids home town. We were worried his ex may make further false allegations which will result in him being arrested as the crntre he was doing his assessment in was a 5minutes walk from her house as we were told by his kids.. She did exactly that. a week later as my husband attented court on a 3day fact finding case on his ex and kids, he was arrested and charged with braking the molestation order as he admitted to walking on the main road to get to the family centre where his ex saw him as she drove past. He was distraught, the judge in the court was the one who pushed for his release and was angry at him being arrested whilst needed in court. His ex changed her statement 3times, the family judge does not believe her as she has lied all through the case.. First She stated he had walked past her whilst she was in a car and made a gesture as to slit her throat , then she said it was outside her home and now she claims she has a witness with her as they drove past him. I am really worried as she has a witness who hasnt signed her statement or turn up to court but now he has a new court date which the witness has said will attend. Sll he wanted was the best for his kids his ex will do anything for him to not get his kids. Im so worried what will happne to my husband she has put him through hell, now he will be going to court to prove his innocence, what i dont understand is if there is a false wittness could he go to jail? He will lose his job we have a morgage, i cant sleep at night thinking of what will happen. The social workers were told when he saw her as he walked past and was scared she might make a false statement. He was asured everything will
Be ok. what do we do from here? Please help us
SeparatedDads Editor 29/11/2016 at 10:46 am
We cannot recommend a specific solicitor, neither can we recommend what you can do in this situation because of the police investigation. A family law solicitor will be able to advise you further and help you to explore your best options.

Hi I dont know if anyone can actually help I split about a month ago from my ex that was getting treated for depression anxiety and having councilling by minds matter. I did everything I could to make sure things was looked after and she didnt have to stress I even left the jobs I had because she wanted me too left my dauvhter my family and looked after her two kids full time and try to help her get better.

Hi

I've recently split from my ex partner of 3 years. We have a son together who is 6 months soon to be 7 months old. During our relationship she would often lash out during one of her rages and would often attack me causing damage to my clothing aswell as other personal items.
I called the police on her 3 times when I'd had enough of the mental,emotional & physical abuse she would often direct at me. She was arrested and realeased without charge when she attacked her daughters dad causing bruising to his face. I was actually present in the front room occupying her daughter when this incident occurred.
Since we have split she has become nasty and abusive at times and has falsely accused me of physical abuse which isn't true. Since my son has been born she has attacked me twice both times being in front of him. The most recent being only last week where she slammed the front door into my shoulder catching my chin then when I asked her to stop so I could kiss my son goodbye she grabbed me by my shirt and tried to drag me towards her. All of this occurred in front of my baby son.
Never in the 3 years have I ever laid a hand on her. The only time I would touch her would be to protect myself and all I did was keep her at arms length to avoid her bruising or cutting my face.
She is obviously known to the police for her attack on her daughters dad aswell as the attacks on me. They have visited her home on a few occasions because of her outrageous behaviour.
I'm not for once minute trying to make out like I am innocent in all of this. I probably irritated her with some bad habits I.e leaving a cup on the side or not putting my dirty washing in the basket but never have I ever been physical towards her in any way.
I'm concerned that she is slandering me and my name and I'm worried that as the system tends to favour mothers/women that I will be unfairly treated. All I've tried to do is see my son who is my absolute world and my entire reason I wake up every morning but she's now telling me I'm not to make contact until she's been to see family justice centre.
On researching what the family justice centre is it appears is a place for people to go who suffer from domestic violence. So I'm concerned she's going to accuse me of abusing her which is completely fabricated and false.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!.

I was falsely accused of domestic violence and then the police were called thank god I actually called them on the day of the so called offence and begged them to attend my home...the investigating officer believed me not because I was male but due to the evidence and his experience..i only wish they investigated her mobile use which would have shown she called me numerous times from hospital demanding money...any way caffcass and social services are racists and biasist to men...especially if you are coloured and married to foreigner coming from nepal into this country.

My story is about my step-mother physically and emotionally abusing me, my dad and my very young sister and then twisting the story around to make herself the victim. When me and my sister got home from school, my sister asked our step-mother for food but our step-mother twisted her finger very badly, causing it to swell and become immobile. When my dad asked her why she had gone this, she pushed my dad, who was standing by the stairs causing him to skip a step and fall down the stairs on his back. He went to the hospital and we went with him. When me and my dad and sister got back from the hospital, we heard our step-mother filed a complaint against our dad, saying he was the one who abused us. We told everything to the ACS worker and police but they don't do anything or listen. What can I do? We have statements and medical proof from the hospital as well.

I'm afraid we cannot advise if you are not resident in the UK. However, with regards to most domestic violence accusations, in the UK the CPS decides whether it is in the public interest to prosecute regardless of whether you try to withdraw your statement. Please see the reasons why whichPlease keep in mind each country's policies will differ. If you can get some free legal advice, this may help you make a decision regarding your best course of action.

For the past year, my boyfriend and I have been struggling deeply with finance, immigration, homelessness, living out of a car. I have been trying so hard to keep up with my school, while working to support the both of us while paying off his debts and hospitable bills. We have been in a very high stress situation, but we still continue to support and love each other. We've made the most of these hard times, but our fights could be explosive. Around a week ago we got into a big fight and he said some awful things and walked out and I really thought things were over. I should have known he hadn't meant and been more patient.

I was just shocked and hurt, so I called my friend to help me pick up my things. He came back confused, wondering why I was leaving. (Although he had been saying things like he would rather struggle alone, and now knew we weren't meant for each other.) At the time I just needed to get out and breathe, but he wanted to talk things through. As my friend was brining some of my bags to her car, he locked her out so we could talk. Upset, my friend phoned the police.

When the police arrived, they talked to us in two separate rooms. The officer noticed severe bruising on my arm and began questioning me about it. I was hesitant to answer and embarrassed to say I had been mugged earlier that week. The officer went on to explain about her past unhealthy relationships and encouraged me to let her handle my boyfriend. I was so overwhelmed and just generally afraid I agreed and they took him in. They wanted me to make a statement and I was so afraid of my mistake I built on the lie, and they issued a no contact form between my boyfriend and I.

I had no idea what would happen next, but I went to the police station the next day and requested the charges be dropped. But they said it was no longer in their hands, but in the Crowns. I didn't think I would ever hear from my boyfriend again. But around 4 days later he phoned me from a jail. We were equally grateful to hear each others voice, and to my greatest surprise, he wasn't mad at me. He understood that what we've gone through in one year is enough stress to be handled in 5 years. He said I needed to plead false accusation on his court date on November.9, which is no problem for me. His bail is $750 and I have been trying so hard to get that money, but things aren't looking hopeful, and I doubt I will be able to make the $750. If I plea that I falsely accused him, will any charges still be laid upon him? Neither of us have a lawyer, and I have no idea how the system works. Should I go to the police station now and admit to them? Or wait until the court date?

I absolutely understand the severity of what I've done and I am so heavy with guilt. This was never an intention of revenge, I never expected a situation like this to happen with us. Neither of us have a criminal record or have been in trouble with the law before. I don't care really if I'm fined, but I don't w

This is a tricky question to answer as I'm not sure what advice you want. Do you wish to inform the authorities that he is making an application under false pretences? If so then please see the gov.uk whichYou don't say whether you have been, or are being charged for assault, but if you are and can defend the reason, then you would need to seek legal advice.
SeparatedDads Editor 24/10/2016 at 1:46 pm
Your son will not get his child's mother into trouble if he seeks legal advice. Your son needs to be able to explore his options, therefore if he has a family law solicitor as a friend, it will not do any harm to seek advice regarding this issue.

Good morning, I hope someone can help me. I have been married to a Jamaican man for 3 years, he is here in the UK and has been for 2 and a half years. I found out he had been cheating on me numerous times and I separated from him. I refused to get his spouse visa extended once I found out about his cheating. His spouse visa is due to expire this week and in September he had me arrested for assault. I have now found out that this was so he could apply for an indefinite leave to remain in the UK using the domestic violence route. I don't know where to go or who to turn to for advice. Please help.

Hi
Just looking for a little advice, my sons partner left a few weeks ago and took the two children, the youngest of which is my sons, she went to council and told them she was in a volatile relationship and couldn't return to the family home. She was immediately placed into a safe house. She is in contact with my son, she even stayed a few nights last week and dropped their daughter off with him on Friday for the night. (She also tried to drop her 7 year old son off with him who he loves dearly but refused as he says he will not be used as a babysitter. She sent me a message saying she wasn't in a safe house as she would never say my son is violent when he isn't. My son also put his video recorder on whilst she was at his house and he asked her questions which the answers are recorded saying no he has never committed domestic violence against her and admitting she has sold him she is a safe house. Seems she has done this due to a breakdown in the relationship (she has had bad post natal depression and has been given medication from doc ) and she thinks if she does it this way she will be given housing from the council quickly . As a past victim of domestic violence I feel she is making a mockery of the people who are helping her . I've advices him to have a chat with a friend who is a solicitor he doesn't want to get her in trouble but also doesn't and shouldn't have this reputation she is handing him .
Enigma 21/10/2016 at 10:12 pm
The comments, advice and implications written by Lorna are all absolutely correct. To bring this to life and share some further alarming and distressing results of false accusations the impact and consequences are worth adding here.

My ex-wife was suffering from a long term illness and associated mental health implications. She made a false allegations of assault after a petty argument over our car. I was completely unaware 999 was called and was arrested at home in front of my children and neighbours. From this moment my life completely changed. The police obviously took the side of my wife, which is understandable as she called 999. What they didn't do and refused to do was investigate in any way, even after my interview when it was very clear of the circumstances. They never once looked into the facts and certainly never assisted and checked on her state of mind and also my circumstances. Instead they charged me and put me under strict bail conditions to not go to my own home or even the road until the court date. I had to leave my job and move away from my home town and begin to understand overnight I had lost connecting with my children who I had seen every day of their lives for 14 years.

Here's the best bit. Part of the bail conditions was no direct or indirect contact with my ex-wife. She continued making contact with me on one of my children's phones. Every time I heard her voice i hung up and phoned the non emergency number to report this to cover myself. I even asked for call backs from the arresting officer. After a week he called me and asked me to attend the station immediately. He never once mentioned bringing my brief but sensibly I organised a time to attend and for my brief to be there. As soon as I arrived I was arrested for breach of bail! I was held over night to appear in court the next day to answer this charge. It was thrown out and an apology from the judge over it over the incompetence of the police.

A month later I appeared in court for the original assault by beating charge and the police made my 14 year old daughter give evidence against me because she was in the house and heard raised voices (minor argument over the car). I was found not guilty thankfully.

But this is the impact. For some unknown reason the CPS lawyer pushed for a restraining order even though it was all fabricated. At the time I was just relieved to be found not guilty but it was granted for 2 years. This has completely ruined my relationship with my Children. The oldest, who was forced to give evidence I have now not seen for a year.

Here's some home truths that you should be prepared for and advice from my experience:

Don't trust the police to do anything for you. All they want to do is put you in front of the judge who can make a decision. They can't and don't care that about ruining your life in any way. They wil take the least path of resistance to get you in front of the judge or not if the CPS chose. No
SeparatedDads Editor 10/10/2016 at 2:35 pm
Much depends upon the extent of the domestic violence he has been accused of, and what the courts decides. It is impossible to predict, but please see CPS link here for further advice on the trial proceedings.

Hello my life has been a shambles. I don't know what I have done all I know it involves my old line manager, my wife, some kind of day service. One Sunday my mum had a diabetic hypo so I drove up there. So on the way before I left to check my mum was ok my wife threatened me with things I didn't do. I didn't act on those threats because they weren't true. I was too tired to drive home, so I stayed the night even though she wanted to go home I was just too tired to drive safely so I said I can't drive but if you got your bus pass you can go home that way might I just add she was passive and quite aggressive. She woke me a full 30 minutes before my wake up time. So I got dressed in the morning to head in to work. A couple of meetings I had that day. My line manager calls me. "Did your mother hit you?" Yes I said only jokingly though. She calls again I would like to meet up with you after the lunch meeting my ex wife calling constantly during my lunch break. So I answered She said "I am going to break every window in your car" so I said that's criminal damage and said ok and where my car was parked. Then she said she wanted her tablets from the car. I contemplated suicide for 2 hours. Then headed in to the office to see my line manager at the time. Hello she said you don't have any recording equipment on you I replied no. So your wifes left you after what you done and the police have are coming. So you can't go back to your house my wife came back stole my suitcase which I brought from my holiday in Florida a couple of months prior to all that. It was like I was getting thrown out for nothing. Take in mind that most of the workforce including my line manager was feminist. It sounds awful but I believe in equality I said the way it was and still I wasn't listened to. I have been asking what have I done for 6 months to work and getting horrible messeges and death threats on social media from her and her now boyfriend and because I published it on social media I got a written warning from my new line manager.
Bertie 24/09/2016 at 2:36 am
Hi, I'm after some guidance if possible, I'm not a dad but a 2nd mum, I have been married to my female partner for almost 11 years and we had 2 children using a donor, I have PR for both children, several weeks ago my wife came home and told me our marriage was over, there was no signs, no arguments, no nothing just over because she doesn't want this anymore (if that's even a valid reason) anyway my first issue is the house, it's a council property solely in my name from before we met as I also have another 2 children, can I be forced out with the 2 older children? Secondly and most seriously I have strong reason to believe that she is trying to build a case of DV against me so various charities will help with housing her, and stopping me seeing my babies, it's come to light that she has spent months, blackening my name to work colleagues and making me out to be a monster, making it look like I have abused her, never once has there been any violence, I've never even raised my voice to her and even now wouldn't harm a hair on her head, I've always been the kids primary carer and worked around them so she could continue progressing through her job.
Probably really stupidly a domestic violence charity has rung home for her a couple of times now, so I am now terrified I'm going to get arrested for something that's not happened, we still live together and at home the atmosphere is fine or so I think but she goes out each evening for an hour or so, again I think to make it look like she is scared to be around me or something.
How the hell can I protect myself, these are all complete 100% lies.

The minute a women makes a false accusation against you your doomed. it's a battle you can't win and no help is available. I'm in court soon facing harrassment charges from my ex wife. This Friday just gone was the 9th yes i ain't kidding the 9th time she has had me arrested in nearly 2 years. basically to cut a long story short we was married and have 3 kids together. she met her new partner while we was still together. Broke up with me and dived straight into this new relationship. ever since they began she has wanted me well away from her and what was our home. that's when the false accusations first started. She lied to the police saying id hit her and got an injunction against me so I couldn't get near the house. She would still contact me and I would her regarding kids arrangements. the minute I said something she didn't like she would ring the police and I'd be arrested again. at this point I'd learned that any contact with her could be used against me as a weapon so I stopped giving her ammunition. she was still contacting me as she wanted me to have our kids all the time so she could be with her new man which I didn't mind to a degree but she was going to far and never seemed to spend time with them. I had our kids Friday and went into town Saturday one weekend and bumped into her in the pub. I confronted her wanting to no who had our kids and was told to F off. I rang around and was unable to find out. Later that night I was arrested. She had claimed I'd pulled her hair and slapped her which I was shocked yet quite pleased about as the pub had cctv the police could look at it and see for themselves and see what had been going off. I repeated myself in my interview begging them to look at the cctv and see her for what she was. a month later I had to make bail and was told no further action was being taken against me. which I already new wouldn't as I hadn't done nothing wrong but they had not even bothered to go look at the cctv. next we had an officer make us both sign paperwork saying we wouldn't contact each other but when she had contacted me first about our kids and I replied she then rang the police to have me arrested again. Each time the police arnt bothered about what I'm saying and trying to tell them. The minute they can't charge me they don't care and we move on. this latest time I was arrested because my ex had messaged me off my daughters phone pretending to be her which I new was happening and responded to her trying to make her see how it was upsetting our daughter and how I new it was her and what she was doing. That's when I was arrested again. I am now in court soon for harrassment. She contacts me pretending to be our daughter and because I respond I'm in court. It's a Pathetic system that's being played and we can't do anything about it. Iv got all proof of everything from the start of this showing without a doubt what's happening but they ain't bothered and Iv given up coz Iv come to realise

Lying about domestic violence to get advantages in divorce, family matters and housing is perverting the course of justice. The only problem is most police forces in the UK refuse to investigate the false allegations of domestic violence saying it is the responsibility of the family court to deal with the allwgatipns yet they are more than happy to investigate the original allegations of domestic violence

I can only suggest your friend seeks professional legal advice regarding this, especially if the matter has been transferred to Crown Court.
Best friend 17/08/2016 at 6:31 am
My friend was recently arrested in front of his five year old daughter for what I can only describe as an argument gone wrong.
His wife got drunk and started shouting in his face, she slapped him across his cheek so to create space between them he pushed her away with a shove. However, she fell back and landed on her elbow resulting in a fracture.
She didn't report this at the hospital or later to the police. It was another woman who had heard the woman shouting who called the police and my friend was arrested and charged with assault without intent and is due to appear in Crown Court.
Since then, she has been in contact with victim support, changed the locks on the house and refuses to let him see his daughter.
This isn't right. He is more than happy to see her supervised or in a contact centre but to deny him his pride and joy is cruel.
Where should he seek advice?
Mr G 13/08/2016 at 11:31 pm
Part 2 - continuation of my story!

Later that day I called her & asked if she got the laptop she said, "yes" & that was the last time she answered my calls despite ringing her everyday since. I haven't seen my children for two months now.

She is telling everybody & anybody lies about me & playing the domestic violence card for her own personal gains because she knows if she told the truth she wouldn't get as much help as she is getting & in truth i'm the victim here.

Social services who I had thought should be impartial have taken everything she says as gospel, they said, my partner has said this, my partner has said that.... And I said, "well, have you actually asked me?" And they said, no because I didn't want to discuss that Sunday afternoon incident when they came to the house the first time 2 days after I was arrested. Then they said the reason the police dropped the case was because my partner refused to give a statement but that's untrue because when the police interviewed me they kept quoting her statement. And when I said that my children were perfectly happy, they said everybody (meaning the parents) always say that. Totally biased against me before they had even spoke to me!

Now I am facing being evicted because my partner has told my housing association landlord that she wants to end her joint tenancy & their rules mean that if one wants out both must leave & she has cited "domestic violence/abuse" as her reason & they don't tolerate that, meaning they won't let me stay in any of their properties. If I become homeless I will also lose my job.

When I met her she had no kids & about to lose her student visa status due to not passing her exams. I paid for some of her college fees, then immigration lawyer fees, enabled her to have two wonderful children (her life) & enabled her to live rent free for 5 years, something she could only have dreamed of before she met me.
Mr G 13/08/2016 at 11:22 pm
I had being living with my partner in a civil relationship for 5 years & we have two children under 5 together. Our relationship had been strained falling apart for the past 2 years not helped by the fact she got rid of our children's bunk bed & had the eldest child sleep in our bed & then about a year ago the youngest started sleeping there too making no room for me, I instead slept on the sofa.

Every evening when the children were asleep in our bed instead of cuddling up on the sofa or talk I would just sit on the sofa & watch TV & she would sit at the table on the internet & we'd hardly speak except when she would moan at me. I'm easy going chap & don't really have arguments so I just sat there & said "OK" whenever she was in moaning mode. Sadly & certainly with hindsight I made a big error of letting this situation get worse & worse.

So one Sunday afternoon about 4 months ago the kids were asleep & she suddenly went off on one, "get out, I don't want you anymore, go to your dads" etc... I started getting angry & upset but she kept on, instead of me just going for a walk I instead got in her face & shouted (for the first time ever) "no, this is my home we are a family, I'm not going anywhere, this is my home!" She then pushes me down the hall & out of the front door, I had no shoes, no coat, no money & no keys. A few minutes later she let me back in, I just laid on the edge of our bed with my hands over my eyes until she went to work 2 hours later.

Next couple of days things seemed OK then on the 3rd day I came home from work to find the police there to arrest me charging me with assault, at the end of the day the police said there was no case to answer and said my partner says it was OK for me to go back to her, so they drove me home. I told her I want us to be a family.

The next two months things were the same, us not talking much, her moaning & me just keeping my head down & staying calm, no arguments, no losing my temper again.

Then about mid June she says she's going to visit friends in London (about 30 miles away), she had done this a few times before so I thought nothing of it.

Now, even though the charges were dropped the police have to tell social services because we have children, OK that's fair enough even though I know for a fact that my children are 100% happy. So two days after my partner went to London two social services people visited me, "as you know your partner has left you" one said, well I was gobsmacked!!! "No I didn't know that" I replied. Their reason for being there was to pick some stuff for my partner & the kids. I collected up some stuff for them to take.

I speak to my partner on the phone, she says, "I want my papers & documents in the drawers..." and my (that's mine not hers) fairly new top of the range £700 laptop. I did as she said & took them to the social services office in town.

Later that day I called her & asked if she got the laptop she said, "yes" & that was the last tim
Ade 13/08/2016 at 8:41 pm
Hi Ash, I have been in a similar situation very recently. Firstly, regarding the housing issue you should speak to a housing solicitor immediately. My ex occupied my property for 4 months while I continued to pay all of the bills. I had to evict her through the courts (it will cost some money up front but i managed to claim several thousand pounds in what is called a violent profit claim post eviction). Secondly, the police will never do anything about false DV allegations. They do not want to be seen to discourage victims. It is very wrong but this is the reality. Have you actually been charged with anything? If you are charged you need a criminal solicitor and in the meantime stay calm and don't do anything that will make the situation worse. If you are patient and do everything through legal means, you will get things turned round.

we are married since 6 years. have a 11 months baby who is separated from me since 9 months - desperate to be with him - father is kept away from parenting...

my wife entered property and have changed locks to avoid me in... i took police help - they came with me to the property... but my wife slapped DV allegation and mentioned about some rape happened 2 years ago which she does not want to make statement ..and not go to court... the police which i called for help arrested me and took with them...

they have cleared false domestic violence allegation after interview and few hours of custody off me

but do not know why officers are on the case to investigate the rape mentioned.
I am out on conditional bail - do not have access to my house and my 11 months old child again...

Just not understand why officers are investigating a case which is not reported? am i a criminal in the making...

Current situation is i am jobless and out of my own house. cannot stay at friends place for long... i do not have any other place to go... rather why should i go to some other place when i have a property i am solely responsible for and am paying mortgage & bills of my savings while my wife has a job and earning...

Any pointers please... what should i do next?

Secondly, is there anyhow i should or can counter allegate her down for the false dv allegation...

Hope to hear some advice soon. thanking you in advance.

Any pointers will be helpful...

Hi,

I have been falsely accused of domestic violence twice. Last year around January was the first time i was accused of violence by my wife and i was subsequently arrested and spent a night in police custody, however no evidence was found and was released the following day without charge.

The second time i was accused was in April 2016. My wife had again falsely accused me of attacking her. She claimed i had 'picked her up by the throat and' 'gorged her eyes' amongst other lies. This alleged assault according to my wife had apparently happend in the beginning of May but my she waited about 5weeks to report it. I was eventually called in by Police to attend the police station as an 'volunteer attendee' for a interview a further 4 weeks or so later. In other words from the alleged date of attack to me being interviewed a period of 9 weeks had passed approximately. The officer confirmed i did not have to attend and would not be arrested. I inquired to the officer who had interviewed why it took so long to contact me for a interview, to which she simply answered she does not believe it really happened but they had to follow their procedure. Only a few days later after the interview i had a call from the officer informing me there will be no charges bought against me.

My wife has been reporting these incidents as a mean of stopping me from seeing my childrens and to get a council property. If i had attacked my wife she could have reported me straight away and stopped my access to her property immediately. It would also make sense that our relationship would have suffered extremely if this really happened, however I have evidence to prove our relationship was good during this period. It is also worth noting her flat consist of a safety door which only she can buzz me through, cctv and then her own front door, therefore she could have easily denied me access. I have evidence to prove i was given access throughout this period. I have never been violent towards her and i find violence against women completely abhorrent.

She out of the blue took me by suprise by reporting this alleged assault for no reason except that i said i need to think about if I would pay for her travel abroad. I can categorially say no violence has happened.

She has lied to manupilate the Justice system in order to stop me seeing our childrens as a mean to punish me. I have social services giving me a hard time because of these lies and my contact time with my kids have suffered.

After conducting some research i have come to learn that lying about domestic violence is an criminal offence. She has deliberately perverted the course of justice just so she can hurt me. Can you confirm if this is an criminal offence?

Can i report my wife to the police? If yes, what is the likely outcome?

Please note we are still married (kind of).

Many Thanks

For his own good, your son needs to get out of the relationship and get out now. If he has been charged previously, then he certainly doesn't need more allegations thrown at him. However, if he stays within the relationship then his partner could accuse your son at any time.  At least if he is out of the relationship then if she accuses him of domestic violence she will find it more difficult to prove. However, if he is living with her and covered in scratches, then she could use this in a lie about self-defence. If he has evidence of her blackmail; text messages, etc, then he should keep these and perhaps even report these to the police. The best way he can prove his innocence is not to be at the scene of any reported crime.
LovingFather 21/07/2016 at 10:58 pm
My partner and I had a fight, and she made allegations about domestic violence. We got in a fight one night, due to high stress and scratched each other up. She didn't press charges and I was let go. She has a 7 year old daughter, that I helped raise and she called me her daddy.. And are very attached. Social services are now involved, and I suppose they advised her or told her I can't have any contact with our daughter. It's our first falling out, and her daughter wasn't present when our fight occurred. My partner is now scared to let me move back in, and be there for her and her daughter.. I know she wants to get married.. And make things work and patch up our relationship. And we don't know what to do.... or how long the social services are keeping watch, or how to go about this situation now that they're allowed. I'm homeless living in my car, and she's afraid to let me move back in because of them.. Please help.

My son is in a relationship with a girl who has previously made serious false allegations of domestic violence against him. She changed her statement on the day of the trial & after nearly 9 months of being charged with GBH the charge was reduced to common assault. They were separated for over 3yrs but now are seeing each other again. He has shared with me tonight that he is very very scared as they are arguing constantly and he wants out of the relationships but she doesn't. She is threatening to call the police, make up allegations against him and have him arrested again if he leaves her. He doesn't know what to do and is fearful that if he upsets her in anyway she will do this. he has told me she is violent to him and shown me scratches on his body which he states are from her. He says she is constantly physically, emotionally & verbally abusive to him and constantly taunts him about false allegations as a way of controlling him. Please can you give advice on how best to protect himself before he ends the relationship as he firmly believes this will be the catalyst to false allegations being made.

Me and my boyfriend of 5 years have a 9 month old daughter together. Ever since she was born, his ex (whom he has two other kids with), is determined to destroy our family. She took the kids from him, and now that he's finally had enough and decided to take her to court, she's all of a sudden come up with a false claim. She called the police saying he went to her house, kicked her door in and threatened her with a hammer. We were able to prove that she was lying, but now because domestic violence reports automatically get reported to social services, they're coming to visit ME tomorrow under the assumption that I'm in a domestically abusive relationship. Is there anything I can do, as this is ridiculous. My partner is not abusive and this is all based on a lie.
The thing is, she has called SS on us anonymously before for arguing (lies), but we couldn't prove they were lies. The case was closed anyway, but I can't help but feel this will affect tomorrow's outcome?

I am going through a battle to see my children at this present time, the mother has stopped me from seeing my girls for nearly 7weeks and I have had to accept a contact centre before my upcoming court date for access. Now all of a sudden the mother is accusing me of domestic abuse, financial abuse, child neglect and mental abuse (I'm sure there is more). I have never done any of these things apart from provide for her and my children. I have now started to realise that i am now seem to be the guilty party even though this is all fabrication and half truths. She is also now turning my 3 1/2 year old against me , but this is not seen as abuse to my child?? It seems as if women can search on the internet all cases and accuse you of everything as to tick all the boxes as they only ever want the children to see them and alienate me and my family. I can see how fathers end up loosing the will to fight with no support from the courts or police.
Nile 07/07/2016 at 9:09 am
I have wrongly accused of domestic violet offences in my child custody battle. I have never committed any domestic violence of done anything that I have been accused off. Now I'm to nervous to visit my son under the mothers supervision which Is the only access I'm allowed without her making up another lot of false aligations. I want to take a witness with me but I am not allowed to as she suggest that it is not suitable for me to bring someone as I will not be able to leant my child's needs and routine without her being there. I don't know what to do what do you think is the best way to go about the situation?
Jay 03/07/2016 at 8:12 pm
My ex turned up at my property last night trying to drop my son, I explained to her I couldn't have him as I had plans and it wasn't my weekend, when I said that she then started getting aggressive and waving her fingers in my face until she actually was poking my forehead, I took both of her hands and restrained her against a wall but she broke free and starting scratching my face she then run off and called the police telling them several lies that I had strangled her and pulled her hair and she was in fear for her life, the police then arrested me for abh and have realised me on bail how is this fair I'm the innocent party she should of been arrested not me
Aj 03/07/2016 at 12:30 pm
I left my ex wife after years of her verbal abuse she would not help me with the kids.
Now she has lied at every opportunity to anyone who listens ranging from rape to domestic violence all I wanted to do was leave her and see my children but no one believes me I have recorded her many times and have taken them to the police but again I've been told they don't matter.
How can she have no evidence but everyone believes what she says her story keeps changing but they still believe her what can I do to stop this please
SeparatedDads Editor 31/05/2016 at 2:05 pm
Unfortunately, we cannot predict what a court may decide or what the outcome will be. It obviously depends on the extent of the assault and the injuries caused or sustained. If he is suffering psychologically as a result, he should see a GP and talk through whether he can seek anger management help or counselling for the psychological effects.
Tricky 31/05/2016 at 7:35 am
My husband has been arrested for assulting his daughter there have been quite a few police calls in the past for the same sort of thing the last call my daughter made and we made a statement I am worried about the conveniences as I know he will plead my guilty st the first hearing and I would do the same as he was only mucking about but their relationship is not good my husband is not a criminal our marriage broke down years ago i am filling for divorce as this can't carry on I am worried for his future I have read he can get 6 months in prison and a crimp record since the last restraining order he has had a break down and I feel he needs help is there a better outcome ???
Caprisun 30/05/2016 at 6:51 pm
Hi there,

I am on here as my boyfriend has been accused of rape and domestic violence from a woman he spent almost 14 years with. He had access to his kids and was seeing them most weekends until his ex found out about us...... Then she flipped. Stopped him seeing the kids and made poor excuses as to why. Then when we took her to court for access she went to the police and said he raped her. It has torn him apart and since he last saw the kids 18 months ago she has managed to twist their poor minds against him so at cafcass they told the woman they didn't want to see him :(. It's so sad as everyone interviewing has been female and they all have their judgement before they even meet him. The woman at cafcass was harsh on him and made a one sided report! I feel bad for all of you poor dads who go through this! I wouldn't put a man through this unless it was 100% true. In his case she wants to hurt him so she has used the kids and now he wants access she has cried rape. It's disgusting. Any advice or what we can do?? Thanks
AK 28/05/2016 at 1:06 pm
My wife planned to take my children away from me. We had an argument and she started to scream to get the attention of our neighbours. She then opened the house's door and run in the street with our two children. Our neighbours called the police and I was arrested. I am on bail because of allegations of domestic violence. Before the police makes any decision, she made a prohibited step order to prevent me take the children from her care, their school and the UK.Her false claims of domestic violence prevented me seeing our children except under supervised contact. I did not commit any domestic violence but the police considered her a victim and, in fact, I am the real victim. How can I prove that her claims of domestic violence are fake?

I left my wife in 2013 since moved on and settled down but her on the other hand has had 3 diffenrt men this week I had police nicking me she said I had rape her in our last year of being together I was so shocked since we broke up we got on OK for our kids now all this out the blue she lied bout most things she has told the police with 13 hours after being let out on bail I got proof of her lies but how do I prove I have never raped her please some one help me
SeparatedDads Editor 26/04/2016 at 2:57 pm
I would advise you not to put a Facebook page online with the recordings as this could land you in trouble for defamation. If you have new evidence then you should present this straight to your legal representative.
RAG 26/04/2016 at 3:27 am
My wife entered on a spouse visa on the 13th December 2015. My house was being renovated so we rented an apartment for 3 months. One day, I got a text from my wifes sister in Italy to go to the apartment as my wife was not well. when I got there, she started shouting at me and I dialled 999 for an ambuance. She fainted and I was directed what to do with the operator whilst the ambulance arrived.
By the time they arrived, she had got up and was in bed. The ambulance men said to me thqat there was nothing wrong with her. I made sure she was in bed then went to carry on with my work. A few hours later, she said she had called the police and told them i had abused her.
That same night, I bought her some food and whilst with her, the police called and asked her how she was and she said fine but did not want to see me and that I had not seen her. However, I was right next to her and she lied to the police. She did this again a few times.

At the end of February 2016, she ran off to a womans refuge. Whilst there, she asked me for £4000 and purported to be pregnant and if she is deported, the baby will be too (emotional blackmail). I asked her that if I give her the 4K, what will happen, she said she would come back to me and never run away again and swore on our holy book and her mother.
She asked me to take a photo of the money before she came.as she didn't want to come all the way to find out that I have not got it. She called me again on a Sunday and asked me if I had got the money, and she stated that she nneds money.
I managed to record the conversations and will be going to the police in a few days.

Had the police asked her a few questions about the abuse she may not have gone so far but her confidence grew as she was getting support from all quarters and anything she said was considered gospel.

I plan to do a Facebook page and will put the recordings and the story online. I was lucky to have recorded her as had I toild the police she was demanding 4K, they'd probably not believe me.
Prince 24/04/2016 at 11:27 pm
I was out of a job in the last month of my wifes pregnancy. 5 weeks after having a baby I was still out of a job. This whole period around the birth of my baby was especially strenous because I was trying very hard to let my strain show on my wife.
She got into an argument with me one day and started getting volatile with me. I was in the kitchen trying to actually help out with some house chores. She got irritated that she was in a situation where neither her parents nor any of my family members were around to help her. She jammed my fingers on an indoor clothes hanger and was in my face yelling and cursing me. I was literaly pushed with no where else I could move to physically as I was against the counter and it got so irritating so much so I was forced to deter her away from hurting me and I raised my hand that ended up with the most minor contact on her chin. She called the police and I was arrested. The police told me it was no big deal. they just needed to see me away from the house and not to worry. I ended up in the police station. They told me they just had to interview me under caution and asked if I needed a solicitor. I said no because the way they explained getting a solicitor was that it could take many hours as it was the weekend. I was not sure how long it would be given it was a weekend and so I asked to continue with this interview waiving my right to be represented because I was only too worried about my wife and my baby as I had to get back home at any cost to help look after.
I ended up getting a police caution as the police said it was a minor slap on the wrist and that every gets it, its no big deal.
After coming back home I was totally dejected to find out this will hinder my chances of travelling and obtain jobs. I was extremely disappointed. My wife after 6 months then said she wanted to visit her relatives and travelled abraod with my baby and went to another country thats not part of the 1970 Hague convention so now I cannot see my son and the courts in this country cannot force her to come back because they dont have jurisdiction here.
The fact that I have this caution attached is hindering my immigration status very badly and across jurisdictions its almost impossible to bring something to a closure with ridiculous immigration rules designed to separate people.

@Injustice - Any hint of anything will have an impact on your case for adoption. The selection process for people who haven't had such allegations is rigorous enough, as they have to take in account that adoptive parents do not pose a risk to the children who could be placed with them.
Injustice 12/04/2016 at 10:44 pm
Hi,

This is a long shot but after much research I am still none the wiser.

A few years back in 2011 , my ex partner accused me of domestic violence. 4 charges of common assault. While under arrest I clearly stated it was self defence to 2 of the accusations , the other 2 were completely false. From the get go the police were not on my side. While in custody under interview I told them of my injuries recived but they were shrugged off and I asked on cctv in the custody suite for my injuries to be photographed. My requests were ignored and I was charged for all 4 counts. And bailed.

After being charged I immediately went to my solicitor and my injuries were photographed and we waited for my court date to arrive, during this time my solicitor got cctv footage of me asking at the station for my injuries to be photographed and my request being blatantly ignored. My solicitor sent these to the CPS prior to my hearing . I have no doubt if the CPS was presented this evidence I would not have been charged.

My first date for court came up which I pleaded not guilty to all 4 counts, the CPS then upped one charge to ABS as apparently one of my ex partners injuries developed into a broken arm , something which was complete news to me and my solicitor and not even mentioned while I was under arrest. I still maintained my innocence. My trail was set for 2 weeks later .

The day of the trail came and I was about to leave the house for court and my solicitor called and told me not to come as the case had been dropped.

At the time I thought that was the end of it and I could get on with my life.

Now 5 years later I am married in a stable happy loving relationship and myself and my partner are looking at adoption. We have had our initial consultation and I've been 100% honest about the past allegations, they have stressed that because of this our adoption application is probably never going to be accepted.

How is this fair ? I haven't even had a trial and this going to affect my whole future. What can I do to get rid of these allegations? I was prepared at the time to go to trial and plead not guilty, I now feel like I haven't even had the opportunity to prove this and it's just assumed I am guilty of domestic violence even though I could get all my previous partners to say I'm the exact opposite.

Is there anything I can do to remove this permanently from my life ?

Many thanks in advance for any advice
Sue 04/04/2016 at 6:04 pm
I need advice from the other side of the coin. My 11 year old Grandson's Dad has been in a relationship for about 2 years. The woman's ex is known to be vindictive and has succeeded in breaking up her past relationships. My Grandson has been on holiday with his Dad's girlfriend. Her children, boy 10, girl 7 see quite a bit of my Grandson.
Out of the blue we have found out that at least the boy has accused my Grandson of 'something sexual'. We don't know what, just that the police are going to interview my Grandson at the station. I know you have probably heard it all before, but my Grandson totally protests his innocence and from his body language and demeanour I know this to be the case. How can one man coach his kids to destroy another kid. He has access to them, yet wants to get back with the mother.
Shezz 27/03/2016 at 7:40 pm
Feeling so helpless watching my son physicly and mentaly disintregrate
My son got with a girl after 5yr traumatic break up. He cogided on this new girl what he had been through. especially being accused of wrongful violence to cut a long story short this girl got into his head she has 3 children to different men who all told my son to stay away from her she plays with your head. But boy is this girl clever she had me fooled with lies. She turned him against me went yo his exes and his place of work causong trouble. whilst appearing to being all sweetness and light
My son let her stay in is house with her children. whilst her ex was in her house and telling my son she wasnt allowed home. Except to put the children to bed. He felt sorry for her and helped as much as he could he said icant let her walk the streets all day with3 young children.
Anyway now she has cometely messed his head up and my son has played right into her hands because when he is angry and frustrated he shouts. And she makes sure the nieghbours hear it. And going outside and shouting things like thats the last time you hit me and all manner of lies she has done so much damage to the property. And today sat on his drive for 4 hours whilst i was thirr crying and telling me making sure nieghbours heard he had done something to the breaks so she cant drive it. After i went she drove away only to return later to taunt him. Last week she got him arrested. And he will be getting prosicuted. And the reason she rings the law on him is because she knows he has a police phobia which makes things worst. Its a Vicious circle because she just does what she wants

I find it funny. How guys are being falsely accused from every single direction. There's no one to turn to or advise. And even here in this site all it shows us guys complaining and complaining but no actual help to turn to
Innocent 16/03/2016 at 4:12 pm
Domestic violence? If you are male and have been accused of this, then prepare yourself to be guilty and prove your innocents! 6 months ago I had a argument with my partner at the time, she had stopped me a few times from leaving the house (false Imprisonment). Because I used force (self defense) that makes a DV case. When in fact for the past year and a half I have been the one beening abused by her. I have text messages and phone logs to back this up and the CPS and police are still in her favour? Utter madness. Good luck to you all, I'm 6 months in now. I've stopped eating and sleeping and feel as if it's all worth fighting my case. The law needs to change for the better...
Garfield 09/03/2016 at 1:02 pm
I received an emergency Section 42 (non-molesation order) completely out blue on evening. Over the next few months a total of 53 allegations were made against me (some of which were very serious), which I had to defend for a fact finding hearing. There was no evidence to support these allegations (as they were complete fabrications) and the Barristers agreed before the hearing that in fact there was no case for me to answer. However, my ex-partner was only able to continue make all these allegations because she was state sponsored. I now have legal costs for my defence in excess of £25k ! Which I apparently have no hope of recovery, guilty until proved innocent ! (I would call this state sponsored terrorism, because that's exactly the effect it had in me). After the court sealed the order I found out that my Barraster had traded my C1a & C100 for her Section 42. This was very disappointing to find out because, I in effect lost the opportunity for the court to see what the pathological lying of my ex.
Any thoughts on other sources I could seek to recover some of my cost?

Hello there need some help please been wrongfully accused of historical domestic violence. I haven't been with my ex for 7 months she reported it in December. I can't sleep or eat. I'm lucky that I have a amazing family and girlfriend to help support me.
Frustrated 17/02/2016 at 3:58 pm
This whole system is so completely warped, unjust and biased towards women and extremely discriminatory towards men.

Changing the access to legal aid so that one can only receive legal aid if you have a claim of domestic violence is the biggest cause of women making false claims against their male partners of domestic violence simply to enable them to get legal aid and additional benefits and support.

I have never been in trouble with the law in all my 46 years.

I have always been hard working, responsible and supported my family and my wife never had to work a day in her life.

While I worked she had many affairs, developed a ketamine habit and became an alcoholic and put the children and I through hell for many years.

She used to get very aggressive and violent on vodka and would attack me physically on a regular basis, try to go and drive which I had to prevent, and if she did not get her own way, would scream at the top of her voice, "Help! Help! He is raping me!"

There were bottles of vodka hidden all over the house.

The last straw for me came when I came home late one evening after visiting with friends who were over from abroad to find my wife drunk and naked with another man in our home.

I asked him repeatedly to leave the home, to which he refused saying he had every right to be in my home and was also drunk.

The two of them began to taunt me and kiss one another in front of me and became verbally abusive and threatening towards me.

I put my hand on his back and tried to guide him to the door again asking him to leave.

He then began to aggressively push me so I began to push back and while this happened my wife kicked and punched me and hit me with objects on the head.

Once he was out the front door I locked the door for my own safety and to prevent him coming back inside.

My wife then wanted to go with him so I opened the door and let her out and the two of them left together.

The following day the two of them filed false charges of assault against me and stated that I kept my wife locked up in the house against her will.

I was arrested with about 4 police vehicles turning up in our cul-de-sac, in front of our neighbours and my children.

I sat in a cell, had my prints, DNA and picture taken as though I were a criminal and was the one at fault.

After 14 hours and a harrowing experience and interview, I was released with no further action.

I was driven home at 3am and told I was to pack a bag, leave my home and go as far away as possible and not return.

I was so shocked and traumatised (I had also lost a very good job the week before due to redundancies) and had to sleep on a friends floor for a week, and then another and another and still find myself homeless with no money.

In the meantime my wife continued to lie about me to anyone she could, including social services, who took her word as gospel, gave her all the help she needed, wrote all sorts of defamatory things about

Hi

I was falsely accused of domestic violence,I in fact was the victim in all honesty. But she decided to strike first and call the police after I had made a pretend call during the onslaught of violence from her.

I was defending myself.

I suffered injuries etc and was charged. Placed on bail for approximately 4 months.

I pleaded not guilty and was aquitted after being crucified during the hearing at magistrates.

My questions are.

I suffered injury. Where do I stand with putting a counter allegation against her?
I was on bail , forced from my home (we had a joint tenancy which I solely had paid in advance for) and had to rent somewhere whilst waiting for court case.

My travel costs to the police station court etc.

Surely as I am innocent. I should be entitled to be in the same financial position I was in when first accused?

The system really doesn't mean innocent until proven guilty if this is what's happening to people out there.

My situation can't be unique can it?

I'm afraid we do not provide advice over the phone. You would have to seek professional legal advice if you wished for a consultation. If you have Parental Responsibility i.e you were named on the birth certificate, then your partner should have asked your consent to move out of the area. If your ex is denying you access, your only recourse is to take the matter to court in order to gain contact to your son - please see link: When Your Ex-Partner Denies You Access, here . I hope this helps.

Do your firm provide advice over the phone even if I had to pay for the service or do you have offices in London that I can go and sit down and have a proper advice ?
I have been falsely accused my partner or soon to be ex partner of domestic voilence which I never did and even the police found it so strange and took no further action. Since then my partner has taken away my son all the way to the North East whiles we live in London with all other friends and family. It's obvious to me now that was her motive to falsely accused me and take away my son and stop me seeing him.

Hi;

In Spain the situation is much worse.

The word of the woman , without proof, is equivalent to the truth.

There are thousands of men in jail for a false report.

Further to my previous message. There are a lot of us out here who have been abused by the law. This for one reason or another sometimes just shear malise by the other party. The law appears from where I sit to allow itself to be a stick to beat innocent people with! Once as in my case decisions are made virtually on the spot they appear irreversible. My life at nearly 72 is in tatters. I need a real Champion who will really help me a as previous organisations approached just seem to make the right noises and nothing more. Please treat as urgent. Thanks Staff

All Happened pretty much per your scenario. Wife of nearly 37 years has long term mental issues. Had a small nick on middle finger right hand. There was some blood but you would get more from a nick while shaving. Required a small piece of tissue to stop bleeding. This was self inflicted. Wife then struck me several times over the head. Without my knowledge called police. I was arrested for assault. Wife made a wild statement to police. Solicitor advised me not to make a statement to protect wife. Told not to worry as would be realised was protecting wife later. I was charged with assault. Wife committed perjury in court. Magistrates believed her not my true version. I was found guilty. I was given a fine, probation, and a 12 months restriction order. At nearly 72 years of age my life is ruined. It will soon be 2 years since the event I am effectively homeless and living in a hostel as cannot get in my home. I have tried everywhere to get help. I believe that this horror is a regular occurence. The authorities let this snowball out of all sense. There must be some where I can get real help please advise. Please do not say FASO or similar as have already tried them.

My wife pleaded guilty of DV against me 3 years ago. She went back to India with my son and only she came back to UK last year. Recently she brought my son (after 2 years) and her mom to UK.

I proceeded contact arrangement with my son in court and she contested against that on the baseless grounds of domestic violence towards her and my son during when we were together (3 years ago). but the court ordered for supervised contact with my son. In 2 sessions of contact arrangement so far, she was at least 30 mins late for each 1 hour session and it was recorded by the supervisor.

Now recently she made a police complaint of domestic violence by me against her which according to her took place 3 years ago. Police given me plenty of time (since I was working in different city) and asked me to come to the police station and I volunteered myself for the enquiry and denied all her false allegations but they arrested me and liberated in the same time by giving a notice to attend the court hearing on next month. police said that her mother witnessed an assault (slap) by me towards her daughter 3 years ago when she was in my house in UK.

1. I would like to know that is there any potential credibility of the witness since she is interested party of the victim.

2. Is this evidence is enough for the PF (procurator fiscal) to decide that is it in the public interest to prosecute and go forward with this case.
3. since the timing of her complaint coincides after my initiation of the contact arrangements in court. Also her mother landed in UK 4 months back and they were dormant for 4 months and suddenly went to the police before my first supervised contact session.

4. She had the same domestic violence allegations on the return writ petition for my child contact proceedings. but the judge never ever said anything regarding that allegations and directly ordered for the supervised contact to start with since I was separated from my son for the last 2 years. what I would like to know why the judge didn’t shown any seriousness to her allegations on me.

Please let me know how serious this case in total.

Unfortunatley, Legal Aid funding can generally only be obtained currently, for victims of domestic violence. You may be able to obtain some legal advice from Citizens Advice and you also may be able to self-litigate, please see link: Legal Aid Withdrawal: How to Represent Yourself, here, as well as get help from a McKenzie Friend here. I hope this helps.

I was falsely accused of DV in March 2015. I was
and released on bail pending investigation with no access to anything in my house which I bought before we met.
The Police and the CPS found no ground to charge or prosecute as there were no evidence to suggest any abuse towards her.
I was meant to return to my home on the 10th of Aprir 2015, but to my surprise, a court courier knocked on my sister's door at 9pm on the 9th of April with the Court Document for "NON OCCUPATION AND NON MOLESTATION ORDER which stated that I should not under any circumstances go near the house.
We attended the Court on three occasions and on the third one, with several hours of deliberations and documents presented by me to prove that all her allegations are not true. She said she can't leave with me anymore and her lawyer said the Court should make me to stay away and I should continue to pay the mortgage and all the household bills Because she has not being working for about 5 years after walking out of her previous job in 2010 or I should sell the house and give her half of the money. I disagree with the points on the basis that she should go and get a job, and I can't afford to rent a room and don't want to sell and render my sons homeless.
It was break time and we were asked to be back to Court room by 2pm.
Her lawyer came up to me before going back to the courtroom to suggest that we can resolve this issue out of Court for the sake of our sons and the messy nature of the situation, pointing to the report of the Social services which I have already countered but because of my sons and because I want to go back to the comfort of my own house I was ready to listen and compromise. Her lawyer said the non- Occupation order will be cancelled and non molestation order in 6 months she will either move out of the house when she gets a job or will be paying the household bills provided I sign an undertakings to stay away for another 6months for her to get a job or decide her next move.
I agreed because I want to go back home to my sons as they are missing me as much as I'm missing them
The Court accepted my undertakings. The non molestation order expires in April 2016 and all the allegations cancelled provided I do not breach the undertakings.
With all the allegations over in April and being allowed back into my house, do I have any protection or legal right to still move back to my house if she decide to bring up a fresh false allegations or come up with divorce papers before April. It is very obvious that she just want the money from the property and run
I have been living rough and looking forward to April in anticipation of going back home.
Please advise
Thank you

I not sure how to reply to a response , but this was in response to the reply to my previous post. No, we have not been throug the courts yet, we were never married but together for 10 years. We have not agreed any maintenance costs or anything, even though I've done the calculator and am trying to make payments that roughly equate to that. I have no idea how on earth I can afford what is suggested. My partner is suggesting mediation but I don't want to go down that route, as whilst the first one is free, they can go on for ages, where no doubt I will have to pay and shet will get legal aid etc. She is shaping that until that is formalised, I can't have any unsupervised contact , she is making me out to be this awful monster, in a common assault arrest ( no charge) and that I have used drugs, therefore, it's unsafe me taking our daughter out for the day, it has to be with her present. So I suggested my family want to see our daughter, no that's not allowed as my parent wouldn't feel comfortable ! As we have no formal arrangement yet, am I obliged to pay any maintenance? I'm minded not to, until there is sensible access to my daughter . I can already tell what will happen if we go to the courts, because I have an arrest ( no charge thou) and have used drugs in the last, that they will deny me all contact, or I can only see her at special contact centres. She knows I would do no harm to my daughter. I have yet to sling any mud, but we could all throw in what people have done in the past, just seems so unfair, and our daughter is the one that suffers. When my partner tells me sorry, she doesn't feel comfortable with my family taking our daughter out ( with my ex present I should add, as those are her 'rules') , I tell her done apologies to me, apologise to our daughter.... Is there anyone that can see the unfairness in this and can advise what to do? It's getting silly, I don't want it to get out of hand, but this no access, unless ex is present, is absolutely barking.... Should I raise the issue that her mum (exs mum) who she is currently staying with, is under the care of a psychiatrist , my parents suffers from depression, can I make the case, I don't think the environment she is in is beneficial for my child's mental well being ... Seems one side is allowed to throw mud, but I have to remain calm and accept the current situation .... I can't afford maintenance, legal advice, mediation fees etc. Perhaps I self litigate, so will look into this, but I need an understanding of legally what my rights are, as am on birth certificate, but I do have those black marks against my name , common assault arrset( no charge), is that even admissible as evidence? Plus drug use I the past, can that be used against me .... I went to a counsellor stayed the course and came off drugs.... Sorry this seems such a whinging post and apologies if you've got this far, you'd probably tell me to get a grip ! I just get waves of it will get sorted out in th

I have been falsely accused of domestic violence by my ex after refusing to commit immigraton crime that is to lie to the immigration that she is my wife when I Islamic ally divorced her and also attempted the legal divorce. She was on her probationary period of her spouse visa. She and her family threatened me if I refused to make sure she gets her ILR in the UK. I have been acquitted in court. I wish to have her prosecuted for wasting police time, perverting the course of justice, immigration fraud, blackmail and assaults. The police don't want to listen to me as she called rhythm police and appears to them as though I'm the criminal. Her lawyers guaranteed to stay in UK by using the "victim card". What is best course of action to get law makers to see that there are people like increasingly absuign the law by false accusations because it actually works. It 8s not fair that there are real victims out there and some criminals will use it for their advantage. I have launched complaints to DPS, local MP, Keith Vaz, CPS to give full disclose of how they came to charge me without any evidence other than the false account of the accuser. I would like to take this up politically as many people take it as a taboo and don't do nothing about it
SeparatedDads Editor 18/12/2015 at 12:45 pm
It sounds like you have already been through the court process, but you don't say. You need to keep paying maintenance, as you say, it will land you in more debt and trouble if you don't and it doesn't look good in front of the courts. If you can't afford solicitor's fees you can self-litigate, please see link: here regarding how to represent yourself in court. I hope this helps.

Hi, I was arrested 3 weeks ago, after pushing my partner out of bed. I was intoxicated and she alleges it was a punch. Anyway, I was released after a night in the cell, with an NFA. Immediately afterwards, my partner and I had almost rencollied, I felt hugely guilty and quite rightly so, that inexcusable behaviour on my part. My partner moved out of the home to her parents. After a couple of days, I became angry at what I felt was overreaction by calling the police. My partner, said the reason the police didn't take it further was because she didn't make a statement. Unfortunately, that incorrect as police, when DV is even alleged, will decide if they take it further irrespective of any statement. Anyway, things have deterioted, due in part as I wanted her to address her issues, which she took as me trying to blame her for what a happened, not the case. Anyway, our 3 year old daughter is with her mum, who is now making it very difficult for me to see my daughter. She has said, I can only see her when partner is there, I'm not allowed any unsupervised visits, I can't pick her up in the car. She even denied my parents to take her out for the day. Essentially, even though I she wants me to be involved as the father, getting acceess alone or taking her to my sis or parents is impossible, as she will not agree it. She said she has taken advice and that is her right! She is also slinging mud that in the past I have used drugs and she is therefore concerned about our daughters safety. This is complete nonsense, as she means the world to me and woudk never hurt her, however, I went on a rehab course, came out clean, but where it's on record of past drug use, I'm left with no leg to stand on! Can anyone help, is this all true? How can I arrange access? I can't afford slickers fees on top of maintenance. I'm minded not to pay maintenance until I get sensible access to my daughter, but that will land me in more trouble. I've accepted my part in this totally, however going forward is the most important thing so that I can still have a relationship with my daughter . Any advice gratefully received
SeparatedDads Editor 09/12/2015 at 10:19 am
It is completely normal. It takes time to get over an abusive relationship. One of the worst ways of dealing with the break up of a relationship is to jump straight into another one. This is never the best answer and a person needs time to recover and you are doing the right thing by recovering at your own pace. There is no rule book to say when you should start to have another relationship, and it's always better in the long run to feel happy and confident in yourself again first. Please see link: How a Separated Father Can Move on, here. I hope this helps.

The only time I found out about mental abuse and physical abuse is when a 10 year friend of ours told me, They said they didn't see anything like that, she wore the trousers in the relationship and moved on with someone else, 5 children, youngest was 3yr old twin girls, I am not interested in any relationship now for 2 yrs. I feel my children don't want any more confusion in there life, is this normal?

I was told off my partner, now ex that she used to take illegal substances before she met me, she works voluntary in a school with special needs children, I reported to the school and teaching agency of her background, she used to live with a drug dealer also and has an adult son in jail for robbery. but when she was approached by the school on my report,she denied it and I was given a pin notice for harassment. without police investigation, I fear from reprisals from her family and I have otold police but they wont do anything, I also reported her fo harassment,threats towards myself,belittleing to me,demeaning me, and everything else that can be done, it was logged by the police and that was it. where is the justice in all of this, her ex husband knows about her illegal substance taking but wont back me up.

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do to guarantee your boyfriend is above the law should you accuse him of anything when under the influence of drink. Should there be a re-occurance, the police and CPS will deal with any issue of this sort as it sees fit at the time.
CLW 02/12/2015 at 8:07 pm
I am a recovering alcoholic with mental health problems (borderline personality disorder) but generally doing well (I recently managed 6 months of Sobriety author have had a couple of small lapses since then).
The problem occurred relatively recently when both my partner and I were somewhat intoxicated and, in trying to help me, he tried to take a bottle of drink off of me. In doing so, my head hit the wall and I spoke to 111 after an unfortunate "go on, I dare you" conversation.
An ambulance took me away and ascertained that I had a minor concussion but, very regrettably he was taken into police custody. No charges were pressed but he did have to spend the night in the cells and this is now, clearly, on his record.
We are both very concerned that if, under the influence, I were to report him for Tring to prevent me going out or having a drink, that he could be arrested again. This is something that could only ever happen if I have been drinking as I do tend to be deceitful and overreact.
Is there anyway of getting a record that he should never be arrested, questioned etc for simply grabbing my arm? Obviously, if he hit me to would be a different matter but I don't wish him to get into any trouble just for trying to help me!This is of paramount importance to our relationship!! I am doing everything I can and getting help to deal with my issues but I want to be sure he is safe from any issues due to me not having things 100% under control. He only has my best interests at heart.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When i take a drink in the house at night after work which I have done all our 20 yeard married. My is always threatening to phone police. She has phoned them twice and twice they left without doing anything apart from speak to me. They can quite clearly see Im not an abusive person. My wife used to drink with me until there was an alcohol related bereavement. Now she despises the stuff. I've stayed in my mum's the last two nights and my wife says I can come back to house but one drink and she is phoning police. We are joint owner occupiers. Can she keep doing this to me ?
SeparatedDads Editor 16/11/2015 at 10:13 am
If Cafcass has recommended that you have access, then the court will take this report seriously. However, there is never a guarantee the courts will adhere to the report 100%, but you do stand a good chance. Just because your ex has decided she does not wish you to see your child means little, the courts wish for fathers to have contact with their children and will do their best to make the contact happen. Good luck.

SeparatedDads Editor 05/11/2015 at 2:24 pm
Unless you called 101, the non-emergency number, then your argument would have been deemed an emergency. As with the comment below, just because you retracted the statement, this does not mean the case will be stopped, as the CPS will have to consider what evidence is available and the safety of those involved. Domestic violence is a serious issue and can sometimes lead to severe injury and death for the victim, therefore the CPS has to do everything in its power to bring those responsible to court.
SeparatedDads Editor 05/11/2015 at 10:16 am
Much depends on whether he did actually assualt you, or not and what evidence the Police and CPS have to prosecute your boyfriend. The CPS will have only have the victim's interest in mind and prosecution cases are not always focussed solely on the evidence of the victim. When deciding whether or not to prosecute, the safety of the victim, children and any other person involved will be a priority for the CPS. Sometimes a victim will ask the police not to proceed with the case. However, this does not mean the case will be stopped, as the CPS will have to consider what evidence is available and the safety of those involved. Domestic violence is a serious issue and can sometimes lead to severe injury and death for the victim, therefore the CPS has to do everything in its power to bring those responsible to court.

SeparatedDads Editor 04/11/2015 at 3:03 pm
I am sorry to hear this. There is nothing you can do regarding you ex leaving, as unfortunately that is her choice. However, you may be able to get access to your children via the courts. Please see link: When Your Ex-Partner Denies You Access, whichYou would need to go through the procedure laid out in the article.
SeparatedDads Editor 04/11/2015 at 12:07 pm
I can only suggest you apply through the courts for a C4 form which is an application for the whereabouts of a child. However, the courts will not reveal your ex's address if she wishes it to be confidential, they will use the information solely for you to apply for access to your child. You may wish to speak with your solicitor for advice regarding trying for access when you are on bail. If you can't afford the legal fees, you may also be alble to self-litigate, please see article, Legal Aid Withdrawal: How to Represent Yourself, here.

I was falsley accused of domestic violence towards my wife. We married in 2010 and she came to the UK in 2013 so she isnt a british citizen
While i was at the police station during my interview i was then arrested again for false imprisonment of my wife
I am currently bail, after i got released i went home to find that police and my wife had taken all her stuff along with my daughter.. she is 7 months old
Ive spoke to every solicitor and social services and the police to find out where my daughter is and how she is but had no luck.
I feel like ive been used by my wife and her family for her to stay in this country and feel like my daughter has been kidnapped

I cant get legal aid because im the one whos being falsley accused of violence

Anyone can help?

Thanks for your response.
What do you think the punishment would be if I was to plead guilty at the intermediate diet.
SeparatedDads Editor 23/10/2015 at 11:28 am
This is a tricky situation and one where you would benefit from some legal advice. However, as you may know, Legal Aid has pretty much been withdrawn from the system and those who can't afford legal representation are being asked to self-litigate. Please see article, Legal Aid Withdrawal: How to Represent Yourself, whichThis can be carried with the help of a McKenzie Friend, many of which are trained legal advisers. You may also be able to get financial help if you can't afford the court forms. I can only suggest you do as much research as you can and build up your case in order to try and clear your name, if, as you say, you have been falsely accused of domestic abuse. A well prepared case will help you in court. Please see also the Bar Council - Guide to Representing Yourself, here. The main thing here is you have nothing to lose in trying to put the past behind you, and try to regain access to your children by fighting your case. I hope this helps.

I am currently on bail and due to attend intermediate diet in 2 weeks.
I ended the relationship with my ex at the beginning of 2013 as I had met someone else the relationship wasn't the best with alot of arguments from both sides. I had left numerous times but was always begged to go back and I never had the courage to leave for good. She got her family to make a false allegation last year of sexual assault saying back to 2004 which was investigated with no charges to be brought. Then decided to send abusive messages and contact my partners family to which I made a complaint to the police she was questioned and released as gave a no comment statement. 20 days later she made a complaint to police of DV 1 charge 2002 breach of the peace 2 2005 of pulling her hair and 2012 punching her. She begged to get vows renewed in 2012 against my wishes . My lawyer advised to plead not guilty in court which I did and has been speaking to a senior pf who has said they are considering the case and in his word is clear this is a women with hell have no fury.. I have not seen my children for a number of years and was trying to go to court with the use of legal aid which my ex phoned to query my income and resulted in my legal aid being terminated. Constantly calling the csa to get more money as well. I'm in 2 minds what to do. It was me that filed for divorce also which she dragged her heels with supplying the affadavits again at my cost. I suffer from depression and anxiety which I am on medication for and should have done something about before but didn't have the willpower at the time too. And I would go on benders and binge drink. Was declared bankrupt in 2013 as well as I couldn't afford my bills and rent on a flat. I did have overnight contact with my children for the first year but would continually get abusive phone calls from my ex which resulted in me binging. I fully accept that it was not right to have contact with my children until I dealt with my issues but these charges are not fair. The stress of not knowing what is going to happen makes my illness worse.

In Feb 2015 my wife and I had an argument about my son visiting my parents, she told me I wasn't allowed to take "her son" out, the argument grew and she was poking her finger at me, shouting and pushing me. I tried to walk her back away and ended up having to push her off of me, to which she deliberately fell onto the stairs and started screaming to get her daughters attention. Her daughter came from her room already recording on her phone, i tried to calm my wife down without any success. 10 days later she went to the police and told them I pushed her lots of times and tried to strangle her infront of our 5 year old son. Obviously her daughter gave an identical story 7 days later to the police, for which I was charged and recently convicted by the CPS and magistrates court even without evidence proving such allegations. In fact the recording from her daughter proved I was trying to calm the situation and my wife was being aggressive. But as the normal in cases like this as I'm the man I must have done this just because my wife and daughter said so. I lost my job in August last year (made redundant) for which my wife blamed me, and only 3 days before the argument she and her daughter gained British citizenship! For the last 6 months I have had limited access to my son, and now my wife is trying to get that stopped for 6 months (to have no contact at all) as she has now told her lawyers I behaved inappropriate to her daughter and made racist comments! All this is because I am appealing the decision, as even the prosecutor thought I should have been found innocent. I honestly believed it was meant to be "innocent until proven guilty" but quite the opposite when it comes to a women and daughter's word against one man! Now I don't know what to do, I have a lawyer which costs a fortune but still I get accused of more each time a court date is nearing.

3 years ago my wife went to a party at a female colleges house. At 10 past 1 in the morning she phoned me and sounded panicked and strange. She stated that she didn't feel right and weird. I told her I would be there in 5 minutes and told her to leave and wait for me outside. I arrived and witnessed her being led away by the man of the house. Other things occurred and to cut a long story short I couldn't get into the house for 25 minutes and I have strong belief that she was raped by her female colleges husband.I wanted to beat him to a pulp but said nothing thinking my wife would speak to me about it.
I eventually got her home but she states that she didn't phone me and that she has no knowledge of what I'm suggestion.
Since then she has became abusive,violent and repeatedly accused me of domestic abuse if I try to talk about what I saw. She has told me if I speak about it to anyone she will divorce me.
She has told our adult children a pack of lies and continually winds them up saying I'm abusing her and this has led to me being assaulted by her and them on numerous occasions. Despite trying to be honest with the kids they refuse to listen to anything I say as she has convinced them I'm nuts.
Things came to a head between Xmas and new year past and I informed her that after new year was past I would be leaving and filing for divorce.
She was like a woman possessed for 3 days. I was repeatedly assaulted but this had been the usual for some time and I was on the verge of moving out so done my best to ignore her.
In the early hours of 3 Jam she was again kicking off and attempted to leave the house with 2 knives threatening that she was going to her herself.
I stood in her way and refused to let her leave and she eventually threw the knifes down and walked away,I injured.I hid the knives outside and when I returned she had a small cut on her chin,which she was pulling apart with her hands. She got the blood flowing and went and woke my eldest son stating I had attacked her.
Together they became abusive and threatening and I left to go for cigarettes in the car. When I got back the police were at the house.
I was detained,arrested and have spent the last 9 months in bail for a crime I didn't commit.
Can't be at home and all that goes with it. I have been reliabley informed that the crown have stopped proceedings but 6 weeks later I have not had any official notification.
Jaguar 13/10/2015 at 4:47 am
I am being falsely accused of domestic violence and I always have people following me.when all I did was work for 16-18 hours a day for 5 Ana half years to spoil my son and fiancé and her other eight kids by different dads that I help support and now one of her 15 yearvold twins had a baby which I bought everything for . please investigate a little before you guys make a big mistake and separate my son and I for no reason. Just a little investigating will go along way.
lumpy 11/10/2015 at 10:46 am
My ex partners behaviour has got worse since we broke up a fortnight ago....he has falsely accused me of being abusive toward him when he has spent 10 yrs abusing me physically, emotionally and financially. He now has a harrassment order issued against him because he was coming into the house everyday and trying to force me to sign our daughter over to him...his reason?? Not because he loves her, but because he seems to think having her live with him will get him a bigger house from the council and more housing benefit! I'm scared because I have aspergers and I know that I'm a capable parent but I also know that social services and the legal system are very ignorant of my condition, and as thus I know they will probably take his side...he warned me when he was abusing me in the relationship that if I ever left he would report me to social and try and take my kids away or get sole custody. He's even rang the police on me before when he has started an argument and then hit me and covered my mouth. Worse still he is involving his stupid misinformed friends and they are encouraging him to drag me through court and "fight dirty". I don't want him to take my kids he doesn't even bloody love them he just wants to use them to get under my skin and further control me...he has got even worse since I've told him there is no hope of reconciliation. Honestly what am I meant to do please help me.
SeparatedDads Editor 07/10/2015 at 11:58 am
You don't say how old your son is. If he is over the age of 11, then Cafcass, and the courts would take his opinion into consideration about who he wanted to live with and spend time with. If you have always had a strong relationship with your son, then hopefully the relationship will sustain any bad-mouthing and allegations. There really isn't very much you can do here, if your son refuses to visit. I can only suggest you take a step back and slowly, by keeping the lines of communication open, and letting your son know you are there for him, try and re-build any bridges that may have been damaged through false allegations, and/or the incident you mentioned. Taking it to court may not be worthwhile just yet, especially if your son has specified that he no longer wants to visit, as the court may take his opinions on board.
Srf4321 06/10/2015 at 11:12 am
I have split with my ex 8 years ago and have had regular contact with my son since. My ex has Bipolar and has serious alcohol problems, her partner also drinks and they have been fighting around my son. She has had the police called to her house regularly due to fights with her partner and social services we're called. 6 months ago I used my perantal rights and took my son full time. He stayed with me for 4 months and was happy. We started introducing unsupervised visitso and his behaviour started changing, he ran out of school twice and tried to run away from my home. At which point I told him off and carried him in. I took him round to his mumson the next day and my ex made a false alacation of me intentionally hurtingredients my son to his school and said he wasn't coming back. The police we're contacted but theyou didn't take it any further. She has not only made up a horrific story but is also poisoning my son against me as he dose not want to visit anymore. My sons and I have always a strong bond but honestly not sure what route to take? as there could be more falsely accused allocations made.
Can'twin 23/09/2015 at 9:59 pm
That's it she just wanted me away temporary. She knows what she's doing since my charges was dropped again I questioned her why she keeps making up lies to about me to the police and her response was you bring it on yourself sometimes. Iv been in touch with my solicitor and the police and keep getting pushed from pillow to post I fought having the proof on cctv they would want to act on her false accusations but all they seemed to be bothered about was not being able to prosecute me. It's a joke
supremecy 21/09/2015 at 12:51 pm
Thing with DV or any call by women is its taken serious and the police need very little evidence to lick a man up and then serve bail conditions on him keeping him away from his children for months and ultimately kicking him out his own house and making him homeless forever more, I understand some women need real protection but does this serve justice on a first offence or if the women just wants him out her life temporarily?
Can'twin 19/09/2015 at 2:54 am
I split with wife about a year ago and since then she has lied to the police on 4 occasions to get me arrested. She knows I would never lay a finger on her to harm her as well. The last time I was arrested she had told the police I had grabbed her by the hair in a local pub and I was bailed awaiting the cctv which I was happy about thinking now I could eventually proof my innocence and justice would be done. I made bail last week and was told I was being released without charge with no mention of the cctv or any action being taken on my ex for lying again. Iv gave up with the stupid system now. The 3 other occasions I had been falsely accused ended exactly the.same released without charge but they where my word against hers this last time they had the proof and it seems like once they learned I had done no wrong they weren't bothered. 17 hours I spent in the cells each time and worried now when she will do it again. It's ridiculous and I can't win
Jon 16/09/2015 at 6:38 pm
My situation is similar, but my ex is a barrister, (newly qualified), can anyone comment on whether there is any recourse for a post aquital restraining order with consent, ...if it can be shown that witness statement by the crazy ex was fabricated to suit, crazy ex made allegations which resulted in me being charged and bailed , and then at the same time she launched proceedings in the family courts that I had to attend whilst on bail, the allegations were for domestic violence, but the CPS offered a post aquital restraining order which I was advised to take,
The statements made to the family courts by my ex clearly contradict the criminal statments, and it's clearly evident that they were intended to mislead, can anyone offer any advice on how I proceed to clear my name, i can't quite believe that the courts can be manipulated in this way!

Daughteronamission 15/09/2015 at 1:34 pm
I need help, my dad has recently split from his wife, she got an injunction on him, but everything in it is false or over exaggerated. What I need help on is two things really,
1. My 15 year old sister has decided alone that she wants to stay with my dad, they are currently homeless and have nowhere to live, he has gone to the council but they have said that my sister can go back to the family home but she doesn’t want to and as a fifteen year old girl you’d think that she could make up her own mind, but the council have said to my dad they will only rehouse him a s a single man. Which means they won’t for my sister, the council told my dad to get a letter from her mum, but she’s refused to and they said or he can go to the social but they waved away his case...Any advice?
2. My dad’s ex’s friend has been sending me messages, slandering my dad and has accused him of things that he hasn’t done, for example, threatening her to her face, but to be honest he’s hardly left the house where’s he’s been staying at. She’s also being mean to my 11 year old sister and we have texts to prove this. What could I do?
Sickwithworry 14/09/2015 at 12:37 am
I am a woman who's partner has been wrongly accused, with little evidence, of assaulting me. But the police don't care. I was shouting at him at our front door, then barged past him into the house. But 2 16 year old boys said I was dragged by my hair to the ground and kicked several times to the body. We have both explained to the police that it was an arguement and nothing else. I had no marks on my body what so ever to back up these claims. My neighbours were interviewed and never heard a thing, even though I was apparently screaming. Yet he has been charged with domestic assault. I am at my wits end. I can't eat, I can't sleep. He has been bailed to another address, and fortunately the Sheriff has allowed full access to me, our baby, and our home during the day, but I am a complete wreck that it can even go this far, and that he may be jailed over nothing! The police have completely patronised me, trying to get me to say something to implement him, telling me im deluded and to get a new partner. He is confident this will get thrown out of court, but I can't be confident in a system that arrests and charges innocent men on the words of 2 little boys over any proper evidence. I can't sit back and let this play out. I need to do everything in my power to fight for his innocence. Diet is in 3 weeks and trial in 7. He was charged on Wednesday there.
Paddy 11/09/2015 at 3:08 am
I have been seperated from my ex wife for three years and have suffered physical enotional and mental abuse from her throught the marraige and after, everytime i have sought medical help for my son as there have been two occasions where serious concern for his safery she has caused a conflict and taken me to clurt to gain a non molestation order this is the second time this has happened now but this time i was physically attacked by her in my garden infront of my current partner and her two children, my ex wife had me in a head lock punching me in the face and where i was struggling to breathe i flaid my arms teying to get out of it and caught her mouth the police arrested me but no charges were made as they said there was no case to answer as i was innocent. But now she has taken me to covil court and they are teying to charge me with gbh with intent in a civil court and have stopped my contact with my son until the next court date. Has anyone got any advice or experience in this sort of incidient. Thanks in advance
SeparatedDads Editor 09/09/2015 at 12:06 pm
Being arrested four times for harrassment is rather a lot and will only add to your record and give your ex the ammunition she needs in order to prevent access to your daughter. The best course of action for you is to stay away from your ex and approach the matter via the courts. However, the general approach is one that is laid out in the article, When Your Ex-Partner Denies You Access, whichYou also may need to seek some legal advice. I hope this helps.
pdpaul1922 08/09/2015 at 10:12 am
I am currently trying to gain access to my son but my ex had me arrested for assaulting her. I was released with no charge as i was able to produce photos of a black eye she gave me on the night of the alleged incident. Trouble is she seems to get away with it she has mental health issues and plays the victim so well. She is working with the domestic abuse service. She set up contact at a contact centre then pulled it a few days later on the grounds she thought i was a danger to my boy. I have an elder son who stays with me 2 nights a week without any problems. I am now looking into mediation but suspect on the back of these ridiculous accusations she will refuse this. Does anyone know if i can quash these allegations as i feel she is tainting my otherwise good name. Would it be worth me sighting the same against her i.e assault as she did hit me and controlled me even to the point of what i wore, who i saw and when. I have been arrested 4 times on assault and harassment charges and interviewed 3 times its becoming very difficult as my work is affected and i cannot plan anything in case the police come for me.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved

I received a call from my sister, asking me to come to sydney , to care for my brother who attempted suicide, my ex helped me pack , called my old work, phoned friends, called my work and my parents who were over seas, texted me everyday , even wrote a card saying how proud she was I was in sydney caring for my brother she even thanked god for her wonderful husband.
4 weeks into my stay, she called to tell me she had us seperated at centre link to receive benifits for my son and herself, she told me to keep my mouth shut and no one would find out.
Not only was she reciving thousands of dollars from me each week as I took on a casual job in sydney , she recived all my holiday pay from my work, I even in that time paid for a holiday to Melbourne cup.
I was advised to get her to stop or end it as its punishable by 2 years prison.
2 weeks later I ended it, By email. What I can only describe as pure revenge, 9 hours later I was in hand cuffs facing false accusations of a number of things that were not true. I proved with out doubt I was innocent though I still had to go to court.
now pay attention people, fearing my ex would get in trouble for stealing from the government, I consented to the AVO . Dumbest thing I ever did.
11 months later now, I've had zero contact with my son.
Im about to present my case to family court as she still claims I abused her and is claiming we seperated the day I came to sydney to care for my brother.
I'm also submitting to federal investigation a lot of evidence of her fraud.
This is what im scratching my head about, why is she wanting to go to court , im only asking for 2 days of care each week, the evidence is overwhelming that what im saying is the truth... is family court really that one sided , she used my baby boy to falsly obtain benefits from the Australian people.
She is going to lie in a federal court to cover up a federal crime.
Im sorry but she really has no fear of doing this. What do you need to do to be prosecuted for lying.
I just want to see my baby boy, I never wanted it to get this far.
Ive got a great lawyer and I pray they will give me a fair trial.
DTR 05/08/2015 at 6:07 pm
Well it happened to me 2 weeks ago! Partner accused me of strangling her. Then after I was arrested on suspicion of assault, got called out the cell to be told I was now under suspicion of GBH as she said I'd been strangling her for months and also stole her money so got the suspicion of theft thrown at me!

Now luckily for me, I had old texts which show this isn't the first time she's done this and also the resulting aftermath of apologies from her and acknowledging she made it all up to hurt me (she has suffered with mental health issues) and I've been smart enough to record all calls on my mobile as she normally denies doing and saying these things in the past!

Still, I kept to the truth in the interview and could back up everything I said with either texts, calls or from her support network (social services, cpn, medical,ect).

I'm now left in limbo for a month whilst they investigate, not allowed home and frankly have no idea what is going on!
My solicitor has reassured me that the allegations should be NFA'd as her account doesn't add up plus the evidence on my phone to show what she said was all lies.

Now fingers crossed, this will all be cleared up but that still doesn't leave me in a good place! When I'm allowed home, I know I can't trust her and I will be thinking "When's she going to do it again?"
Don't worry, relationship is over after this yet the house is in both our names so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!
I do have a number to call and apparently this solicitor is top notch in dealing with things like this.

Still doesn't help me with how I feel towards women now, the lost 24 hrs of my life I'll never get back or the homelife which is now in tatters.


All I can say to anyone who has been falsely accused: Keep your messages and install software on YOUR phone to prove your innocence. Back it all up once in a while so your phone doesn't run out of space.

Trust me - you'll be glad you did and it will make all the difference.


I must also say that I'm for the law in the UK and fully get why they have to treat each call serious. What I do hope after this is she is arrested for perverting the course of justice and wasting police time.
Otherwise what's to stop her doing it again and some other poor innocent actually does get found guilty??
Niki 26/07/2015 at 7:49 pm
My brothers has been falsely charged of ABH and will go to the crown court in August. She has lied to the social services about incidences that have happened in our house when the children have been up, and had stopped him from seeing his children she states from the advice of them. However when we rang them they told us the case worker was on holidays and has not spoken to her for more than a week. Furthermore she has told many of my family members lies that she had broken ribs and had gone to the hospital for an x Ray despite the fact that she was dancing the day after the alleged offence. Would my brother be able to report her for these offences if all goes well in the trial?
Yadigogo 21/07/2015 at 7:38 pm
I want to make this as short but as clear as possible.
My ex husband was arrested for rape in November 2014. His still wife at the time (which were going through a divorce aswell) accused him of rape. She called the cops after having a verbal argument with my one of my daughters. At the time of the call she never mentioned or said anything about rape. She told them there was a domestic dispute with her husband's daughter.
He was arrested, my daughters (2) were removed from the home and taken by CPS. The wife went to a hospital for a rape test that night. My Ex was bailed out the next day my daughters were released to me and the nightmare began.
My ex and daughters were not allowed back into the home not even to get their things due to a restraining order leaving them homeless. They were forced to live at a family's friend house until the girls finished the school year (June 2015). My ex has been in and out of court since December 2014 with no positive outcome. (Did I mention the wife works for the DA?) also none of her statements match. All reports say different DATES, statements of the event are different. Everything she's said in INCONSISTENT! The rape kit came back negative for everything except for a small mark on the side which could've been cause by underwear.
All in all its been stressful and very costly for my ex. Not to mention the heartache and trauma its cost our daughters.
Last court was on July 8th 2015 and they offer him a plea bargain which he didn't take of course. He is willing to go to trial to prove his innocence. This woman shows all the patterns of a disturb and money greedy person.
What other actions should his lawyer or him take in order to prove him innocent of all this? And if proven innocent can he turn around and sue her?

I have been in a volatile relationship with my partner for 5 years and have 2 children and basicly she runs me down and blackmails me over everything . She keeps saying she wants me to go when we argue and that i will never see my kids so I give in to her comands when I do say I want to go and go to leave she says she's ringing the police on me then for domestic violence and that I will deffo get done as I have been to prison for gbh in the past for a pub fight with a male 6 years ago . Worst thing is she broke her leg on the stairs a few months ago and now says she will get me done for that as well . So I'm pretty much trapped in hell I want to go deep down but I know she I so beliveable and even sends me sick texts saying she will tell people what I done to her . I want to go but know she must hate me so bad to do this and I know she is serious about it .... what can I do to secure proof that she is lying about things as I just want to get out of the relationship even if I get done for something I haven't done it just gets me out of this hell please help me thanks

My ex partner took my children out the house while I was away to the shops. Now I've been charged for child cruelty and assault I'm gutted I've got to go for drug tests and my whole life has been turned upside down. Everyone has turned against me he abused me mentally emotionally and sexualy I don't have a clue where to start with all of this he comes across as being so so nice and laid back but that was not the way it was and now he can't do no wrong.
SeparatedDads Editor 10/07/2015 at 12:25 pm
@Desperate dad - I am sorry to hear this, but it is impossible to say whether the court will believe her lies or not, or what it would take for you to be refused access. Every court and every case is different. However, the courts are accustomed to dealing with these sorts of issues and should be able to see through her stories, if she is telling lies.
Desperate dad 08/07/2015 at 11:17 am
Hi i not seen my daughter in 4 months and i been court twice with my ex, she lied 100% about domestic abuse, we have a fact finding hearing in august, i have proof of her lies, i just want to know what would it take gor a court to deny me any access, thanks
SeparatedDads Editor 03/07/2015 at 2:28 pm
@Nic - I'm afraid you would have to take legal advice on this question.
Nic 02/07/2015 at 1:48 pm
My ex claimed domestic abuse and went into a refugee with my children. She got a free house and moved into if late 2013. She allowed me to see my children after 3 month of having no clue where they were. Then over Christmas she allowed 12 hours to see them. I took her to court to see my children regularly and she claimed domestic abuse. It took 10 month to prove she was lying and got a finding of fact, and a court order for my children. She has broke the court order twice since January 2015. She has filed for divorce which is brilliant however she has used behaviour as her reason. She has listed allegations from the finding of fact that I proved wrong. If I agree to it what does this mean for seeing my children as I've not seen them again for 6 weeks.
bdy 02/07/2015 at 11:47 am
I was married to my ex wife for 10 years and was regularly abused physically, mentally, and emotionally. I was too terrified to do anything about it, and when told by people to get away from her, I would try and make excuses for her behaviour. I finally took the massive step, and fled from her in May 2011. I spent my life savings on a court order to see my children which she regularly breached. On Boxing Day 2013 I went to pick my children up from her at the arranged collection point, and she physically attacked me. I drove away without my children, and phoned the police about the assault. One hour later two police officers turned up, and arrested me for allegedly assaulting her. They advised me that as far as the police force of my county is concerned, if there is any form of altercation between a man and a woman, then it is their policy that the man is always guilty. It went to court; I had a legal aid solicitor as I could not afford a proper one, and she didn't care if the case was won, lost, or drawn, as she would still get paid. My ex wife got someone she knows to claim that she was present at the time, and that they had never met before - both statements of which were completely untrue. I had exact details of my ex wife being reported to the police previously, by someone who had seen her assault me - officers name, number, date and time of the report. The police claimed they had no knowledge of this, and could not find it. I was convicted of assault by the judge who took my ex wife's side as she had a "witness". I have since been looking for full time employment, and nobody will touch me because I have a criminal record now. My legal aid solicitor advised me at the time not to appeal, as she said I would get an even more severe sentence. I've now not seen my children for over two and a half years. It kills me inside every day, but I don't know what to do. Help....
SeparatedDads Editor 19/06/2015 at 1:51 pm
@profound loss - I'm afraid when emotions become heightened at times of a relationship split, it quite often ends like this, with fathers being accused of things that far outweigh the actual events. However, simultaneously, there are many domestic disputes that are genuine, especially if one party is intimidating the other, sometimes without realising how far they are actually going. She can begin divorce proceedings without the proof. The only advice I can suggest is to stay away from your ex for the moment, until the heat dies down. You may have to go through the courts to obtain access, if she refuses to allow it. Please see article: When Your Ex-Partner Denies You Access, here. I hope this helps.
profound loss 17/06/2015 at 2:17 pm
On the 31 May 2015, my wife returned from a half term trip to a 'family friend'. She had taken my 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter. As soon as she walked into the house she told me to leave the house keys and get out. She threatened to make it difficult unless I did as I was told. As she had phoned the police on two previous occasions (claiming that she only did it to teach me a lesson), I decided I would call the police first. As soon as she saw that I wasn't going to leave, she had started chatting to someone on the phone and was being given advice. She then proceeded to phone the police herself, and they arrived promptly as she had called them twice before over the last 2 years. She then started to cry in front of the police and claimed I was giving her 'mental torture'. Whilst one cop was chatting to me, the other was chatting to her downstairs. She also rushed my two children downstairs, as if implying that some argument or violence had perhaps occurred. The other cop then came upstairs and advised me that I would have to leave as my name was not on the tenancy agreement. My wife, now evidently recovered from her feigned trauma, quickly produced the tenancy agreement (which was conveniently in the front pocket of her holiday suitcase). I questioned the police as to why I was being asked to leave as I hadn't done anything. But the police told me I had to leave or they'd have to arrest me. I have been sleeping on my mum's sofa, and have sought legal advice. I can't believe that it is so easy to make false allegations and leave a father homeless. I am due to see my son's school headteacher tomorrow, who has kindly volunteered to mediate for me. However, I can't accept that my wife can simply make these allegations and get a separation/divorce. Surely, she must have proof of domestic violence to get legal aid for divorce proceedings?
SeparatedDads Editor 15/06/2015 at 12:52 pm
@Mah - you would have to apply through the courts for a C4 form, which is an application for an order for disclosure of a child's whereabouts.
Mah 12/06/2015 at 2:51 pm
Hi. I really need help. My partner recently had me arrested with allegations of domestic violence. This is after 9 years of a marriage made in hell. We live with my elderly parents and she absolutely hates them. I find out now that she has been terrorising them for a long time but because they have nowhere else to go they bore it in silence. For 2 days before i was arrested she was arguing about anything and everything under the sun. She accused me of not caring because I was preoccupied with my father, who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. There is a lot more background to this which I won't go into because its a very long story. On the day of my arrest we got into another argument. I tried to leave to avoid the confrontation but she barred my way and kept grabbing onto my arm. I managed to push her away and left the room. Next thing I know she stormed out of the house with my 4 year old daughter in tow. Half an hour later the police arrive to arrest me because she has gone to the nursery and told them that i had assaulted her. By this point she is now sporting a scratch on her ear which I believe she has done herself to get me into trouble. I was held in a cell for 12 hours and when I came out found she has disappeared with my 2 children, taking a whole lot of valuables from the house and all of my documentation with her. 2 days have passed now and I have no news of my children. I am in the process of engaging an experienced family solicitor. Can anyone tell me how I go about finding out about my children? Surely as a father I have the same rights as she does. I have never been away from my children for a whole day. I am in so much torment with worry about what they are going through. I know social services are involved but how do I find my children?
Dunk 08/06/2015 at 10:59 am
My partner and I had an argument and her mothered phoned the police from her own address the police turned up and interiewed my partner who was upset and made everything up. I left by the time the police came but tt are wanting to charge me with a breach of the peace an a domestic my partner has took back her statement and told police she made it up due to the heat of the moment
, can the police interview me in my own house rather than take me to the station or if I get taken to the station what are my rights about getig police bail?

I have now been charged with assaulting my wife who is originally from Colombia. I now understand that this is the first stage for them to obtain an Abuse Visa. Once you have been arrested it’s very difficult to get the authorities to take any notice of you. It only came to my attention once the false allegation was made as my Colombian wife spoke to some friends of our just before the wedding stating that the marriage would not work and she know what her right are in the Uk. My trail will come up in September so now trying to get evidence to show that it was her motive and the charges are connected. I have read many documents about this and from what many friends have told me I have been set up. Statement to this effect have been taken by my solicitor.
SeparatedDads Editor 03/06/2015 at 12:42 pm
@Steve - I am sorry to hear this, but I'm afraid I couldn't advise on such a personal matter. You would have to seek professional legal advice in order to see what your options are, and which would allow you to make an informed decision.
Steve 31/05/2015 at 7:51 pm
I am currently going through a divorce which my wife file against me. She left the house some 3 months ago and rented a flat. We have a 3 year old son which we have shared care of. During this time she refused mediation after meeting we set up, sort help from women's aid for mental abuse, and taken my son to see a health care adviser because she believes that i have caused him emotional distress due to a relationship that i am now in with another women. Last week she moved back to the family home and has really antagonized me with the main even coming to a head this weekend when she came home drunk, threw the internet router off our balcony, threw a glass of wine in my face and assaulted me. I was not physically harmed or wounded but due to her violent behavior i decided managed to get hold of my little one a flee the house but she reang the police. I returned the next morning with a police escort to prevent a breach of the peace and found that she was with her"partner" of whom i was not aware of. they had clearly gotten verry drunk as there were wine bottles everywhere. I am now at my parents house and am unsure how to proceed. Do I report her for assault? should I keep hold of my son? The house is owned by her. What rights do I have? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@dadof2: yeah it is a non molestation order and she got it without me knowing, she told 100% lies to get the injunction, I have loads of text and recorded phone calls that is absolute proof of her lies, It took me three days to type up the transcript for the calls, the court has them,
Dadof2 Editor 30/05/2015 at 2:16 am
@Desperate dad Your daughter will remember you. Don't worry about that. Was the injunction a non molestation order and was it granted ex parte??
Desperate dad 27/05/2015 at 7:27 pm
Hi thankyou for your previous advice, it helped a lot, my ex claim domestic violence and got an injunction against me and not let me see our 2 year old daughter, we have a court date next week and my solicitor has said I will get some sort of access, and i'm just wondering if my 2 year old daughter will remember me, or will I have to start over again, it's been 3 months now, I was with my daughter everyday untill 3 months ago

@tcd - yes it is blackmail. I would keep this text and any other correspondence that she has sent which substantiates this and report it to the police.

My ex has had me charged with 3 accounts of assualt by beating , its just a lie in an attempt to have me removed from our joint tennancy ,its all lies and despite bail conditions she has sent a text telling me she will drop the charges if i sign the house over to her.... isnt this blackmail?

Hi, I was I feel falsely set up by my ex we and her family of assault on her and daughter. I was hit with a perfume bottle and blood was pouring eyes. I pushed ex wife in self defence. I was removed from family home and charged. I never went back despite the CPS giving me a notice of discontinuance as lack of evidence to support their claims. I did not press charges against her as was thinking of my son. I did continue to care for my son and pay mortgage etc..this was in 2007. To cut a long story short we are going through a financial settlement and she has turned nasty. stating attacked her and her daughter and she dropped the charges due to it being extremely distressing and difficult to deal with. can I do something now to prevent her from saying this albeit clear my name. is it to late to take her to court for assault?
big mac 28/04/2015 at 3:56 pm
I separated in 2013 after my wife took out an injunction and had me kicked out of my house. She has done nothing but lie, use the children as a pawn, refused me access until I took her to court. I went to a contact centre then all of a sudden she has allowed access only because she is due in court for breaking a contact order twelve times. She lies to the kids calls me to them, she manipulates the kids and uses emotional blackmail. She is not a decent mother like she wants people to think
Intact she lies that much she doesn't know what the truth is. My kids have been emotionally abused by her
RK Editor 20/04/2015 at 4:06 am
@Help
Had the same happening to me 6 weeks ago. My wife went to police, left the house with the kids, and 3 weeks later i received an email from a citizen's advice reccomemded lawyer, on behalf of my wife, accusing me in a 6 page epistel of the most terrible things. As it had turned out, based on her statement her lawyer had went to family court and received a same day non-molestation and occupancy order, for a year! I did not get an email, phone call, nothing from police or court before that date. Could not go back to the house, see the kids, etc. A hearing was scheduled for 3 weeks later(last tuesday), and there was the first opportunity to share my story on the events listed. Judge turned like a leaf and forced my wife into 'undertakings', annulling the orders.
Now my question is, is there a way for me to go after her for a false statement? Contrary to her, i have a lot of evidence(emails, sms's, etc) to prove that the majority of what she stated, is a full lie. How could i pursue this? Could i file for perjury or contempt of court or something?
Thanks.
SeparatedDads Editor 16/04/2015 at 11:48 am
@Help - I'm afraid this is a common occurance, which as specified in the article, you would hope that in this country you are ‘innocent until proven guilty’. However, the truth is that sometimes people can get charged and found guilty for domestic violence on very little evidence. You may be able to get some support via the website Wrongly Accused here. I hope this helps.
Help 15/04/2015 at 10:56 am
I have been falsely accused of domestic violence. My ex partner has done this so that she can get UK residency. it seems the police have believed every lie she has said and it seems like the law accept falsehood more than the truth, I feel I'm losing a battle trying to tell the truth. There seems to be no acceptance or justice for truth.

Is there anyone with advise that can help me please.

Thank you
SeparatedDads Editor 10/04/2015 at 11:48 am
@Desperate Dad - I am sorry to hear this. You can self-litigate in a Family Law Court, see Legal Aid Withdrawal: How to Represent Yourself, whichGood preparation is key as the court likes things to run smoothly and efficiently, as if they don't it is is a waste of court time and wont do you any favours. You may also be able to get help from a McKenzie Friend see link Using a McKenzie Friend in Court, here. In the meantime and regarding your injunction, the Citizens Advice Bureau or a McKenzie Friend may be able to give some advice. I hope this helps.

My ex gf dissapeared with our 2 year old daughter 5 weeks ago, and I have no way of getting hold of her, she has now got an injunction on me claiming domestic vilonce, which is 100 per cent false, I have to go to court next week for a review of the injunction, I cant afford a solicitor, all I want is to see my daughter, any help would be very apretiated,
SeparatedDads Editor 09/04/2015 at 11:49 am
@stubby16 - I am sorry to hear this, but I am afraid there is nothing you can 'do' except wait and see whether any charges are to be made against you. You don't say how old the child is and what state his condition is in currently or at the time, as all will have to be assessed by the doctors and police if it comes to it. As specified in the article if you do speak to a lawyer, tell them the truth because if you are coy, or uncooperative, they are not going to be able to advise you properly. I hope this helps.
stubby16 07/04/2015 at 7:50 am
My girlfriend has a son that I have taken as mine. I took him for a drive tonight and bundled him up tight because it was cold out. When I got home he began crying later really oddly when we pulled him out he had a mark on his neck and was very pale. Her mother took him to the ER and I'm afraid me bundling him up may have given him heat stroke or suffocated him by accident. She thinks I suffocated him on purpose. I am so scared that I will be prosecuted for thiS when I have done nothing to him. Idk what to do.
Chris Editor 08/04/2015 at 12:08 pm
@jobie - it might be in your best interests to take this to court and try to get an arranged court order to see your child. However, the injunction may be held against you, especially if your ex wants to be awkward, you will need to be mindful about how you approach the situation. But if you can build up a case to show that you have been having your son every weekend and if you can illustrate how you are taking you parenting seriously, then this should go in your favour.
jobie 05/04/2015 at 1:42 pm
I've recently split with my wife a year ago. We have a 3 year old son together. After we split she got a injuntion on me by making up loads of lies saying I'm violent and loads of lies when there is no evidence that i ever have. Now the injunction as ran out despite that I've hady son every weekend and pay csa. And she just thretens me every time I don't do what she says. Saying I've got to see a solicitor to see my son what should I do ?N

My ex has taken my 2 year old son away and refuses any contact. On checking my phone records I noticed that she had been calling domestic abuse teams in Cornwall 200 miles away. She has no family or friends there she's juts using it as a chance of relocating. She has a history of alcohol abuse and has assaulted me twice with the police being involved on both occasions. She had written letters to my neighbours and the local school claiming that k was controlling be her because I didn't think it was normal to come home from work only to find her drunk most nights. I've also a ten year old daughter from another relationship that I see regularly, 5 nights in 14 so surely the authorities would see that I'm a good father? I'm now arranging a mediation session for myself before trying to gain contact via court but this is so wrong.

Me and my girlfriend have unfortunately had our baby just about to be taken from us by local authority.my girlfriend was an alcoholic and drank through her pregnancy. She unfortunately has other issues but had understood after the fact than no woman should ever drink while pregnant.there are a lot of doffrent problems to her being raped.her x boyfroend killed himself. Then her children from previous relationship were taken from her while she was under the mental health act.she has not helped herself but the system has let her down to.i use to smoke cannibis but no longer do that.but ive been accused of hitting her on the grounds of a hospital whileshe was ppregnant.i would never hit my girlfriend or anyone.i am not that type of person
My girlfriend has also told them that there has never been incidents of domestic violence.but social service said someone of authority had seen me.i was probably trying to hold her up or stop her from waving her hands at me but I would never do anthing like that to her and my unborn child its just insane

@lynds - I think you would be better talking to someone directly as it sounds as though your situation has gone from bad to worse. Family Lives may be able to help, It's advisors are non-judgemental and will hopefully be able to give you some constructive advice. I hope this helps.
lynds 26/03/2015 at 10:26 pm
Reading these stories shows how many people are affected by the Social Services. I wish you all well. My story is so extreme if I hadn't lived it myself I wouldn't believe it possible.
my ex b.f was a monster a couple of examples are- he nearly blinded me after stabbing me in the stomach. The police were hopeless and after neighbours called them several times I was given a number to call. Eventually This lead to a bed in a hostel. It was dirty, full of prostitutes, drug addicts and dealers. I wouldn't let my dog sleep their. Luckily I met my now husband and left the psycho. My husband's ex wasn't happy. She Made our lives unbearable. The police kicked the door in 3times after she lied saying we had drugs on the premises. Obviously they didn't find anything but that means they have to replace our door. So they found a barrel from a syringe (no needle), still in packet, out of reach & sight. It was from the medicine I gave my dog. But they didn't care. I complained a "investigation" was made (supposedly) and thought no more of it. The raids had stopped. long story short I feared for my child's safety and called social services the idiots didn't help my child. They told my ex not to let my baby visit my home, where I raised her for7year. All because a police form stated I had needles all over my house. Theyd never even been to my house. They just made false accusations and left my daughter in danger. I don't have a criminal record I've worked at the Same place for20years. Looked after my daughter while her mother dissapeared for days. I asked for help and my life was ruined. What can I do??

spittingblood 26/03/2015 at 12:48 am
As a survivor of domestic violence with the broken bones and scars to prove it, I find it utterly incomprehensible how women can blatantly lie about abuse and be taken at face value. Although my abuse took place over 10 yrs ago now I regularly had to call the police and have visits to the hospital. My ex got off every time, with the police just removing him to his mother's. How is then possible to falsely accuse someone and be taken seriously. The system is all wrong somehow. My ex has gone on to be a prolific woman beater and has escaped justice time and again but then there are these poor men that have done nothing and are dragged to court surely they have to have proof of bruises hospital visits and such like. When a man batters a woman trust me he leaves bruises and sometimes broken bones. I personally detest these kinds of women who make it harder for genuine victims to get help especially if they are taking up space in a safe house that a desperate family may need urgently.
SeparatedDads Editor 20/03/2015 at 2:44 pm
@Luce - you are doing all the right things which is gatehring evidence of her reciprocal messaging. However, she may be doing the same and gathering evidence of your son's texts etc, so he needs to be aware that he should only contact her when necessary and only refer to issues regarding his daughter and her welfare. I hope this helps.
Luce 18/03/2015 at 9:06 pm
My partner has a 5 year old girl and he has been separated from his ex wife for 2 years. He has gone through the divorce; has set access dates and got financial consent orders all sorted. All of a sudden, his ex has decided that he is harrassing her. She decided this on a whim. She accused him of this when she messaged him independently to say she wasn't taking his daughter swimming and if he wants a say in it, he had to put his hand in his pocket. He then received messages off her partner saying he was not to contact his ex and he had know right to know about his daughter's wellbeing and progression. The next day however, his ex texted him to say that his daughter got on well at school. In fact she has texted him nearly everyday since the accusation to say about her wellbeing. We thought that the whole situation blew over when out of the blue her solicitor wrote to my partner saying he was harrassing his ex and sending unnecessary information etc. We have responded by printing his exs and his messages for the last 6 months and provided evidence that his ex regularly messages him of his own accord and showing when she has tried to use his daughter as a weapon. We have compiled evidence from messaging from: his ex, himself, his ex's partner; call logs showing that his ex has phoned him and also I have written witness accounts for many situations over the last 6 months and a character reference. Is there anything else you can suggest to fight out corner? She is now trying to stop him doing homework with his own daughter!!!
SeparatedDads Editor 19/03/2015 at 3:06 pm
@LostMyChild - is this domestic violence issue going to court? It is a bit difficult to advise on not knowing this. If it is not going to court, then the only thing you can do really is apply for a contact order to see your child through the courts.

I'm in a situation where I can't do anything, (long story short) been accused of domestic violence, the wife called me on the night she left saying she was staying at a friends house and was going to school with the kid the next day, the next day came no show for both of them later that night I got an email saying they're not returning, it's been 2months since I last saw them, I've held back all I could to avoid going down the suits direction to avoid any more tension as they would get the job done but at what cost? I still wish to patch things up but if that can't be done then that's the way it goes, I've been to the council, 30min solicitors session where I was quoted £300 to send an email to the refuge and online groups for help and advice but I feel like I'm going round in circles,. Since they left I had 3 emails from my wife, each of them I replied to within an instant of wanting to know what's going to happen in the future, each time I would get a different reply as if I was having a 1 sided conversation, I'm sure she isn't supposed to contact me whilst she's in the refuge but I'm sure. I've also got a friend to email the refuge headquarters asking if mediation is possible? My friend never heard anything from them, I'm moving out of my property at the end of March, all the wife's stuff is there aswel as my child's toys bed clothes books etc in one of the emails the wife asked me to put her stuff into storage but how can I afford this? All I want is contact with my child and a verbal agreement with the wife to decide on what we are going to do for the future, I've lasted 2 months now and have kept myself together since she left but cracks are settling in and hate is beginning to take over my emotion

This is the second time my partner has left and falsely accused me of beating her .Last time she ended in a safe house and was also given a mobile phone by the police and told not to contact me. But then after a week she phoned me herself, told me to pick her up from the safe house and came back home. We have 3 kids, not fair on them at all. she uses them against me. Her side of the family members all have history of violence, but the police nor anyone else take this in consideration.Its an unsafe environment for my kids. Herself she has self harmed in the past. Now she has done this again, got me arrested, charged, on bail now. I don't know where she is or my kids. I had to contact the schools to let them know as the kids haven't attended school. the law is totally wrong in this country!!!!!

i was falsely accused of assaulting my wife .. i left her .. and a month later i was charged with shoving her .. supposedly 6-7 months earlier .. when i went to court the judge turned and said .. how dare you contest these charges !! .. while my lawyer cross examined her .. she was caught lying 4-5 times in a row .. and then incriminating herself .. but the court did nothing .. his judgment was he didnt find the victim to have credibility .. since then this women has been charged twice for assaulting her boyfriends .. she's also been stabbed 4 times .. and has spent on 2 occasions in the mental hospital .. once for 2 months and the second stay for 4 months .. i've been single for 20 years .. and also got a vasectomy .. i have no children .. im afraid of women and the system .. oh well .. life goes on .. oh it cost me 4 days in prison and 10,000 dollars for my lawyer .. it's a nice business ..
SeparatedDads Editor 19/02/2015 at 1:02 pm
@JB - it is such a difficult issue and is one that many men are subjected to. I suggest he keeps all evidence to disprove these allegations. Mobile phone tracking devices are quite good for proving where he was at the time he was supposed to be committing this 'domestic violence'. The courts are aware of some mothers who will go to any lengths to prove such things. My advice is for him to keep away from her completely and do not correspond with her unless formally, keep a record of all texts, emails and voice messages, anything that can prove his innocence. You may want to post this question via our Separated Dads Facebook page, I'm sure there are a few dads on it who have been through the same and will know the best options. I hope this helps.
JB 17/02/2015 at 10:42 pm
My boyfriend has 2 children with his ex. They've been split up for quite some time now and they're not getting on very well. When we first started dating about 8 months ago, she accused him of domestic violence, he was arrested and couldn't see his children for 6 weeks or go near his home. He didn't do the things he was accused of and no charges were brought against him. Since then, the ex has been a mixture of refusing him access to the children one minute and telling him it's not too late to come back to her the next. She's having regular meetings with social services and lying about his (and my own) behaviour towards herself and the children. She's accusing him of alcoholism and heavy drug use - again neither of which are true. She's also lied to all of his family, who appear to believe he's done these things. Tonight, she called the police a second time and told them he's been hitting her.

I don't really know what to do from here. Is there anything we can do to make her stop making these false allocations? Are there any steps he can take to protect himself in the future? What's going to happen now? How are cases like these investigated?

I've read convictions can often be brought even with very little evidence other than the accusations of the "victim" - what's looked at in these circumstances?

My boyfriend doesn't have a history of violence and doesn't have a criminal record. In the first accusation and subsequent arrest, at the time the "incident" is said to have taken place he was with me and 40 other people at a party - he very obviously didn't do the things she'd accused him of but no charges were brought against her for misleading the police.

Without speaking to him, I don't know the details of the arrest this time round, but I'm sure it will be similar to the first time round.

Can she just continue falsely accusing him indefinitely? Could he end up going to prison for something he didn't do on the strength of a statement from someone who less than a year ago completely lied to the police about the exact same thing?

I don't know how the rest of you guys do it - I just know it's disgusting to lie about an issue that is so real for so many women.

There just HAS to be a way to safeguard ourselves and protect the kids legitimately and legally without it escalating any further.

@Kayy - I'm sorry to hear of your circumstances. Unfortunately, this is something we could not possibly advise on as we do not have the knowledge to anticipate what the police or CPS may choose to do. It sounds like you really need to speak to someone. I suggest you give Family Lives a call via whichYou will be able to speak to someone that may be able to advise you on your best way forward.

So for last few months iv been feeling really low , people kept telling ME to go to the doctors but I never did , my family kept on and on at me to leave my partner my child's dad , even though we were happy they knew how to get into my head, well they managed to get me to leave and they persuaded me to call the police on him

They found in his safe some penknives (he's had them for years never even got them out ) he's been charged with criminal damage a hole to the wall he says it wasn't him and I don't know if it was him or my family , he was on licence from a year ago he has been let out on bail , due to go back in 2 weeks , iv tried to withdraw my statement telling them I didn't want to do it and I felt pressured by my family they've said of I worhdraw I could be charged, iv just been diagnosed with post natal depression , do you think il be charged and do you think my boyfriend will be charged ? And if so any advice in what I can or should do ? We have a 1 year old , and I feel so lost and alone without him and I dont want him to go to prison :'(
Barry Editor 16/02/2015 at 10:58 am
@jacko - it is not about whether your ex said she never wanted communication from you, the charges will be about the form the texts took which you don't expand on. Under section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1998 it is an offence to send an indecent, offensive or threatening letter, electronic communication or other article to another person. It is difficult to give advice on this as if taken through court, it will rest on the contents of the texts you sent. The best advice I can give is not to contact her or send any more texts or other correspondence that could be added to the charges of harassment.

I have been charged with HARASSMENT BY TEXT. I was in a relationship for 23 year's, 16 married and 6 children. I became an alcoholic during the marriage, was NEVER VIOLENT. I was asked by my wife to go on a Drink Awareness Course and if I completed the Course I may be allowed back home. Nearing the end of the Course I texted her and asked if I was allowed home, received no reply so I sent a few more messages over the course of about 3 months. My Wife has never told me that she no longer wants any communication from me. I have since been charged with HARASSMENT. On top of that I have now received Divorce Papers so that signifies the end for me.and our relationship. Do I have any defence over the Text messages? The

My ex has turned our two sons against me & now they want nothing to do with me. After nearly three years of court proceedings I am left with no contact with the children (direct or indirect via a Court Order) My ex has now moved with the children to a nearby town but I have no idea of the children's address or school. Does anyone know if I am entitled to be party to this information or do I just have to accept this sad state of affairs? I still have parental responsibility ... Thanking anyone in advance.

Fifteen years ago My ex- wife accused me of beating her 2 times. I was arrested both times. She hurt herself to make it seem as if i had done it. One day she told me she was going to go visit her cousin to Seattle and she was going to take the kids for a week. I loved her so much that i still trusted her. Well she took my kids and never came back. 1 month passed and I was worried so I decided to drive to Seattle. When she saw me she was surprised and mad. She told me that she left and was nor planning on going back to California. I loved her so much and wanted to be with my kids that I decided to stay in Seattle permenantly. I rented and apartment and she moved in with me. Several months passed and her family started to accused me of beating her. Then, she hit me and called 911 and again accused me of beating her. She filed for divorce and 6 moths later she got pregnant from only God knows who. I remarried and luve a happy marriage with my lovely wide.

Can anyone help me? I want to know if there's someone that can help me remove the false accusations because they've been affecting my life.

Dear separateddads I hope you got all the message I posted. It was about being charged with two counts of assault to my wife and her cousin. If you don't see the whole I am happy to type the last part again. Thanks
Nicau 04/01/2015 at 2:58 am
Hi guys, I would like to tell you my story and would happily appreciate some advice of what to do. It started on New Year's Day my step sons 14th birthday. The day started great, woke up to greet my son on his big day. We have him his b'day gifts and around 12ish went bowling, involved was my son, my wife, my wife's cousin and my wife's brother and his family (wife and 3 kids). We had a good time and when the bowling had finished me my wife, son and her cousin went to Pizza Hut. After we ate we went home around 5ish. I went up stairs for a bit of rest bite. A bit late I could hear people down stairs. It was her brother and his family. I stayed up stairs and played on my iPhone. Her brothers children came up and watched a kiddies film. A bit later I went into my son bedroom because the gaming headphones I'd bought him for his b'day wasn't working properly. Simple fix. Anyway evening was getting on had down stairs they were drinking champaign. I don't drink. I gave it up in 2009. Not T total but no where as nearly as bad as before. I'd probably have a can here or there. The evening was drawing to an end and I went to bed. I could hear shouting going on downstairs her brother was very drunk and I could see him picking on his children. Hitting them, not hard but it was hard enough to make two out of the three cry. Suddenly his wife left the property and took her daughters home. I asked her if she was ok, she said yeah upset and left. I could hear my wife's cousin (female) and her brother talking about going to Australia to have the cousins husband beat up and to bring her son home bearing in mind her cousin had left her husband and son and done the estranged wife. Well moving on my wife and I wasn't exactly getting along and I have threatens to leave my wife on several occasions because I wasn't happy being with her anymore. I'd sent my mum a text saying could I come home around 5:22pm that day well before I told my wife. At around 12 midnight I'd gone to bed. Enough was enough. Later at around 12:30am my wife's brother had left the premises and she came to bed. I took my opportunity to tell my wife I was leaving her and got up. I got a rucksack type bag and was packing my bag when my wife started a argument with me. I told I wanted a divorce and i was going to pursue her for half of the house. This is where I made a mistake I think, she got up and squared up to my face and lurched forward as she did this I did the same and we clashed heads, I had made a little tiny cut to her nose on the bridge. In return my wife punched me on the side of my face. I said sorry and got upset my son came into the room where he asked me what was wrong I said "nothing son, I'm leaving. I can't do this anymore." He knew we were struggling. I went downstairs and got a few more thing together. My son come down stairs and asked me if I was ok I said no and got my bag said goodbye and got into my car. I left the property and realised I had two tumbler sized
hunger strike dad 03/01/2015 at 4:07 am
My experience mirrors most fathers I speak to in these family courts. Briefly, I am applicant to the High Courts and have minimal unsupervised contact with my sons. Both my boys have a congenital condition that impedes their development. This and contact was the basis of my High Court applications.Their Special educational needs were denied..

Family and Chancery High Court judges have debunked allegations of DV in judgements,summations and "brief summaries. There are mutual NMOs. My ex partners DV allegations are unsubstantiated and my NMO is backed up with two crime reference numbers,hospital reports with photos of actual bodily harm.

Despite the family judge reiterating his ruling repeatedly, Cafcass submitted a report that damages my standing as a father. The Cafcass refuses to deal with this report that is 50% in question and 30 to 40% in error of fact. I have been repeatedly denied ADR and have been manipulated into a ineffective complaints process.

I have been here with county court proceedings and I know where this is going.
My "final hearing is in less than three weeks and if I do not get the quality contact that has been recommended by the family courts own expert witnesses, I will be starting a hunger strike. I am under no illusions to this as I am an experienced human rights campaigner. I will be consulting my GP shortly.

I am a private person and wish to remain anonymous. However I need someone to deal with the media. Due to the reporting restrictions I am also considering a move abroad to circumvent the restrictions if needed. Someone needs to take a stand against these secret family courts. Even Sir James Munby want transparency and accountability but as the most senior family judge in the land, even his views are disregarded.

Had the same, accused of DVD arrested I front of my daughter, girlfriend and family
Kept for ten hours subjected to DNA, fingerprint etc
All charges dropped!
Now social services have been called in and my nightmare has started again
In the summer I had summons served wrongly on me and had to return my daughter to her mum ( even though she wants to stay with me) went to court to answer a variety of accusations and came away with a parental order allowing me every weekend, this changed the first week and the court order has been breach on a regular basis ever since with my daughter staying full time with me and my new partners family
My daughter has already stated where she wants to be to social services and the school who I have been working with closely to keep her studies going.
After my last arrest my solicitor stated keep well away and don't give any possibility for your ex to accuse you of anything so to tomorrow another meeting with another social worker who has already accused me of DV without even reading the notes on the case or even that the police had dropped all alleged charges
Pissed off and stressed out!
Radnage 16/12/2014 at 4:39 pm
Exactly the same thing happened to me. Was accused of assault many times as we lived together and she wanted me thrown out the house and she wanted her new boyfriend to move into the house. Best advice that I failed to take, stop loving the woman immediately love will blur your vision, whatever she was to you before she's after your life now, you could loose your job, reputation or even your life if you get depressed. Second buy a phone with a good video and record her when she attacks you, prepare mentaly so your first reaction is to grab your phone and start recording. I was able to show the police video of her attacking me when she called them. There are far more vicious women than society would have you believe and wow they can act like angels around everyone but you. Also remember when you get away from the life sucking witch there are nice women out there who have been treated badly by their partners waiting to make a great life with you so treat those women well and leave the witches to buy a cat to keep them company. Lifes too short so get through your divorce and find a great life for yourself. From a survivor. It felt like hell to go through it but I've found a much better life for myself. Also the police are quite familliar with false acusations so while her friends and family may condem you without a trial the police are interested in the truth so help them by making videos of what's happening.
cheekychap28 14/12/2014 at 11:57 pm
Hi I've been separate from my ex partner for 7 month's now. Her and her family have made up lies about me being violent and accusing me of everything under the son . She got me arrested for harassment. The police had taken stories from all her side and they have been making up horrible stories about me being abussive violent etc also. My ex keep stopping access when ever she feels like it. Plus she's stating that the police and school are on high alert incase I go to school to collect my son Now I can't afford a solicitor court fee's etc. I'm absolutely stuck and lost

Looking for some advice for a friend. His ex partner has made false allegations to the police of domestic abuse, stalking and grooming under 16 year olds. Of course this is all lies. And she has no but this will affect his job. What rights does he have? I've heard of people wrongly acussed and going to prison for these kind of allegations. Any advice on what to do would be much appreciated. Thank you.

yetanother 11/12/2014 at 11:39 pm
Well it seems we all get the same grossly unfair treatment. My wife and \i were not happy but were sticking it out for the two young kids. My wife is not so bothered about the kids and was I think getting keener to separate. I was fine with this just so long as it was fair and we could both move on in a manner that minimised the trauma for the kids. Instead of sorting it out with me my wife took and argument situation and phoned the police and claimed domestic violence. The police came and interviewed us both separately (my wife for over an hour) but were very friendly with me and when they said I had to go to the station they said they'd give me a lift back. Well I never got back. I did nothing violent and have in the past been subjected to 3 violent actions from my wife. Regardless they were not serious. What I can't understand is why if a woman makes an allegation a man has his whole life ruined. My eldest son spends most nights with me in my rented flat. He wants to be with me, but then I don't hit him. the youngest is too young to know but I take him three nights a week and love it. I wasn't allowed into my house and couldn't make contact initially. These bail restrictions have now been lifted and I visit the house weekly at least on top of taking the kids just over half the time at my rented flat. It is all absolutely mad that a few spiteful lies can cause so much suffering. I still await trial, despite the fact my wife has contacted the authorities and cc'd my lawyer to say she exaggerated and wants to drop the whole thing. I have endured vilification where previously I was considered this nice gentle dad. This system is absolutely biased.

Iv been now arrested 7 times from Harrisment to digitall penetration of a child . After all police
Investigations no further action . My x is lieing to police social services and even her local MP .
She made up 23 allergations in family court 13 where used and found not proven . She tried setting me up and yet I can't stop her should she be arrested for something or can I do anything to stop this . It's ruined my life and cost me my home job and my contact with my little girl .

@Lefish - be thankful that you're out of this relationship and you weren't charged as it seems toxic. Nothing ever good comes of drinking too much when things are fraught in a relationship, that's when the trouble starts.
lefish 03/12/2014 at 6:11 am
Added to previous, when she lied to the police where is the justice in this. Her reactions to the whole situation is enough to know she was cheating but she tried to press charges on me, I could of lost my job. My actions were not good but hers terrible. I've not contacted her but she is carrying on like everything's normal.

Need advice . I have been falsely accused of beating up my girlfriend and I never beat her at all . I think she fell on the stairs as she was chasing me . I left the house running and I don't know what happened to her as the police told me she had bruises on her tummy . So I am still waiting for trial for something I did not do . I was given conditional bail , I can't see my kids unless I go through a lawyer and not allowed to contact her or go to her house . I have got two kids with my partner . I don't know where to go and seek help . I haven't had a good sleep for the past month and I am waiting trial mid February .

I have been falsely accused of abh against my wife im sorry I can't put any details as I'm still waiting to see if im going to be charged or not and have strict bail conditions but it's them I want to talk about I'm finding it hard to even find a solicitor, I'm not allowed back to my house or contact my wife directly or indirectly until after Christmas and my autistic sons birthday! And I'm not even allowed to ask my mother to call her and ask to see the kids? Is there anything at all I can do to be able to arrange contact with them as soon as possible like I say because of the offence I believe I'm struggling to find any help from police social services local mp or even a solicitor I feel alone I have multiple character references but other than that how else can I prove I haven't hurt her it's my word against hers and her word is not trust worthy!! Please help
Singerz 11/11/2014 at 5:10 pm
Don't want to sound perdantic but you need to use full stop or it makes you look a bit mad.Women are fierce creatures and will stop at nothing to get revenge for any wrong they feel has been done to them..Police are very gullible when a woman tells them something they just assume its the truth.I don't know where you are from but in Salford the police have failed to protect a lot of young girls to detrementle affects.So they have to be seen to take any plea of domestic violence as red.This leaves the father homeless in most cases and then subjected to visits from the police for what reason I am not to sure about?.The best thing to do is nothing,just stay away and thank the lord you escaped from her.
Andrew Connors 08/11/2014 at 8:49 pm
I too have been charged with common assault DV (for a mutual hug where she did say stop, let me go or anything. a 2nd charge of stalking,intimidation and harassment is also claimed that i stood behind the car with my hand up in stop signal (was just to let her know I was crossing behind the car as she has knocked me down once before on the drive way and another time she back into my car just after I had walked between the vehicles and was about to get in my car
Neither of these events were intentional but they have made me very cautious of being on foot around the driveway when she is reversing out
The kids witnessed this and were in the car both times
Meanwhile the rumours come back to me altered with chinese whispers so that I find that instead of the hug the story is changed so im accused of beating her
Wish me luck my lawyer is confident thatwe will beat it on the 27th November
It is a horrible position to be in accused of such low crimes and not have a right to reply before being charged
Also bail conditions were upheld til the hearing which means over a month of zero contact with my three kids who have been told god knows what lies about why I havnt been to see them
The man gets no support he just has to get the best lawyer he cant afford and hope and trust in the justice system
!5 years of marriage no domestic violence from me

my brother is going through a similar situation, his ex partner has walked out and left him in there council house with his 2 children, they have both had times in there life when they have not always done the right thing by their children but every time he has tried to sort his life out she and her family seem to drag him back in. she is an alcoholic and is very abusive. she now is trying to get him done for domestic violence against her with her family involved as witnesses he gave a statement and was told he could bring counter charges against her but he was advised against it and also told it would make the officers job harder. He has had not heard anything back yet and is not sure what to do. she has left the share house but is still claiming benefits for the children he has tried in every way to prove she does not live there but is getting nowhere. if he was the mother he would have all the help in the world but no one is willing to help us. we don't know what to do anymore. would be grateful if anyone could help

Please can some one help.

I have falsely accused by my wife in order to get indefinitely leave to remain in UK. But police cleared me without any charges. She's on dependent visa until end of December 2014. I'm British citizen and I sponsored her to come to UK. I have 9months old baby. I have no idea where baby and mother. Police told me, they are in safe place.

When I contacted social worker, I told him that, I'm worrying about the baby. My wife is not capable to look after my baby without my help. Then social worker contacted her, but she refused to give a permission to see my baby.

When I contacted the solicitor, I understand that, I have to spent considerable amount of money and I'll not able to get legal aid.

I'm innocent victim here. Can some one please help?

Thanks

My wife wants a divorce because I accuse her of infidelity. So she argues with me every day asking me to leave. I agreed to leave for a little while to give her some time to cool of so hopefully later we could work things out. I left on tuesday. I checked her voice mail on Saturday & heard another man left her a message on Wednesday night at 1130 pm. When I asked her she tells me so ,its none of your business. We talk again a few days later & she says its was a male co- worker checking on her. At 1130 pm? After this she goes & files for a family violence ex parte protective order alleging on August 25,2014 we got into a fist fight & she had to grab my kids & leave. But I had to work, there was no police called ,& no report. I have not touched her!! She is being spiteful & trying to keep me aeay from my kids so she can be with whoever the male co worker is. I forwarded the message to my phone for evidence but she works for the police. So what can I do in divorce court about her lying on me & the message from her boyfriend. We are still married.
handyandy 09/09/2014 at 7:54 pm
my situtation is at the moment i am not allowed to see my daughter unless I Pay £60.00 a week and then only under her supervision, My concerns are that My ex partner would fabrecate issues to stop me seeing my daughter all together, I found out she had been arrested 7 times for serious assault , shes always claimed in her previous relationships that she ended them due to domestic violence , i have personally witnessed her son whos 15 now and her self violently fight, to the point where her son has tried to kill her. Please not socia lservices were involved and police how ever nothing is ever done.
I was evicted from my home on fathers day this year , shes made me feel im in the wrong and im just a sperm donor . I wish to see my daughter and i have attempted several communications with her , however my problem is she will turn violent which will be turned round and put on me.
because of the way i have been evicted with no notice she has approx £5,000 of my equipment which she has not let me collect or has she returned, as i have just started a business i do not have any money , i had to replace most things plus find another house plus tax mot and insure my vehicle ,, i believe she planned the eviction to claim several benefits and also get rid of me , because of the expense of what ive had to do to carry on working its been three months since i saw my daughter I cant get legal representation due to this or anything i need pointing in the right direction , as i do believe the violence could erupt if i stir the pot ..

I was charged with harassing my ex over email, I sent a few emails to my ex wife because I found out she had been claiming tax credits as a single person for the last 4 years even though we was still together £38k fraud but I got interviewed by the police and charged for sending these emails asking her to stop claiming because she is now it with hr new partner and it's gonna effect my children if she gets found out, once I had her statements from the CPS every word was a lie see even said we split 3 years before we actually did clearly because she didn't want to get caught by tax credits! I can prove her police statement is all lies, forward this week and the CPS offered no evidence and dropped the case BUT because my ex asked for a restraining the CPS read her police statement out in court even though it's full of lies and I can prove after her police statement was read out the magistrates granted a restraining order!! So basically I got given a restraining order based on lies! And she's defrauded the uk tax payer to the tune of £38k and she's still claiming as a single parent but living with her new partner I wonder if the police will be interested in her lying to them!!

@Mrs Angry/ @Hank

Hi, I would like to ask the same question as Mrs Angry. Basically, my brother went through an almost an identical situation where he was accused of Harrassment and Stalking. Although all charges of stalking were dropped (as they were false), he was forced into admitting charges of harrassment, as he did send text messages. In the end, he only received a caution as a warning.

Can he now prosecute his ex girlfriend for making false allegations/claims for stalking? She basically lied and made a false statement since there was no proof of anything she claimed happened. She basically has wasted police time.

Also, my brother was arrested at work, the ordeal of dealing with that and having his collegues look at him in such a manner, caused him great embarrassment and distress. Our elderly parents who were at home at the time, received a phone call of the arrest and were so distressed at the news, that my father almost had an heart attack. That girl has ruined our life, surely she must pay for her lies and deceit.

Is there such a process to prosecute her?
Hank Editor 20/08/2014 at 1:48 pm
@Mrs Angry, what exactly do you want to prosecute her for? She has claimed harassment and has the evidence to back this up, just because your partner disputes this doesn't mean that you can prosecute her.
Mrs Angry 19/08/2014 at 7:24 pm
My partner's ex accused him of harassment & he was arrested. All he did was text her, and his texts were pleasant. She'd asked him to keep him informed about certain things & this is what he did.
She then went to the police & said he was harassing her and she'd told him to stop. This was a lie - she'd encouraged him (verbally) to text.
In her statement to the police she said he'd also been stalking her. She has 2 CCTV pics of him at her house, but she'd asked him to go round to check some works she'd had done on her house.
So she stitched him up.
But to add to her complain she's stated other dates and times he's supposed to have followed and stalked her. We can prove that he was elsewhere on those occasions, and that he doesn't even still own the car she said he was driving.
Our solicitor says that the judge will go on her assertion that she "felt scared" by his texts and visits, and will find him guilty but it's not a serious offence. However he cannot deny that he texted her and went to her house.
Even though in the eyes of the law he is guilty of harassment, surely she can't get away with the provable lies in her statement? Can we prosecute her even though my partner is technically 'guilty'.?
Lou Editor 12/08/2014 at 12:21 pm
@Bill, if she has been diagnosed as having metal disorders then she is obviously ill and clearly not in the right frame of mind when she made the allegations. So why would you who does not have a metal illness and is of sound mind want to act in the same way she did and publicise her health problems? What effect do you think that will have on your children and what is it going to achieve? I'm astounded that you would even ask something like that!
John 07/08/2014 at 1:45 pm
Micky,

After being through your case and proceedings what did you learn was the fastest way to get your case dismissed? I'am going through the same thing. I just want this false allegation to be over with and not waste all my money on a case over an emotionally unstable person.
this is not right 02/08/2014 at 8:57 am
After 2.5 years of horror i decided to get a divorce. My soon to be ex wife is saying that I abuse her. She is also mentally sick. When we first met I want kids and a family. She never told me of her mentally health issues. Now she trying her best to hurt me because I want to live a normal life and be love.Before we got marry we use to sleep together. After mariage she wanted to sleep alone. All I do at the moment is pay her medical bills . At one time I left the house for 3 weeks. Stay at a friends place because it was starting to get crazy at home. She went to the hospital the following day i think and show them bruise on her body. And that I did it. Also she is telling friends that I rape home. She got a restraining order from the police for 28 days because of her trying to lie to the police. She is back home last thursday.
My lawyer told me dont worry but I am . I don't understand why I cant have a normal life like everyone else.
Micky 02/08/2014 at 3:49 am
I was found not guilty of domestic assault but I was put through a year of hell before the truth came out. My ex paraded the fact I was charged around the family court and Cafass like a badge of honor as if I was guilty before the trial, But said nothing to anyone about my not guilty verdict. Everything cost me a fortune and I'm out of funds now to continue with my family court issues in regards to access and raising to my two young children. I am aware her actions and behavior are deliberate. And even though I am innocent, I still lose as my legal fees have drained me. I recently received a refund from the CPS with amounted to about 10% of my criminal court fees and it does not help me. Basically I need to be compensated for my ordeal to be able to continue my custody case. Can anyone advise? On another note can some one please give me some insight into how normal folks become so down right cruel when it comes to family court? Do lawyers egg them on, as my ex's behavior is down right nasty and cruel, and cruelty is just not like her. My high priced solicitor never once tried to lie over exaggerate the facts. Where as my ex's lawyers ( she is on her 4th now) really lay into me as if I was a monster. And to date never got into the mud or have come down to this level. The fact that my ex had me falsely arrested on Christmas Day in front of my children should speak for itself, but sadly does not seem to matter.
ping 01/08/2014 at 10:55 pm
This is a weird one I can't find anywhere on the net. I was told today by a family mediator that for the last 2 years I have been getting regularly accused by my ex-mother-in-law for DV (mental bullying) of my ex-wife. She reported me to a different council from the one my ex-wife lives in. I have never been contacted by social services ever. The twist is that she works for the same social services department that she's reporting me to. I don't know what's going on. Should I expect a visit from social services 2 years on? Why have I never been contacted?
DMT 30/07/2014 at 3:11 pm
It doesn't surprise me that there are many horrible stories here. I think women learn to be machiavellian and often play the victim very well.

I like many above suffered years of screaming, name calling and outright abuse at the hands of my psycho ex-partner only to be packaged up and sentenced as a violent abuser by the justice system.

Now suffering from PTSD on medication permanently and in counseling. I've just discovered that the children are now also getting counseling probably due to all the lies they've been told despite them knowing the truth.

When I tried to get contact she tried to use the system against me but luckily the family courts are probably seeing all to much of this and rejected her claims.

The police don't help matters as all they want is to prosecute you regardless of your circumstances.
Annoyed 30/06/2014 at 8:40 pm
I am currently on police bail for an alleged assault that never took place. My story is that my partner (now ex) went to a birthday party and arrived home at 2 am drunk, and she started to prod and poke me whilst I was asleep and try and wake me up for a cuddle. I had been awake since 4.30 am the previous morning and had fallen asleep at 1 am and all I wanted to do was sleep. Then the usual name calling ensued like boring and useless and all the general nastiness I usually put up with. Then she started to throw accusations out that I had hit her after she saw a red mark under her lower eyelid. I hadn't been anywhere near her. She was absolutely drunk and somehow the police got involved and decided that I had assaulted her, and had me in handcuffs and carted off to a police station 10 miles away. Like many posters on here, I refused legal advice as I knew that I hadn't laid a finger on her and that the truth would prevail. The injury was an alleged black eye that was about as wide as a ball point pen and red in colour. There was no swelling or bruising surrounding it and it was almost circular. I haven't been charged as yet and I have been given police bail with conditions not to contact her or go near the area. I have done my own research as to what this red mark could be and it is identical to a skin condition called Spider Anginoma. Alcohol can cause it to flare up as well as being in the sun too long. She works in a tanning salon. Do I take my findings to the police and let them compare, or do I just wait to get charged and leave it to a solicitor to deal with it in court? I have done absolutely nothing wrong and not laid a finger on her.
Spog 28/06/2014 at 7:17 pm
I thought this was not this common.... Jack I had exactly the same issues in 2004.

I was also falsely accused of domestic violence by my ex-wife. She did it as the laws in Northern Ireland allow the male to be removed from the house for a month no questions asked after that the wife has to show evidence of domestic violence. She also funny enough qualified for legal aid in the divorce.

Look the people who actually know you ie I had to look my Mum in the eye and say I never touched her..... they will know the truth the rest and do gooders do not matter!

CONCERNED 16/04/2014 at 11:59 pm
Recent charges:
• Uttering death threats & domestic assault, ... date: Jun 23rd, 2013 [Arrested; released on surety bond to face trial; trial date was set for early May 2014]
• Breach of recognizance [Police contacted him by phone (on 4 Apr. 2014) to say that since he was not living with the surety, therefore he had breached recognizance (or, the conditions of his earlier release on bail; Police also informed him that his spouse had alleged that he had committed an assault with a broom ... date of alleged occurrence: Feb 15th, 2014. He assured the police (on Apr. 4, 2014) that he will turn himself in later that day];
• Failed to surrender to the police on Apr. 4, 2014.
Previous charges:
• Domestic violence, assault. [3-4 years ago]; pleaded guilty.

Need to Know:

1. If convicted on these charges --- due to the accused being not present in Canada, and a one-sided decree that may be given by the Court --- can an accused be extradited? (from an Asian country to Canada).

2. Is it possible, under the Law, for such charges to be (automatically) dropped after the passage of a specific period of time, or would the charges stand forever?

3. What is the law regarding enforcement of paying child-support if one parent lives abroad.

4. If the person becomes financially broke, can the creditors go after him? Would that be considered a fraud?

5. Is it possible for such a person to still conduct business (e.g., Internet-based business) using SIN, and be able to maintain a personal bank account in Canada?

6. Once convicted on these charges what are travel restrictions? (for travel to any of the Commonwealth countries)

My husbands ex used fake evidence. She used a fake facebook account with his name and photo and wrote herself saying things like "i'm going to kill you and our kids." She made it look like it was him saying these things and used it in court. he has trial for this in a month. What are you supposed to do if they try to use fake evidence?

There is one obvious common trend on this thread that causes the violent actions and that is being under the influence of alcohol... We all should consider that alcohol has grave effects on some people with the extent of not even remembering what they have done..
Moral of the story here is NOT TO DRINK ALCOHOL !!!
Wayne 23/03/2014 at 7:08 pm
Two weeks ago I got home from the pub at 8 in the eve, when I got home my wife started a massive fight, this got heated and she started coming at me with her hands, hitting and slapping, I held her hands and pushed her away in self defence. Soon after we stopped arguing and was having a cigeratte, after a few minutes I didn't realise she had sneaked off and called the police. I was arrested and put on police bail, originally not to have any indirect or direct contact or be allowed on the street. I got this amended so that I could see my three children with the assistance of my parents. The first weekend we attempted too get the children, my wife started shouting at my parents and threw the family puppy out of the home. I had to come nearer the house to pick her up as my parents are old and can not handle three kids and a puppy. Two days later I was rearrested for breach of bail as the wife had rephoned the police accusing me of shouting at her. So my bail terms have been amended again so that I can not come even in the connecting roads. Two days later I have now also received an occupational and non molestation order, I have offered to her solicitor a voluntary undertaking to say that I would not go near house or speak to her, as yet she has not accepted and we go to court In the next couple of days.
My wife has done similar to this before but not involved the police but threatened a cout order if I dont leave the house. We got back together as I suggested we try for the family sake, she I think accepted knowing that she could not get the court order with out the police allegation. I am going through this so she can keep the house and immediately, so basically this is about money.
Any advice to offer with regards to the criminal and civil matter?

As i have a police caution for assault will i be able to get custody of my child?
Worried 28/02/2014 at 3:08 am
Me and my wife had been going through a rough time for over a year. We basically lead separate lives, but she never saw. She would go out with my daughter and never tell or say to me were they went. When I went out I always asked if it was ok etc. So one drunk night I felt the love was gone in the marriage so I was offered back to another woman's house which I stupidly accepted. Nothing happened and I went home. My wife could smell her perfume on me and went nuts. I have suffered verbal abuse before but my wife would goad me into violence, but all I ever did was move her away or try and restrain her. Over the year we tried to make it better and it was getting better. In November I went out with some friends for a drink and landed up back at some party. One of my pals was interested in a girl and I was just being social. My wife phoned me to see where I was and I arrived home around 3am. She went nuts again shouting and screaming into my face while I was in bed. I told her we would talk about it in the morning but she kept at it screaming in my face. I got out of bed and pushed her to one side then she attacked me, punching, kicking & pulling my hair. I stupidly punched her and she fell onto a bedroom unit injuring the side of her head. The I phoned the police, why I did this I have no idea. I was then taken to the police station and charged, but nothing was done about my wife. In April I will appear in court for my diet and see if the case is going ahead or not. When I was arrested the police I told the police I had phoned due to the assault being started by my wife and the police officer told me my wife also phoned. I have since found out this was a lie. I am worried sick and have lost 2 stone in weight since it happened and if found guilty I will lose my job. My wife was never charged. I have left my wife and now have very little contact with her, only reason for contact is to see my daughter. Anyone have any advice?
Meadow 26/02/2014 at 8:33 pm
My relationship with my wife has been deteriorating for some time now. I have had health issues and following two operations last year we now sleep in separate beds.
(I don't sleep too well and toss and turn or get up in the small hrs) hence the separate beds. my wife also suffers from depression and she has been drinking a lot, sometimes 3 to 4 bottles of wine and for 3 to 4 days, she becomes very verbally abusive towards me, from month to month it is getting worse, the choice of language is getting stronger, trying to get a greater effect from me i guess.
Her personally changes just after 3 or 4 drinks, Christmas was horrendous she was abuse to my son then me and it continued with me for weeks.
she get upset when I don't talk to her the following day and become distant to her, I cant help how I feel after the foul language that has been dished out to me, I really don't want to be near her.
I had a drink myself about 2 weeks later and gave her a piece of my mind to let her see how it feels, later as I sat in the living room watching TV with my feet up on a stool, laying back on recliner at 45deg angle, she pounced on me getting in my face, (this point was a bit vague) as i was holding the remote control in my right hand crossed over my chest (in the direction of the TV) I instinctively moved my hands to the front (my elbow were still at my side) the remote came in contact with the side of her head, she left the room, I struggled to get out of the chair (trying to push the foot rest back in place is difficult do to hip issues, I found her in the next room all quiet, i appololgised saying I did not mean for that to happen it was an accident.
she said nothing, about 1 hr later the police turn up 4 of them and I was locked up for 48 hrs. it was a horrendous experience due to the pain I feel when not being able to move about, I saw two doctors as I did not have my regular medication.
(when I say things were vague I mean I figured some things out later) its that I now believe that she was actually reaching down the side of my chair to confiscate my drink, she had to knell on the chair I was sitting in between my legs and her head was almost level with my chest as my elbows never left my side. (should I mention this in court. also she has spoke of divorce and i am now wondering if this is what has driven her to do this. the final nail in the coffin of our marriage, we have been married 40 years. in our late 50's now.
we have been unable to speak to each other due to bale conditions for over 2months now. this has not helped the situation at all now she is dreading going to court and i believe she may make matters worse for me.
I have never been in trouble with the police before in my life and am very worried about what might happen to me if they believe her and find me guilty.
and there was no mark on her face as there was no force or intent when she was struck.
I made the mistake of not asking for a lawyer, I felt I had nothing to

I hope someone can help. My son and his girlfriend returned home after a night out. They were a little loud getting out of a taxi and pretty drunk. On the way into the house his girlfriend stumbled over some refuge bags that had been blown onto the path. It was very dark. Anyhow she ended up on the floor and after a few attempts my son dragged her up on her feet and took her into the house. A little later my sons girlfriend tried to get off the chair to get a pizza. She got half way up but my son gently pushed her back onto the chair and said 'stay there. I will order' Probably fun to watched but the next 12 hours turned into a nightmare. A neighbour (obviously concerned and but very mistaken) called the police and said their was a girl being punched on the floor. When the police arrived they saw my son push his girlfriend onto the sofa. A really bad combination of events which put together makes a case for the Police I guess. However, they just went into the house and arrested him? They were not interested in what his girlfriend had to say and did not say why he was being arrested. His girlfriend was very upset and knowing no one close we had to go and console her because as well as a hangover she was trying to deal with all this. My son has now been bailed and charged with assault? His bail condition is that he has no contact with her. This is crazy. His girlfriend has said she will show the police that she has no marks in any way with her own mother but they are not interested. Because they do not need a statement from her in domestic abuse law they think they have enough to prosecute. She is on her own in an empty house in a shady area and she is at her wits end with either my wife or her mother having to be with her alternate nights. Neither my son or his girlfriend has any criminal record whatsoever. I have never been arrested by the police and until today have had the utmost respect but this has given me a different outlook. One incident which disturbed me is that the investigating officer came out to see me prior to his discharge (The first visit after waiting 14 hours). He told me he was charged with assault and asked if my son could stay with me for a few night. I asked if it was a proviso of his release? he stated no but said if the police was called to his home address he would be re arrested. I said their wont be an issue because nothing has happened. He then asked me for a contact address. My son was then bailed but his bail conditions was that he sleep and eat at our house and have no contact with his partner. He has to stay 50 miles away from HIS house and his job! I did not see that coming! This is wrong! We cannot see a solicitor until Monday but we are all very upset and confused. It would only take someone with half a brain to sit and speak with them to know that this is a complete misunderstanding but in an obvious attempt now in my mind to not discredit the arresting officer they will now push this. I feel so sorry for re

And so it begins a week before court and all the allegations have started about my lovely partner. He had to go to the police station yesterday to be interviewed about domestic violence that apparently happened a year ago. It makes me so sad and angry that women do this! I have suffered abuse at the hands of my ex but I would never make false allegations.I understand that police have a duty to investigate all alleged crimes but what happens if charges are dropped? Does she have to pay for her actions? Even if we can prove there were no bruises no contact stopped? Doesnt seem likely reading about it on here or other countless websites. It seems if youre not charged that is the light at the end of the tunnel. Not good enough. I will stand next to my partner proudly. Its all so sinister that the system seems to encourage this sort of lying.She has threatened to accuse him of rape if the current investigation is dropped then I think this will be her trump card it worries me greatly that the man I adore may have to endure an arrest and interview for something he wouldnt dream of doing. I am very close to throwing my hands up saying"why are we doing this to ourselves?" But I think thats how the system makes you feel. I hate not being able to do SOMETHING. Its all a wait and see game, a process, Red tape, bureaucracy at its worst. I really hope that we get what we deserve and the same goes for her.

my partner has been going through tough times jue to her past that she is now seeking theripy for, this for alot of years put pressure on our relationship, it caused us to argue alot and to say nasty things to each other.
i feel into a depression at the time and was put on antideppressents, i strugled to sleep at night and wake up in the morning.
one morning i woke up and my partner was angry because i wasent out of bed already and tempers flared, she picked up the phone to call the police to have me removed from the house out of spite as i had never done anything apart from not be up on time.
the police arrived to my house and i awnsored the door to them as they went to the wrong one and infront of my daughter (that was the hardest thing) they cuffed me and put me out in the car infront of everyone i know on the street where i grew up.
i pleaded that i had done nothing wrong but they just wanted to discusse it at the station. (i was still in my pajamas)
note i have never been in truble or been arrested before and was also on the final stages of obtaining a job at the university of st andrews as an apprentice but was turned down due to the situaition.
i weavered my right to a lawer (inexperienced, young) because i did not think i needed one as i new i done nothing wrong, and as described above they took a sympothetic approtch to me in the inerview and then charged me and told me i could not go home.
they took my photo dna and fingerprints and i just felt so hust that the system could do this to me, i thought it was innocent till proven guilty not the other way around.
i did not stop pleading i should not be here but it feel on def ears and they looked not concerned at all to listen,and made me feel like a criminal.
i was taken to court the next day and pleaded my case to g4security who transport the prisoner to the court from the station and they actully listened to me and approtched the judge while i was in the court detention cells and i was realesed without charge after they looked at the evidence. but i still had to make my way home in my pajamas 7 miles journey. i would never wish that humilation on anyone.
i feel from the situation my rights were violated and i was treated by the police as unjust, so i made a formel complaint about how the matter was dealt with for them to reply saying the do not have decressonery powers anymore and when the system is started at cant be undone so i never had the grounds to complain so it was closed. i am still with my partner as i know she never ment it to go as far as it did but it was young people mistakes as little or no knowledge of outcome due to inexperience in these natures. i do want to challenge the police to have my identity removed from there system for privicy rights and the fact i shouldnt be on there anyway without my consent, and i didnt give consent but i didnt stop them neither or resist i just said am not going to stop you but you dont have my consent and they still carried on

My husband (from whom I have separated) was living with another woman up until last week when.she phoned the police accusing him of assaulting her.(This is not the first time she has done this)The police came and took him to the station where he was released the next day . He was told not to come anywhere near her property or to contact her But he did phone her to say he wanted what was his from the house. This was a very stupid move on his part - and to make it worse - alot worse = the police were in her house when he called.so of course she handed the phone straight over to them. So now he could be charged for contacting her. If he does not contact the police he is going to make things worse - but - if he does he could be looking at doing time for something he has not done. I really want to help him - but dont know where to go - he is in a terrible state and I am worried what he might do. Is his only option to hand . himself in?
Poppins 31/01/2014 at 4:06 pm
my partner and I are currently in court fighting for an Interim Contact Order. His Ex has made all sorts of allegations about domestic violence and our ability to look after "her" children. She even threatened to accuse him of rape and tell courts thats how her youngest was conceived! I am hopeful the courts will see that my partner is a loving wonderful father who wants the best for his children. Although reading these comments makes me nervous ! The law seems to take the mothers side no matter what and if they are supposed to promote contact they are bound by reams of red tape and outdated laws. Im really keeping my fingers crossed for all Non resident parents.
Future wife 26/01/2014 at 10:25 pm
Me and my fiancé invited a friend of my daughters mother over for a couple drinks. Moonshine was apparently too much for her and myself. She came into my home slapped crap out of her teenager. Then when my fiancé attempted to help her off the ground and out of the rain, she proceeded to attack him for no reason! My teenager called police who came and arrested him! It was completely obvious who the victim was,his shirt was ripped off he had bloody scratches all over his chest and neck. Police tryed to get me to say he pushed me down after watching me slip and fall from the wet garage floor. He requested pictures be taken of him at the police station, arresting officer denyed him of his right to have this done. Now we have to go to court. According to police report there was no victim but the state was picking up charges?!!

Missing My Kids 17/01/2014 at 4:11 pm
Me and my ex-partner broke up on 6/12/13 after she shouted at our eldest child aged 5 the night before that night on 5/12/13 my daughter who is 5 year old came to me in tears with a red mark on her arm saying mams shouted at me and hurt me . I had already herd my ex-partner shouting at her so i asked where she hurt her and she showed me the top of her left arm and there was a red mark. I went down stairs and asked my partner (ex now) why she marked my daughters arm. She replied because she hurt my poorly back. I tried to explain that that is no reason to hit a 5 year old but she went in a mood about having surgery on her back and her back is killing now.
The next day she shouted at my daughter a lot that school morning when my 5 year old wouldn't let her do her hair and wouldn't tidy up as she didn't know where the toys went.
After i done the school run i tried talking to my ex but she was being moody and kept stressing at me. I thought her depression was back. She had an appointment that day 12.00 at the doctors to have the staples removed. We broke up in the taxi when i tried to talk to her in the taxi when there was someone their about her hitting my 5 year old. She said she wanted to talk about it in the house. We arrived at the doctors and she kept stressing at me in front of everyone. I then decided to phone social services about her hitting my 5 year old as i thought i was getting nowhere. At that time her name was called and she said she didn't want me in the room even though i was her career at the time as she was partially sighted and had a rare brain disorder (iih) and cried domestic abuse.
Police were called and i had to stay at my mam house even though i didn't do anything wrong. Over the weekend i found out she had moved area with my 2 children as she was scared of her own safety. 4 years ago i was made main carer of my eldest daughter when she was in a Psychiatric hospital after she after she went on a night with the child tax and lied to me about it. When i checked with the bank and told her i knew she got me removed from the house as she said i hit her when i didn't, even though there was no marks on her. The next day i reported her to social services and she got removed from the house. Later i was main carer of my only girl at the time, and it was decided that if me and my ex broke up i would be full time career of my daughter who is 5 now. Also my ex-partner said that i could have full control of money to social services so she didn't do what she did again, when she wanted to get back with me.
Since the resent brake up she has a domestic abuse worker who pays her legal aid (solicitor). I can’t get legal aid threw the new law change last year. She is stopping me having contact with the children and social services are not helping me. They seem to be taking her side and not listening to me. Please could some give me advice on what to do or point me in the right direction of help available for me. My ex-partner has alre

There is no such thing as right for dads, the system appears to be leaning in the defence of the women, even if she is wrong. There needs to be laws where good dads have equal rights.

2 yrs ago during an arguement with my partner,i put my hand out to stop her kicking me & caught her in the cheek.police had been called in a public area.i accepted that the wording of assault meant even if by accident i was guilty & took my punishment(probation order).since then we have had a few arguements.each time i try to walk away & give us time to calm down,but she blocks my path & works herself up to the point where she damages both property,items & worse herself.each time the police attend & she makes allegations that i have caused the damage & that i have physically assaulted her.the next day when she has sobered up she admits that she caused damage to herself & items.the last time she did this(sept 2013)she was charged & recieved a conditional discharge.on friday at a hotel she got drunk again & started an arguement.i tried to get her to allow me to leave the room,but instead she left.this defused the situation or so i thought.30 mins later 4 officers entered the room & arrested me for assault.no assault ever took place from either side,but im told the next day she had a slight swelling on her face.i was charged with assault dv.i know she now cannot admit it was a false allegation as she will be back to court again.will the false allegations be brought up in court.im at the end of my mental tether over this as i love her & dont want any trouble for either of us,but ive been told the liklihood is that i will more than likely be found guilty rather than not guilty.there were no cameras in the corridors lifts or stairs to show what she did after leaving the room.cameras in reception show her upset as she walked through.she went across the other side to a pub on the hotel grounds where she asked someone inside for a light,smoked a cigarette & chatted before going back to reception claiming she was hurt & very scared & asked her to call the police as quick as possible.anyone have any ideas to how this will end.many thanks

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my ex-wife. She did it because she was trying to qualify for legal aid in the divorce, and also to get priority for social housing. As she was unable to substantiate her claims (and had several changes of story) she was refused both of these things.

However it's still been hell for me. I am constantly having to defend myself to social workers and during the divorce court proceedings. Access to my children is being restricted "just in case" her accusations might be true. There is no presumption of innocence here!

The system is wrong because it encourages false accusations to be made. There is a real advantage for a woman who makes these claims. Taking a cynical approach, my advice to any woman going through a divorce is to claim you are a victim of domestic violence - you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

A neighbor I new for 2weeks befriended me.She was aggravated after one night on relation.She then hit me with a mattress pump,bit me in my chest, brutishly hit me in the face with a cup. In which i had to get 28 stitches to my neck. I was arrested,she gave police a false report. Then she recanted the her entire story and my charges were dismissed. While on bail i broke no contact order asking for my key and a watch. Is it possible for me to charge her with crime of brutally cutting my neck and assaulting me.

I was recently arrest for assaulting my wife. I came home after a night out with my mates and she came running down stairs screaming about where I had been. I told her to calm down and we would speak in the morning. As normal she never listened, so I got ready for bed and ignored her. She they preceded to scream into my face while I was in bed. She then pulled my head up by the hair and started slapping me. I pushed her away and got out of bed. She continued to slap and punch me so I defended myself and punched her. I then called the police. When they arrived I was arrested and locked up for the weekend and appeared in court on the Tuesday. Why would I call the police if I had started it full well knowing I would be arrested. So I now have to shell out for a solicitor and could lose my job. My wife has written to the PF and said he wants it to go away. I have left the family home and moved in with a friend, but she calls my mobile screaming her head off, should I record these calls?? I am already keeping the abusive texts. What is the outcome likely to be??

Deb said:

"I'm sure over half of men say their partners claimed false DVO's on them. In the end, it doesn't matter though because God knows."

Many men, perhaps more than half, are falsely accused of domestic violence and many men are victims of domestic abuse/violence.

It does matter as many are routinely ejected from their homes on the basis of false allegations, and may even be sent to jail just for talking to a woman; no threats or violence needed. In the UK men are guilty until proven innocent when there domestic abuse/violence allegations.
Deb 25/10/2013 at 1:20 pm
In September my alcoholic husband scared the crap out of me. He didn't touch me nor did he verbally threaten me. I've never been so scared of him. I ended up having no choice but to call 911 and ask for advice, which is all I did. I wouldn't give them my address or name. I told them I was scared to call the cops and scared not to. So I met a cop in town and we commenced to file a police report on the events that took place that day, also being honest that he did not hurt me or verbally threaten me (tho he was punching the driver side window while I had myself locked in there to protect myself). Anyway, the cop told me to go to the courthouse the next morning to file an EPO. I only wanted to keep my husband away from me in fear that he would hurt me for reporting this to the police, and the fact that he got a DUI while I was filing the police report. I did not know it would cause him to vacate the home, it would keep him from our son or that we would end up going to court over it. A week later we appeared in court and I had my ducks in a row, big time. I had evidence of how he had hurt me in the past, etc. So now he has a DVO on him, I have custody of our son and he has supervised visitation. I have the house for now and he has to live with his parents (well, that's where he chose to stay). So, even though I didn't intend for all this to happen, I now think it's the best thing that could've happened. He says he has stopped drinking, is taking classes (even though not voluntarily, they are court ordered) and even going to church. I hope this is his rock bottom and he will make a permanent change with his drinking (mainly because he's going to end up dying from it if he doesn't). My point of this is, he HAS physically hurt me in the past, even to the point of sending me to the hospital to receive stiches in my face where he slammed me into a door facing. Now, after all these years and all the crap that's happened, he is telling everyone that I filed a false DVO on him. That is B.S!! Here is what he should be thankful for, that I did not ever call the law on him where he has actually left bruises, cuts, scrapes, etc. on me because he really would've been in massive trouble then, not to mention a felony record and possibly losing his job. Suck it up, be a man and admit it. I'm sure over half of men say their partners claimed false DVO's on them. In the end, it doesn't matter though because God knows. One day my ignorant inlaws will know the truth, even if after this life. I will have my justice.

I have been the victim of domestic abuse for years, but I never saw it as such. I have put up with being slapped, spat at and having glasses, plates and other things thrown at me during arguments but I put it down to typical relationship woes. After our relationship broke down last year she attacked me and injured my face to the point that when the police saw it, they arrested her despite me refusing to make a complaint. I had had to grab her arms and push her away to stop the attack. Both of our children witnessed this. She was released without charge because I refused to give a statement.About a month ago we had another event where she had slammed a door into my face and slapped me, a few days later after an argument which I admit I started I was woken to be arrested for assault. She has claimed that I choked her and held her down on the sofa by her arms. I have a trial date coming up and I have also been handed a non-molestation order which includes a copy of her application for the order. In it she has made incorrect statements which I have evidence against.She is putting me through hell because of these lies. Fortunately my children believe me and from next month have chosen to live with me as primary carer. My 12 year old daughter is also considering giving evidence in my defence.I'm fortunate in that regard as my children and their opinion means more to me than anything, but I think this whole thing has been handled disgustingly. I will have my day in court and if I have anything to do with it she will find herself arrested for perjury.

I was the victim of dv two days ago. me and my wife are separated, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I am having to stay with her for a couple of nights until I can sort out new accommodation for myself. Anyway, we had an argument, whilst sat eating pizza together and watching tv. she got violent, attacked me and cut my face and broke my glasses. She then started crying, phoned 999 and said I had attacked her. I phoned the police myself and told them I was the victim. Because she phoned first, I was arrested, spent 14 hours in a police cell and then was released without any further action to be taken as both me and my ex alleged the other was the perpetrator. Her statement was taken in the comfort of her own front room, she was not arrested and had no humiliation to contend with.
How is this right? A woman can attack a man, phone the police and claim it was the other way round and the victim will get arrested. Should this have happened? Did Bedfordshire police get this wrong? how the hell does the victim end up in a dirty police cell whilst the offender gets away scot free?? anyone know the answer, I would love to hear it.

many thanks for reading my comment and good luck to anyone (male or female) suffering dv and injustice.

My former fiancee broke up with me. First she had an affair, accused me of violence, I had to leave home and she stopped me seeing my boys. I took her to mediation got my house back but she had smashed bits of it up and stolen almost everything. Spread rumours as well. Then I took her to Court, got an order, but there must be 30 breaches of it by her since April. The police were not interested in her lies, now going back to Court, with more allegations of drunkenness and ill behaviour. I do no unnderstand why she cannot just break up peacefully after her affair, not only did she end the boys family but sadly she has intent to hurt and harm me through her behaviour, for no apparent reason! I guess she is typical of many other young women from reading this post! By the time she realises there was no battle other than the one she keeps fighting it will be too late for her. Never mind.

My soon to be ex wife has been in breach of family court orders over 60 times in in less one year in regards to my access to my children. Judge does nothing. The last time my wife attempted to remove my child form my car on Christmas day as I was given access on this day. I stepped between my wife and child to prevent her from abducting my child again.Then I drove off and took my kids out for a great Christmas. The next thing I know the police come around and say they want a word with you. I asked about what? They said come outside, I said I can leave my 2 small children, The police said ok then your under arrest for common assault. My wife had call them after I had left and falsely accused me of hitting her with my shoulder as I stepped between her and my daughter, which was not the case. regardless I reason I stepped between the her and my child was to prevent yet another illegal abduction and breach of court order. I prevented a crime yet I was charged. Now I have to defend myself against false allegations of assault when I never touched my wife, had my back to her when I stepped in between her and my daughter in the car. Plus I spent Christmas in a jail cell, but worst of all my children very screaming and crying hysterically as I was carted of to jail. What are my rights? I broke no laws, my wife did and I can prove it. Yet I have to fork over thousands to hire a law firm now. I was in my rights, plus I never laid a hand on her. How can this happen?

I married in 1993. Have 6 daughters and 2 sons. It's prob better said backwards - My now X wife up and left us in 2005 leaving me a single parent of 8 small children all under age 12. Many thought oh my - a Man with 6 girls and 2 boys !! One lady at my church actually came up to me and screamed at me calling me a disgrace and declared I should give my kids back to their mother -- When the fact is that their mother abandoned her children !!!9 months after she simply left claiming she couldn't concentrate on her college work and went to stay with a friend and simply never returned not even to visit her babies She suddenly appeared at door to inform me she was going to court next day to get an order against me - and yes - the order was served next day saying I should not harass her or molest her in any way - also attached was a statment from her to the court claiming how I had apparently abused her and she claimed to the court that 9 months earlier I threw her out of the house 9 months earlier which she claimed was 2 weeks after having a baby - But 9 months earlier when she walked out - our baby son who had been born 16 weeks early was 9 months old at the time she left him and all the rest - our son was now 18 months old at the time these false claims were made - quite easily dis-proved on production of baby's birth cert She also claimed I was violent and abusive towards her and all the small children - but the judge concluded that if I was indeed all of the above - why did she leave 6 small girls and 2 baby boys who were unable to defend themselves with me for 9-10 months if I was as bad as she claimed - The judge concluded that she must now admit that she is a liar because if she is telling the truth she in his opinion is guilty of child abuse and will imprison her The case was dismissed on the spot - and under the basis of her allegations I immediately filed for divorce and continued full custody of the children on the basis that it was unreasonable that I be expected to live with her Despite how frightened I was to even talk to her because I needed to protect myself from serious false allegations she was making when I wasn't even near her nor even living at same address. I was terrified to say even hello to her unless I had witnesses with me But still - one Sunday - 3 months after the court case - I called her inviting her to come have dinner with the children and spend time with them - But several hours after she left - police came pounding our door after midnight - my x wife claimed I had kidnapped her and attacked 2 of my daughters - so all my children were woken from sleep by armed police to check them over - it was so frightening for them 2 further days went by - and police came to our home again !! They seen all the 8 children playing on floor and watching tv. They asked the children were we had been all day - to which they replied we have not been anywhere - they a

My wife left me after a 14yr relationship,at no point have I ever physically or mentally abused her,heated shouting by both of us would happen in an argument but arguing was never consistent.On my birthday 2011 she decided the marriage was over and I was to leave the home,I begged and pleaded for us to continue to work things out.This was carried out all in font of my little girl who was 7 at the time.My stance was to stay in the home and work things out her father gave me the confidence that all I was guilty of was working hard for my family.The past 18 months have in sum deteriated to the extent that for the last two months access physically and verball to my daughter has been removed.My wife has claimed she has registered a complaint with the local police that I assaulted her by pushing a door open to get in and see my distressed daughter.At no point have I ever been contacted by the police by phone or visit,to deny the charges my biggest fear is that this will be used by wife when I go to court to get access to my daughter.Why is it always taken for granted that a mother is the best carer for a child,most men work long hours to provide for their family not out of choice but out of necessity,the inference because we don't spend the quantity of time with our children means we love them less.I love my daughter more than anything no job ,friends or hobbies are more important than the love of a father and his child,but any woman who feels her life is not fulfilled be it financially or emotionally can choose to destroy a little girls dreams and hopes purely for their own needs.Marriage and especially parenting is about the children,I gave up my right to be an individual and my goals and dreams when my little girl was born,I witness on a daily basis the long term effects of mothers walking out on decent fathers for their own selfish wants and desires and the long term resentment that occurs in the relationship between mother and child.is that really a price worth paying for not fufilling everything in your life.Is the law just I've yet to find out all I know is that faith is the thing that drives me to believe loving and wanting only the best for my child will prevail

Continued from previous post - it didn't all go through the first time.I didn't even know he was reporting these things. The phone call from the Senior Police Officer was basically an admission that they knew that the DVO against me was wrong and he asked 'where do we go from here?' I told him they should go back to court and correct this wrong against me and clear my name. He said that it only had 2 months to go and that for my own health it would be better to forget it and put it behind me. (I had a major nervous breakdown after the DVO was put on me). I then said that if they are not going back to Court, I would like the opportunity to sit down with the police officer who made the application against me and let her tell me to my face why she lied about me. I was told this was not possible. So I just had to continue to cop the DVO and a number of police kept telling me 'it's not big deal, heaps of people have got them on them.' It is a big deal to me. I have NEVER broken the law, I have NEVER been violent to anyone in my life and I should NEVER have had my name sullied in this way. By the way, I'm 5'1" and 63kg. My exhusband is 6ft and used to be a bouncer in one of the roughest night clubs in town.
Female Victim of fal 10/06/2013 at 12:00 am
It is not just men who are the victims of false DVOs. My ex husband physically assaulted me. His girlfriend of the day videod the assault while she laughed but they destroyed the video and then told the police that I destroyed the camera. My ex became afraid that I would report the assault to the police so he went there himself and made false accusations about me. He admitted in court that his friend who is a solicitor helped to instigate the DVO. He had often told me that this 'friend' had a lot of police contacts because his uncle used to be the Acting Commission for Police (during the VERY corrupt years of policing in the State in Australia, where I live. I did attend the police station the following day at the urging of my work colleagues but I made no complaint or charge against him. The police took photographs of my injuries. I contested the DVO because I had evidence to disprove most of it. When it went to hearing, the judge was the cousin of my ex's corrupt solicitor friend. The judge would not allow my evidence to be seen and she just said that she believed my ex-husband and I was given a 2 year DVO. Prior to this, she told the prosecuting police officer to take me outside the court room, not once but twice, and told her to convince me to just admit to it and then they would only give me 6 months. I said No as I had evidence to disprove the accusations. But to this day, my evidence has NEVER been seen. The DVO expired yesterday after the two years of hell and my non-stop fight to clear my name. The Crime and Misconduct Commission claimed that the police officer didn't do anything wrong. Their EVIL MALICIOUS LIES have destroyed my life also. My ex then used the DVO to lie to the Child Support Agency saying that it was proof that I had threatened him (I have NEVER made a threat against him). He got out of paying child support for 5 years and only paid 9 months in total while our children were young. I have lost everything. After many complaints to the bodies that supposedly deal with police corruption and the Minister for Police, the police finally confiscated my ex-husband's illegal guns but, guess what, no conviction and no fine for him having them. It is so very wrong and has totally devestated me.
Two months ago, a Senior Police Officer rang me and stated that "we don't always get it right, and the officer who did this to you is only human and she did her best." The office who did this to me DID NOT DO HER BEST. This Officer has NEVER interviewed me. She LIED profusely in the application against me and she continued to go to my ex-husband telling him to get more evidence on me. My ex would then set things up, like refusing to drop my sons home and telling me I would have to come over and get them and then he would ring the police and report that I had come to his house again and he had people who witnessed that I came there. I didn't even know he was reporting these things. The phone call from the Seni

I need help please someone tell me what to do. About 5yrs ago i left my long term partner of 13 yrs for another woman. With my previous partner I have 8 beautiful kids that I love so much I've still kept daily contact with them all since we split up until january 2013 because social services just came along and stopped me, before that I seen my kids everyday,I spaek all the time on the phone and they keep askin me where I've gone,I don't know what to say and the empty feeling I have in my stomach all the time is the worst feeling I've ever experienced,the reason they stopped me is due to my current partner. Please bear with me I just need to try and explain. When I split from my previous I got with my current and that's when the problems started,I was living in supported accomadation with her and she was preagnant with my child,where I was living I wernt supposed to have anyone staying there and the due date was fastly approching so she needed to find somwhere to live,what she did was so stupid,one day I went home to find her and all her belongings gone and when I phoned her she said shed just gone to her brothers in england for a while(I live in wales) anyway after our 1st son was born I found out that she didn't go to england atall she went into a hostel and was put in there for apparent domestic violence off me,this isn't true tho,I didn't do anything,1 minuite I was celebrating my sons birth the next I'm having an emergency meeting in the hospital and the outcome of that was I wernt aloud to see my son or my partner, this was about 3 yrs ago,I had to have contact with my son from his birth up until social services took him away and placed him for adoption,by the time I was going to court to fight for my son my current partner was preg again and went into early labour,we consealed the pregnancy in a bid to prove we were capable parents(I stayed with her knowing what she had done because she told everyone she made it up) our little girl Mira-lee was so premature she was put in the special care unit and 4 days after she was born social services came to the hospital because they found out that we were there and the social worker that came was the one that has done so much to keep our son in the care system annd she said she's not allowing me to have any contact with my very ill baby,4 days later she died,I was outside the hospital having just been escorted off by security,10 min after my baby died I was allowed in the same ward as she was in alive holding my dead little girl with security gaurds standing aroud me,so I lost my son through adoption and my lil girl in the same week,a year after I've been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, now the same social services that destroyed my life has come along and stopped me from seeing my other kids. I've never been spoken to,aressted nothing at all about domestic violence so how can they do this to me,I'm so sick of it,I feel trapped and helpless,I don't go out anymor, life is

Hi, last year I finally got the guts to divorce my ex-husband as he was constantly cheating on me and abusing me. He wasn't impressed (I think he thought I would never actuall do it) and so him and his family started bullying my family. They didn't get far though. However, randomly the police turned up at my house saying they were here to arrest me for abuse to my ex-husband - apparently I had beaten him on several occasions! I was mortified, and after a 10minute chat with the officers, they decided not to arrest me - simply because I was determined to walk down to the station myself to set the story straight! However, because of formalities, I had to attend the station a fortnight later to answer questions, and the Detective of the case told me himself he knew my ex was lying. Case was closed.I wanted to sue for distress and wasting the police's time, but because this was a case for suggested domestic violence, the police said they didn't allow for the "victim" (my ex) to be sued. However, I find this really unfair, and in reality I was the victim in the end.Is what the police said true? Can I now attempt to sue him for this?

After many years of emotional, finacial and physical abuse by my husband (who is a respectable professional!) I finally found the courage to end the marriage on discovery of a long term affair.
Throughout the marriage I endured much abuse - the two that stick in my mind most are being locked in the garden in my night clothes whilst it snowed and a broken arm.
To cut a long story short, we are now divorcing and he has now turned the story around stating that it was me who abused him physically throughout the marriage.
The police have records of what happened but I did not make these complaints until recently after many months of counselling helping me to come to terms with the abuse.
They want me to give permission for my medical records to be disclosed so that they can get the X-rays and press charges for gbh. Until now I have refused but feel now be has turned the tables I should do this just to prove the truth. Can anybody advise please?
george 11/03/2013 at 5:32 pm
i am curious - has anyone brought or thinking of bringing a case of wrongful arrest against the police when falsely accused of domestic abuse? if, as is the case in some of the posts here, it is blantantly obvious that the man has done nothing wrong, it would seem that the arrest is not necessary?
Doodle_franky 06/03/2013 at 8:16 am
Have been subject of domestic abuses for some time. These have intensifies during te past 6 months at point that verbal and psychological abuses were recurring on daily basis. Lost 10kg in 3 months as a result of them. Partner is east European and we have young children. Based on some of her conversations to this party, I foun out that she was 'playing' me. Reported her to police. I was focused on verbal/psychologist humiliation (for me the worst part). Police told me to report specifically the sole instance of assault occurred 2 months earlier. I failed to mention the assault by my wife on my son 1 month before. Again, worst in my view was emotional and verbal abuse, including neglect, to which children and I have been subject. The day after I report her, she informs me that she filed for divorce. I did not see this coming because she deceptively led me believe that we were trying to stay together. Subsequently police "invites" her to gig clarifications in respect of my complaint. On that same day, police drops my investigation and arrests me on the basis of false allegations including pictures of one of my children in blood of over 2 years ago. On same day police arrested me and questioned me. Was released on bail with standard conditions. Have plenty of records to prove/argue for a perversion of course of justice and that my wife was provoking him all along to fabricate a case of violent husband. Lawyer advices me to look forward and avoid looking in eyes of family court as father who wants to send to jail mother of his children. Domestic abuse also includes financial abuse and fraud at point that I am now substantially penniless and homeless. She has been planning everything for possibly over a year. Am living a movie/nightmare. Would like to discuss my case with someone with similar case (if any).
Kingy815 04/03/2013 at 10:56 pm
I have recently separated from my partner, when we first split there was some abusive messages but eventually it became civil. She said that she would never stop me from seeing my son, but about a week after I received a letter from her solicitor with allegations of domestic abuse against her and that I was not to contact her and I was not safe to see my son. Needless to say I was shocked to say the least as I had done everything for her and I was the one who took care of my son while she done nothing. The real kick in the teeth is the fact that she used to hit me. I have now got a solicitor of my own, I am seeking custody of my son as I feel she is not a fit mother and she in fact is the one who is not safe around my son. If anyone has some advice please let me know as I don't know what to do.
pecans 15/02/2013 at 7:35 pm
my dad is accusing me of doing inappropriate things to my nephew and hitting him. Their is no physical evidence because I never did it. He is telling people and I worried he is going to call the police. I don't want my life ruined because he thinks its funny to cause trouble. My mom says to ignore him, but she isn't the one being accused of this crap. We fight all the time now because he can't stop saying these things. He started doing it again and kinda smirked when he got me all upset. I ripped a newspaper up and just sobbed for like three hours
Help Me 15/02/2013 at 6:31 am
I am being falsely accused of domestic violence by daughters mom. She is retailiating against me because my 3 year old daughter said that her moms fiancée makes her do inappropriate things to him. It is a dcfs case still pending since 12-10-12. It is also a a police report. And I ended up in court thinking it was about my daughter but it was domestic violence. The judge didn't let me get one word in I tried to explain to him that I have not been involved with her since 2008 when she falsely accused me the first time. She also said I stole the baby from school. When she is suppose to be placed with me until the investigation is over and the judge ordered me to return her to the mom without hearing the allegations of the molestation. She claiming my grandmother and family needs supervision, when my grand mother has helped us both with our daughter her whole life. How can she get away with this. Dcfs will not give me any type of paper showing these accusations keep telling me to use the reference number they gave me. Also the police keep telling me to use the report number they gave me. And the judge keep asking me for documents. I don't know what else to do because I am not working at this time. And I still haven't seen my daughter and I will be back in court in a week. Her mother doesn't believe her she is only 3 years old they don't make up stories like this. And I tried to put a restraining order on the guy and they made it like I was the jealous boy friend. Help me please.
sister help 04/02/2013 at 10:08 am
I am seeking some sort of help or direction for my desperate brother. He is living in England, while I’ve been living in Kenya for the past 16 years. I am far away from him and feel desperate for his children hence trying to see if there is any help out there for him.Quick insight into his situation.He separated from his wife early January, her decision. They have been living together approximately 16 years, married in 2011. Have twin girls, 4 years (birthday Jan 21st). Their separation was going ‘ok’ while he was buying her a new house for her and the children to live in. His lawyer advised him against the purchase until the divorce, the house would then be part of the settlement. (He is willingly supporting his children). His lawyer spoke to her about this, only she went crazy – within 24hrs she disappeared with the girls, went to a women’s refuge and claimed domestic violence. In truth they have had a volatile relationship over the years - but only to the extent of verbal. He only found out she and the girls were ok, as he tracked her down via the police, although he has no idea where they are. She has since been given a flat, cleared out my brother’s house and so on.She is a full time house wife who rarely cooks, doesn’t often iron, basically doesn’t participate is her ‘job’ at home. This caused regular rows – which led to my brother calling her names – ‘lazy cow’, such like, sometime nastier names than that because of his frustration and anger towards her lack of help. Their rows are prompted by her laziness. They had a a couple of sessions of counseling a few years ago on this matter.A little insight – my brother has dearly loved, nurtured and lived as a family with the girls since they were born. He is not, however, on their birth certificate because she refused to do this until he agreed to marry her. They did marry in 2011 although Paul didn’t willingly marry and wanted to organise a pre-nuptial, unfortunately this never happened. She never added his name to their birth certificates as promised, either.He hasn’t seen his children since the very beginning of January – not allowed. He missed their birthday, but has spoken on them on the phone. They keep asking when will he come and see them, his answer has been he is working hard. Then last week they asked if he still loved them, and they wanted him to come. It’s heart breaking for him. His case is in the hands of lawyers, apparently because of the domestic violent claim he is waiting on lawyers to be able to see his girls.Points:He has been told to wait for the lawyers to organise visiting rights, which may be monitored.He has been told she may be entitled to 2/3rds of his business.He feels she is in knee deep because she got a flat from her claims so is willing to keep the stories going, claiming also he has affairs with prostitutes. She claims he gave her a black eye and has a photo, yet there is no recollection of this with my brother. Paul is 6’4 she is 5’

Pleasehelpme 12/01/2013 at 12:35 pm
I have been charged with common assault and as such, I am not allowed to contact my partner as per my bail conditions.
My partner, or indeed ex partner, is apparently now in emergency accommodation with our 5 month old daughter.
I will be pleading not guilty to the charges and my first court appearance is at the end of the month, where I fully expect my bail conditions to be extended until the trial. My bail conditions are that I am to reside at an alternative location and I am not allowed to contact my ex partner.
My question is; will I be able to have access to my daughter between my first court appearance and the subsequent trial?
I know my solicitor will be requesting this at my first ourt appearance, however, can this be refused?
Apparently social services are involved, however, the issue is between my ex and I, not my daughter.
I have a clean record for your information.
Many thanks

Barnsey 24/12/2012 at 10:28 pm
Even thou iv not made/assaulted anyone (exwife) or made a move to do so, cheshire police took sides on the female. Theres always two sides to a story...
I was told to stay away from our house, our kids because the ex decided to phone .
Maybe i should phone?
Unsure how to best protect myself other than stay away, harder when you love your kids...
Anyone who,s maybe been or advise me is very much appreciated.
Please no nasty comments thanks...

Hi, I've read the previous posts with interest, I feel the need to post my situation for advice.I was allowed to see my 6 month old child for just over a year twice a week, supervised with the mother. When I asked for unsupervised contact through my solicitor, I was met with a solicitor letter saying I can no longer have any contact due to my abusive, violent out bursts and harming my child - all untrue.I now have interim contact supervised 1 hour once a fortnight, while this is all sorted out.They have ordered a finding of fact hearing. Has anyone experienced this? Is a 2000 pound barrister bill worth it or should I represent myself?I am innocent of this but if the judge decides I'm guilty how does this affect my contact with my child? Will this be forever? Can I appeal? Can I boost my chances of success - parenting classes etc?
rl 10/12/2012 at 6:39 am
Hi All

Had something similar. I told my ex partner there was no chance of us getting back togther. She then reduced my contact time from 4 to 2 days and then none at all. I submitted a contact order and she then put togther a molestation order and a contact order. These I could prove contained about 10 incorrect allegations (we had used emails to sort out arrangements). Within these statements she accusd me of as if to be violent. Unfortunately on the day in court I whimpered out and gave undertakings that were recorded in the contact order. I feel I made such a mistake but I wanted it to go away. I regret this as I should have pushed to show she was making flase accusations . Can I still go back to court and say on the day I was not thinking straight and would like the case to be heard.
freddy 05/12/2012 at 1:24 pm
Broken, Bob, Brad,

You all need to be very, very careful here; please don’t just assume justice will be done; the system, as it stands today, is very broken.

Let’s start with the definition of domestic violence itself. It is now so broad that you can be accused of domestic violence just for saying something your partner doesn’t like. What you say may well be the truth, but if it’s a home truth that cuts too near the bone for your partner, you can be accused of emotional abuse which comes under the umbrella of domestic violence.

Financial abuse also comes under the umbrella of domestic violence, so if you’re the main earner and you keep your finances separate, you could find yourself accused of financial abuse. This is a no win situation for men that want to protect themselves from financial ruin in the event of separation. If you don’t keep your finances sufficiently separate, your partner will be able to claim constructed trusts etc; keep them too separate, you run the risk of being accused of financial abuse, hence domestic violence. If you kept your finances separate and are not fleeced in the civil divorce/family court, they’ll get you in the criminal court. The tragic thing is when good men that allowed ex-partners access to their every penny, are shafted in civil courts and criminal courts as a result of false allegations.

So you can find yourself accused of domestic violence very easily, even if you’ve never laid a finger on your partner. She doesn’t even have to lie, may be just exaggerate how hurt she was by a comment you made or how difficult she finds it to make ends meet with you as the main earner in control of the bulk of household finances.

Domestic violence is considered a criminal offence of the worst kind; you will be treated worst than a drug addict/dealer, shop lifter or burglar and possibly worst than somebody that has inflicted physical injury through actual physical violence.

The Police have a positive action policy and will arrest and detain for even the most minor of domestic allegations… women and their solicitors know it. This combined with regional judicial crackdowns means the CPS are looking to prosecute safe in the knowledge that the scales of justice are tipped in their favour, it is for the accused to prove their innocence.. i.e. guilty until proven innocent. I live in South Wales which is a crackdown region; I had this confirmed by a Policeman who’s an old family friend. His advice to me was to get the best solicitor I could afford as Cardiff prison was bursting at the seams with “domestics” that shouldn’t there!!

When it comes to domestic violence allegations, innocent until proven guilty you are not! Our beloved justice system is broken in every respect, infected with political correctness – BE ON YOUR GUARD.

In my next instalment I’ll look at FALSE allegations, why some women resort to them and what they have to gain.
Bob 02/12/2012 at 10:49 pm
HelloMy former partner has previous accused me of domestic violence to all and sundry. I hasten to add it is not true. We are now fighting through the courts over access and custody of our child. The truth of the matter was that on several occasions she used to get very angry and hit me. I never reported this to the police at the time. My question is should I now make a complaint or report to the police? I don't really want to as I think it will just make matters worse without making anything better, but am I leaving myself open if I do not? She has not yet made such claims to the courts, but I am worried that she will and that if I then try to say no, it was the other way round, I will have no credibility.If I make a complaint to the police can I just ask them to record it all and not pursue it at this time?Advice please?
CURT 02/12/2012 at 7:23 am
My wife wrote a false or made up statement that got me arrested I posted bond took it to trial and she was caught that it was all a lie I was found not guilty can I press criminal charges on her
brad 28/11/2012 at 10:34 pm
To avoid further arrests for false allegations of domestic violence and being let off again shortly afterwards, my family and I feel it best to do the contact handover at a Police Station in London. Therefore, I requested this recently in Court. The Mother wants all contact suspended now that the baby has reached two and a half and should stop breastfeeding. Currently the Mother has agreed that all contact now be supervised by the Paternal Grandmother who lives near Portsmouth! The Mother is doing her utmost to ensure the baby does not enjoy overnight staying contact with his Father in Hampshire by making up false allegations which have planted a seed of doubt in the minds of CAFCASS and the Court. We will be in Court again next week for at least the tenth time in two and a half years.UK JUSTICE? I am still waiting! The CAFCASS woman whom I have asked to be suspended as she acts with undue prejudice now feels I may need a psychiatric report carried out on me as I did not take my prescription of some pills to help me sleep. She also feels the baby should go to Peru for three months with his Mother regardless of the fact that this will be the third christmas the baby has not spent with his Father. The Peruvian Grandmother has enjoyed more contact with the baby in the UK than the actual Father.EQUAL RIGHT'S FOR FATHER'S IN THE UK? UK JUSTICE FOR FATHER'S IN THE FAMILY COURTS???MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS? DON'T BE SILLY..

@broken. sorry, reread it again and now i understand the chronology of events better.
bluebird Editor 27/11/2012 at 9:21 am
@broken. sorry to hear your story, what I dont understrand is if there is a history of false alleagtions, why the matter has got to court this time, and yiu say that the assault causing the marks on her body was years ago when she left her parents! something doesnt add up or am I reading it wrong? problem is,because it is defined as domestic violence the police will have had to pass it to CPS for a decision, DV is number one on their agenda right now so they prosecute everything. Good luck hope it all works out for you. sounds like his ex has a personality disorder, when he his found not guilty as he surely will be then he needs to get back into court and contest the contact order if she is running round making fakse alleagtions and obviously alienating the son against his dad she needs to be be brought to book quickly.
Broken 26/11/2012 at 12:49 am
My son helped his ex-partner who was physically abused by her family.(so she had told us) She ran away from her family many times, this time she showed us marks on her body, which she said her father & uncle had done.& she was afraid they were going to send her abroad. We took pity on her, took her under our roof, and gave her every emotional & financial help. A new safe and happy life. She is and was a compulsive liar, without an ounce of decency, morals or respect or appreciation for anyone! She was dishonest, and stole from myself, her many employers, and also her parents. Due to her theft from me, we lost my home, and other valuables. My son & her had 3 gorgeous sons, and to keep the family unit, as I was the only Grandparent in the children's lives, supported her in every way, looking after my grandsons, financially, and Emotionally etc. I tolerated her negative behaviour due to my grandsons. Last year 2011 she reported to the police -physical abuse by her partner. He was arrested, & released with NFA. So after this false allegation, my son moved out of the family home. She Went on to make another 5 false allegations, and had him arrested 5 times.again he was released, with NFA. She wouldn't let him see the children. So he applied for a CONTACT ORDER. As all previous false allegations / arrests were all NFA, out of pure evil maliciousness, She made very serious allegations of GBH x 3 (the marks on her body) she came with 12 years ago, she alleged that my son had done them, and made my grandson who is 11, write letters To the various agencies, and give police statements about physical abuse. Alleging his father had hurt him.Obviously my grandson, is under influence of HOSTILE mother. SADLY my son has been sent into custody on remand! I am totally devastated.I didn't Realise that SUCH EVIL MALICIOUS LIES could destroy our lives. We are looking forward to the trial at Crown Court, I am sure justice will be done.

Three times I have been arrested, locked up for a short while and soon after released due to no evidence, no charges and no further action!Why? because the ex-wife wants to justify her reason to stay in the UK and of course prevent me from seeing our Son. We are back in Court tomorrow because she barged into me a month ago and snatched the pushchair from me, whilst I was making my way towards the contact handover venue. Therefore my Son and I suffer. Never mind the time,cost and heartache. Even the Pollice requested she brought the baby along to the Police Station as there was a contact order and she could go to prison?Yes, that's really likely to happen isn't it?Another Mother, blatantly breaking the law. Justice? Do I want to add an enforcement order to the contact order? What do the courts do When the Mother acts above the law in the UK? NOTHING! That's UK justice.

Being falsely accused of violence is terrible. I read some of the stories of guys on here and can really relate to them. There is of course domestic violence against women and everything that can be done to stop it should be done. That said, when there is a history of allegations which are unsubtaniated, there should be proper recourse for the defendent. I was fortunate enough to get a shared residence order 5 years ago following my divorce and this has been working fine for the chilodren during this time. I have been to the police this morning to file a harassment charge on my ex and her new partner only to be turned away as although she has made up unsubstantiated lies again it is not deemed as harassment. She is now trying for a second time to get the shared residence order overturned and making up lies again to do it. It is expensive and more importantly detrimental to the children, however the police are unable to assist. this is 5 years after my divorce. It may sound awful, but I can understand now fathers who just leave the mother and children after a seperation as there is no end to it. Many of these dad's start again with another woman, its just a question of being able to let go, something that I have found difficult as my children enjoy spending time with me, however there does not appear to be an end to these false allegations, that are damaging to the children as well as the defendant. I do hope that family courts and criminal courts alike take the matter of false allegations extremely seriously and recognise that women who make false allegations are doing women who are victims of domestic violence a real injustice, and are punished accordingly.

Paul, sorry to hear what you're going through. Unfortunately this is an all too common occurence.... women loose the plot.. mid life crisis or whatever and men bear the brunt of it. It seems that all separated dads are treated as potential murderers. There's a huge amount of evidence that women, often egged on by friends/family, solictors and feminist organisations; frequently make false allegations of domestic abuse to get the upper hand during divorce and separation. This usually results in occupancy of the family home and custody of the kids.

It's time the law was changed. However, the feminist organisations have huge political lobying power and I fear that most politicians wouldn't touch the issue of false allegations of domestic abuse with a barge pole.

I've made a promise to myself that if I win the Euromillions I will fund an organistation to take on this issue.. Pie in the sky perhaps, but you never know. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any men's organisations that carry the political weight of Women's Aid or Refuge. Women that make false allegations of domestic abuse are as bad as men that use violence against women.

My ex husband didn't show up at court order in 2006 for domestic violence (beat me up), instead he took a flight back to thailand. i've got automatic divorce paper afterward. if he want to come back in to the UK, will he get in trouble with police/court/immigration? how can we clear his name for this issue. Please help

What is your knowledge and commitment to a feminist analysis of domestic abuse?

I am applying for a job with womens aid and this was the question asked. Can someone explain this question in plain english for me? I'm not sure exactly what they are looking for, i've tried looking online!

Freddy 18/10/2012 at 4:07 pm
I tried unsuccesfuly to attached two links about Erin Pizzey the founder of Refuge that make interesting reading. Like Pizzey, I’m of the opinion that Refuge/ and Women’s aid have become a political front for feminists. A destructive force more concerned about attacking men and destroying families than helping genuine victims of domestic violence. I have read posts on the Women’s aid blog from Women clearly desperate to make-up with their ex-partner and reconcile their families, only to receive torrents of posts advising them otherwise. My ex-partner often described her father as dysfunctional and has had an on and off relationship with both her parents and sister, sometimes not talking for years on end. She seems to live in an endless cycle of conflict that alternates between family members, friends and/or neighbours. She would often demonstrate overt aggression towards me and occasional violence; always the first to resort to foul and abusive language and comments, prepared to take any minor domestic dispute to the absolute limit. " In her book Prone to Violence Pizzey has argued that many of the women who took refuge had a personality such that they sought abusive relationships. Pizzey describes such behaviour as akin to addiction. She speculates that high levels of hormones and neurochemicals associated with pervasive childhood trauma lead to adults who repeatedly engage in violent altercations with intimate partners despite the physical, emotional, legal and financial costs, in unwitting attempts to simulate the emotional impact of traumatic childhood experiences. "Having seen my ex-partner this weekend with a known bully and alcoholic, I can only agree with Pizzey's comments that some women's behaviour and inability to have a normal loving relationship is often down to childhood experiences.Unfortunately the legal system in the UK doesn't have the insight of Pizzey and women who are violent and abusive themselves, routinely play the domestic abuse card to get the upper hand, often with the backing of Women’s aid and solicitors. This is often done to spite and victimise their ex-partners and is, in my opinion, a form of violence in itself, with dire consequences for the man.
freddy 04/10/2012 at 4:36 pm
I firmly believe the system as it stands at present is not only failing men but is also failing women who are GENUINE victims of domestic violence perhaps at serious risk.

I’m an Electronics Engineer by profession and when it comes to communications, the hardest signals to find are those hidden beneath the noise floor. This I believe is what’s happening here, too many women who are NOT GENUINE victims of domestic violence are playing the domestic violence card simply to get the upper-hand on their ex-partners. As a result the cries of the genuine victims are simply drowned out by the noise created by those playing the game.

Unfortunately it’’ all too easy to play “the game” in the UK. Women will find no end of advice from friends, women’s groups and sympathetic WPC’s, who know exactly what buttons to press, which “key” words to use and what stories to tell when calling the police.

I had no chance, my ex-partner used to work in the legal profession, her admin assistant works part-time for women’s aid, and best of all her best friend is a WPC…

Wow... the UK is as bad as the US..

But, in my case here in the US, I even submitted PROOF of my wife's lies and perjury and yet one judge already told me that he believes her to be credible and since I was trying so hard to discredit her that "I" was NOT credible...

How about that huh? My wife filed three (3) false restraining orders on me without any evidence and by only claiming "fear", and even though all were thrown out, she has created the illusion that she IS a victim and every agency and organization that appear to enjoy destroying families under the guise of providing "protection" just for the $$$$ they get from the government grants and fooled donors...

Domestic Violence Laws are both bias and unconstitutional in the US...

I was recently assaulted by my ex partner who i have 2 children with. She is 34 and i am 25. she was arrested for this assault but because of a numbe rof reasons, one being her lying in police interview, the crown prosectution servie would not charge her with assault. She then proceeded to go to county court and managed to have a non molestation order placed on me without my knowledge by swearing on oath, commiting another crime, perery, as verything she stated on the order was untrue and totally falsified and made up to sort her spiteful mind. I was arrested for breaching this order a week and a half after it being served but i didnt actually contact her and beleive she had contacted herself and then saying it was me. she is very very manipulative. I have been contacted by her several times since this order was placed on me and have managed to get video evidence of her admitting she has lied in police interview and in the courts to have the non molestation order served on me.
Freddy 05/09/2012 at 4:14 pm
Wish I had found this site a year ago. Was convicted in March 2012 for 2 counts of breaking a non-molestation order taken out on me by my ex-partner via her solicitor. Long story but essentially on this first count I was convicted for being drawn into a conversation with her on the phone when calling the house to speak to one of my sons. On the Wednesday night I call the family home to speak to son. Ex answered the phone, I ask to speak to my son, she tells me he’s not there and I get drawn into conversation about the sale of the house. I terminate the call as conversation starts going down hill (couldn’t agree on sale price of house), no threats, she tries to call me back twice and I refuse to talk. The fact that I had initially called the house to speak to my son and was not in control of who answered the phone wasn’t considered reasonable excuse. The 2nd count, the following Sunday ex walks into pub where I was enjoying drink with friends, stands right where I was stood and starts talking to my friends. I go to bar, her friend gives me the evil eye I tell her not to start (friend is trouble!), ask why they’re here as ex never frequented pub when we were together, why doesn’t she leave? Friend tells ex so I’m considered guilty of talking to ex via somebody else. Pleaded not guilty, provocation, reasonable excuse etc plus she gave a false account of events. Complaint for both counts was made to Police on the Monday, 4 days after the telephone conversation – clearly not in any imminent danger!In court Judge opens by saying that on the first count I had admitted speaking to ex on phone so couldn’t understand my plea of not guilty, solicitor answers I was entitled to phone house as my sons live there and had reasonable excuse for talking to ex. Judge replies I should have put the phone down as soon as she answered and I heard her voice. Solicitor replies I would have probably have been in more trouble as I would then be stood here accused of making nuisance silent phone calls. Judge indicates he’s not going to accept that argument so on hearing judge, solicitor takes me into room, tells me it’s damage limitation from now on, and advised me to change my plea to guilty to avoid the possibility of a prison sentence…. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing… no threats, no violence, no wrecking houses, kicking-in doors or smashing windows… just talking!!! – result 250hrs community service, restraining order, 12 month supervision order, criminal record! TOTALLY TOTALLY OVER THE TOP!!Suffice to say my trust and faith in the police and British legal system (refuse to use the word justice in this context) has been totally destroyed.Non-Mols as they’re affectionately called by solicitors and the often accompanying occupation orders have become the weapon of choice for removing men from family homes. They are routinely used by unscrupulous often over zealous women solicitors, aka “huskies”, against unsuspecting men who very often have no legal r

I was falsely accused of domestic violence around 12 months ago.My ex attacked me whilst I was sleeping, and quite seriously ill. I pushed her away and she subsequently called the Police and said I had attacked her.I was held for 15 hours whilst the Police 'investigated' the allegations. There was no evidence of domestic violence or anything else, and my ex had a history of domestic violence and had accused her ex of domestic violence.The Police behaved very poorly including attempting to get confession by impersonating a solicitor, denied me access to a lawyer.Fortunately, after the allegations were refuted and I was released from Police custody, I went to court and won a residence order for my son to live with me after a protracted court battle. I will never forgive the Police for how they behaved and I still have nightmares about my experience, the SS were equally unprofessional and biased.You all have my sympathy, keep the faith!
Sad Sparky 17/08/2012 at 5:10 pm
Hi.. I am hoping that someone will not only read this but actually reply. I know that people spend ages reading but never bother to comment, so PLEASE for the sake of my little newborn baby boy, can someone get in touch.
My number is (In Word form as it may get edited) oh seven nine six eight five oh one seven three six - please if you have been here call me!)
Last May (2011), I moved from the Midlands upto Aberdeenshire in Scotland. At this point id been alone for a few years, and met somebody called Maria at a neighbours house one evening. We got talking, and after a few weeks of hiding out I decided to make us official by telling a mutual friend. It was a very emotional and exciting time and Maria seemed genuinly thrilled id made that decision and we started our relationship. We had a very good relationship at the start, and Maria's 2 boys and her both moved into my home very soon after.
We formed a very strong and passionate relationship and after some initail issues, we stayed together for 7 months. In the 7 months we were together I always truly beleived Maria loved me and I did (and for some reason still do) love her, and about 3 weeks after we got together a bombshell landed. She was pregnant. To her ex-husband who she left to be with me. Unfortunately this baby wasnt to be and she miscarried soon after.
A short while after moving from our home to Maria's previous property we then found out totally by surprise that we were expecting a baby of our very own. I was so thrilled, but also gobsmacked that I could even have children after never successfully impregnating a girl before. I truly beleived at this point that I was going to be a Dad and was thrilled. In February of this year, Maria left to take the boys to school, a journey of usually about 20 minutes. After about An hour and a half of failing to reach her, I logged into her phone which said she was still at the school. I was thinking maybe she had fallen or there was a problem with our baby so I called the school to find out what was happening.
They snapped very viciouslly that they were going to tell me nothing and hung up on me. This happened twice, which of course left me very confused, worried and upset.The same day my neighbour saw her and her mum being take somewhere by a housing officer which was something I was not understanding. I tried to contact them and got a brick wall. I spent days after being terrified that I would never see them or my unborn baby boy again, and was told nothing other than that I have no rights to the baby when it arrives if she doesnt want me too. Since the day Maria left I have had only gossip and lies told to me about what has gone on, and neither her or any of her family have had the decency to tell me what has happened. A few months ago while going to a solicitors appointment, I came accross her and tried to talk to her but she refused to and then thought it would be nice to threaten my son (unborn then) at which I told her she would get he
KATY 15/08/2012 at 10:39 pm
Hi, can someone please help? I have a friend whose wife accused him of domestic violence. the police were called and he was arrested and taken to police station. there they kept him and they released him without any proceedings because they said they didnt have sufficient evidence to prove he had hit her. That same day the social services got involved and they took her and the kids to somewhere to stay. they took her home first to collect her belongings and when he came back they had gone. he wasnt told where they are or allowed there address. he wrote letter to county court for a contact order but its been 2 months and still hasnt heard anything from them. how have the social services still involved with his wife if there was no evidence found against him? and why do they keep telling her that their relationship is not going to work because he 'abused' her?she found out he was having an affair and thats why she falsely accused him and thought she would punish him by taking his children away so he would leave this other woman. what can be done about this? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE someone help
combo 08/08/2012 at 12:26 pm
To Peter DO NOT let her get anything against you.This will only be used as ammunition against you in the future.Obviously thing have backfired on her somewhat and now that is why she wants you to have undertakings.this will be an admission of guilt.please persue the case against her if you think you have a chance and let her taste her own medicine.my own life has been wrecked by false allegations from a most vindictive lying woman whom I loved for over 23 yrs.again I stress do not let her get a thing on you as she will only do this again but with ammunition.good luck for the futurejohn
Peter 05/08/2012 at 9:40 pm
I am very upset about the events of the last 6 weeks. My wife of 11 years, had me detained by the police under the mental health act. I was picked up by the police at my own office whilst I was on my own, I had not seen my wife that day, I was taken to a hospital and assessed by a mental health team, I was released and told there was absolutely nothing wrong with me and that I had been the victim of an illegal call-out. The mental health team told me to prosecute the police and also contact a lawyer about whoever put in the call to the police. It was my wife who made the call. I decided to go away for a few days and let the heat die down. Whilst I was away my wife took out a non-molestation order and an occupation order and a divorce petition. I was left homeless with no money, no access to my two children and no access to my own business. Eventually we ended up in court and my wife claimed on the orders; domestic violence, child abuse and that I was psychotic. The judge did think much of her case or her complete lack of evidence or any previous history of any problems, we had previously had a loving relationship and were trying for a 3rd child. However he was worried for me so left the orders in place until a full trial. The full trial is now coming up, she has no evidence, I have seen my GP, who refutes ever telling my wife I had a mental illness, I have a full clean report from a mental health team. I have a GP, nanny, teachers, close friends and family who are coming to trial to give evidence of no history or alert of me being abusive or being violent etc. My wife has absolutely no evidence to produce and her sworn statement for the orders is full of lies and does not stack up with the GP records or police reports. My solicitors have now discovered that she was trying to take over my business whilst I was away and as the order kept me away from the business she had lots of opportunity. She has been given court directions allowing me back into the business and to see my children, but, I want my name cleared so I need to go to trial, she no longer wants to go to trial and wants me to take undertakings, but this will not clear my name. So my question is, do I take her to trial? do I put her through this, yes she has put me through a lot of pain over the last 6 weeks, but I am not a vindictive person, but there is justice to be done here and not just for me but for all dads whose wives suddenly turn on them and use these life destroying tactics to get what they want. I can also take out a criminal prosecution against her for calling the police and wasting police time and perverting the course of justice, again should I pursue it?

Thanks for listening, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hallo Guys,

I feel for you, as I am starting to go through the same thing crap with SS (Social Engineers). I reported my girl friend for abusing my son (which also happened a lot in a 3rd world country) and now they have told me that I cannot stay in my home and won't tell me why.

Confused and angry with the system, yet I stay calm, knowing that what doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. Another cliche comes to mind, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Good luck everybody.

My ex accused me of abuse but then dropped charges, social services got involved and they have turned up to my new partners house and told her that I was abusive in my last relationship which is lies ive got arrested when my ex accused me but I never went to court and never found guilty of anything surely social services can not do this, could anyone give me advise on what I could do
Stevey 11/07/2012 at 1:48 pm
I have been through this it's not nice , it got to court but was thrown out before I gave a plea. I was 100% innocent. Infact the situation was actually the reverse of what had been accused and I was in fact the victim of domestic abuse for over a year. My ex suffered no consequences, although by dropping it I assume the police had lost faith in her best selling fiction. Since then and may I say rather stupidly I have moved back in with her, it hasn't worked out. Last night when I said I was leaving because I could not cope with the crap anymore. She attacked me throwing a metal tin into my face leaving me with a black eye and a cut above and below my eye. I phoned the police but hung up after it was connected , they still turned up and when the saw the state of my face they promptly arrested her. I have said to them that I won't make a statement but I'm thinking I probably should. We have a 7 month old son who was there when this happened. I really want to get full custody of my son after what has happened , I'm concerned that he may end up on the end of my ex's uncontrollable anger. Would it do my custody case a benefit to follow up this stuff with the police?
zingzangzing 10/07/2012 at 5:07 pm
I would appreciate if any one is in a similar position I now find my self in, to give me some advice as what to do. the situation is this I have an injuction against me which stops me visiting my home or approaching my wife. This as you can imagine makes planning visits with my children difficult. the injuction initially expired on june 23rd 2012 and we had a verbal agreement that it would lapse and I would have more freedom to visit the children, but the occupation order would still stand. I was shocked to find that she had extended the original time frame from 2 months to a year it expires in june 2013!! the sudden turn-around now turns out that the year extension was in fact a nasty smoke screen to hide an affair she had been havingThe injuction was served after I was severely provoked over several hours then eventually after ignoring her she savagely punched me in the face several times before I struck her in what I regarded as reasonable self defence. I was nevertheless arrested and after 9 hours in a police cell I was interviewed and was given a simple caution, besides the minor caution the injuction has had the most impact on my life so far. I have lost the right to live in my home , the opportunity to live in my home town where I have lived for over 32 years, I was made homeless and now live with a close friend and his family 52 miles away. The statement she made to the police and on the witnees statement to the court for the injuction was a pack of lies. this I established was the case when her father spoke with my brother and said that she hadnt exactly told the truth to the police. My brother made some enquiries as what had happened and descreetly mention the fact her father had told him she hadnt told the truth to the police. she said she hadnt, she justified that by saying I deserved it. My brother resourcefull recorded the conversation on his mobile phone, and I now have it as a sound file on my friends PC, as does my brother. My brother has also prepared a document to which he will swear to in a court of law if necessary regarding both his conversation with her father and the subsequent telephone conversation.Does anyone know what I can do next to right what I believe is a grave in justice where a woman has used, manipulated and abused the system which in theory should be there to protect both women AND men, to hide what turned out to be a smoke-screen to hide an adulterous affair and a tool to effectively dispose of me any thoughts please? anyone been in a similar position?
yummymummy 27/06/2012 at 12:15 pm
Hi I have been in a relationship with my partner for 3 years now I fell pregnant very early on in the relationship whilst pregnant he mentally abused me accusing me of having affairs, bringing his friends back in the early hours, not returning home from work and I fount him in the pubs worried he'd been in a accident he even tried to smother me with a pillow once whilst I was 7 months pregnant. Baby was born everything was fine then he came out of work and started to drink alot then I did to as I bacame in a low mood because of the lasck of suport I wasnt recieving with a newbornthen another baby. we had an argument and he threatened to take my baby off me as I suffer depression and have social services involved since I was pregnant. so he uses my mental health against me to use my son against me also. when he was threatening this in an argument I screamed the baby's not his of which was worng of me yes as he is the father his reaction to this was to pick up a kitchen knife and throw it at me it hit me just under my eye on my nose I had a massive black eye because of this he was arrested and because of ss involvement I dint press charges out the fear of loosing my baby. then anoher incident happened. I became in a low mood still and depite being deemed no risk to my baby self of others an not suffering mental health just low mood ss decided to ignore this and give care of my baby to my partner tempory whilst awaiting for me to have an independant phyciatric assesment. this came back very positive and they still wouoldnt let me have my baby they even tried threatening him to take custody of me of which he did not do. whilst all this with ss was going on he once had a drink was being violent towards me and after eing arrested again he would provoke me and gode me then record me screaming and shouting at him then cut it off when he was beating me. many people have witnessed what he is like to me and he tried to monipulate people into thinking it was me it was only until they witnessed what he was like they believed me. I stayed with him and have never pressed charges as I was so scared of loosing my son. I got my son back and he lost controll and didnt like it. he bullied me into taking a new tenancy and adding him to it we was there for 7 weeks and every week he would be violent to me I escaped one night and went to my aunties and the police see me then see him coming after me. I was having the domestic violence team ring me 2x a week but was unable to answer as he was always there the police have 999 recordings and a policeman has even seen him assult me before but I didnt press charges. the last incident he ended up being stabbed in the arm as he pushed me into the washing up n I must of grabbed a knife then we argued down the hall I wanted to use my phone then he got me on the floor and the knife went in him as I tried to get him off me. initally he didnt press charges but has now decided to he has kicked me out my flat and told ss lies so I c

Hi, I've done something I really regret, and now we have to pay for it.. Long story short, I found out my husband was cheating on me with my sister while I was pregnant with our child, that was 3 years ago, but I only found out last year. I got very upset, and wanted to get back at him, so I went to the Women's Aid for help. Don't know why I did it, but I just felt so low, I made up stories about domestic abuse, we were arguing in front of our child, which was bad I know, but I told them he's hit me in front of our child, he's threatened to kill me, etc. It wasn't true, but they were so sympathetic I couldn't stop, as I thought I wouldn't go back with him ever again. When they got me to speak to the police officer's , I told them I didn't want him charged, so they never. But now we're back together, I never told him before I went to Women's Aid, but now the Social Services are involved, and want to take us to the Children's panel meeting as my son told the nursery he's dad slapped him, but he never, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant again. My husband said he wouldn't attend any meetings, and cause of my lies to the social services we almost split up. I'm stupid, I know, but at the time I felt soo low and such a be trail and hurt, I just wanted him to pay.. So would I get into trouble if I tell the Social Services that the things I said to women's aid were lies?
MajorDomo 08/06/2012 at 10:44 am
My ex lied about domestic abuse so she could get a council house. Its horrible. You cant prove you are innocent, you are just treated guilty. The Police officer gave me such a filthy look and spoke to me terrible. He even tried breathalising me incase I had been drinking driving (I had not and had not even got out of a car)

And the worse thing? My wife always hit me, head butted me and knocked some of my teeth out, threw me across the room, etc etc for four years. I just took it like a whimp and did nothing.

And when the man turns around and tells the Police you have it wrong, she actually beats me. They don't want to know.

John Doe, I'm totally with you, the system is being used. There are so many people out there who are on a mission to punish abusive men. If they only knew...
John Doe 23/05/2012 at 6:36 pm
...I had not been drinking. I raised the issue whilst being prosecuted in Court the next day after spending 20 hrs in a tiny, cold cell with no daylight. The excuse from the arresting cop was she did not seem drunk to him! It counts for nothinig that we are good citizens, good people, good partners & good fathers...the system is corrupt & it is used & perpetrated by abusers.
dee 21/05/2012 at 3:50 pm
I was accused in Feb 2012 of assaulting my ex partner during a argument when in fact she was drunk and attacking me, I defended myself by pushing her hands away from me and I assume due to her intoxication she fell on her backside, she used a fence to pull her self up up on her feet falling back against it a few times. My Daughters witnessed this at the time and were understandably upset. to cut a long story short I was arrested the following morning and charged with assault, the police did not take into account her drunken state. Since this time she has stopped my contact with my daughters who are 5 and 6 been arrested again for breach of bail where she lied again and I was able to prove this to the satisfaction of the court in total I have spent 43 hours in a cell on the strength of her lies and I have now been convicted of assault by beating. She played the court by insisting that she was behind a screen would not allow me to speak whilst she was in court. The next saga is the family court where I have been to try and regain contact with my Daughters and again she is playing the system on the first occasion she agreed that I could see my girls initially n a contact center for the first couple of meetings this I was not happy about but on the advise of mt solicitor and to show that I was being reasonable I agreed, a week before the contact was to start again she then played her trump card she contacted a domestic violence scheme and made up more lies about me and was placed in a hostel this she is doing to enable her to be moved from her current address to get back in a what I will call a less reputable part of the city where her Mother lives which is what she has always wanted to do for the past 5 years, due to lies again the contact is now not going to go ahead much before xmas and CAFCAS are involved this may be a blessing though they may see through her. The point is as a man you never stand a chance with some women who either know how to manipulate the system or who have access to people who do and magistrates are told to air on the side of caution to in effect believe the woman it took them 45 mins to decide in my case and the said it was close

What can you do if its social services making the false alligation? thats what happend to me the corts ordered a core assment wilst it was origonally my ex who made a aligation saying I attacked my stepson and the police were called the social worker included that in the report without talking to me about it or checking with the police weather anything did actually happen or if they were called out to a incident or even if my ex did report a incident there was no incident the police were never called but the social worker refused to tell the corts the truth she made other false aligations just as easy to prove were untrue about me being a registered alcaholic witch im not and never have been the truth is she blindly belived my ex she dident check anything before including it in the report and even afterwards when my ex admitted in the c.i.n meetings there was never any domestic violence the social worker point blank refused to put in any of the following reports that she never checked anything in her origonal report that none of it was true and that I do not have a known history of domestic violence I had to pretend I was a perpotraitor of domestic violence throughout my 3 year long case and I won shared resadency of my children but could not have resadency because the social worker wouldent let the corts know she lied its now forever on recored with the corts I have a known history of domestic violence with the police when I dont I can prove I dont but social services are refuseing to let the truth come out

They like the way it burns when the torch the soul. It gives them reason (in the eyes of ppl that would otherwise criticise) & gains them sympathy. The ruth always comes out sooner or ltr. The damge is done though, & what do jobsworth lamehogs care? When you are swimming agaisnt a tide of witch-hunt (burn the male) vehemance & greed there's nothing that can be done. It;s why adlutery is a sin in the eyes of good. Cos' it wrecks lives...

I was in exactly the same position as the original commentator signman, the difference is I am a lawyer!In December my 12 year old daughter was being naughty and hid the tv remote control. I asked her to give it back but she wouldn't. I threatened to take her lap top away and she was rude to me. I said I would count to ten and send her up to ther room. She said she didn't care. I said I would count to ten again and slap her led if she didn't give it back. Again she said she didnt care so I slapped her leg. As I did so other half walked in and dialled 999, and when the operator anwered he put the phone down. Sure enough the police turned up. At first she refused to let them in shouting through the window but the police insisted they come in to check everything was alright. She let them in and then lied to the police that I forcibly punched my daughter with vicious intent. Of course I wa arrested and could see my legel career going down the drain.My daughter was video interviwed by the child protection unit the next day and thankfully he told the truth and said she had been naughty and I had merely lapped her gently. She was medically examined by the police doctor and had no marks or bruises. I wa released without charge after spending a cold uncomfortable night in the cells.It was xmas eve when I found out other half was having an affair and new year he announced she was in love and we were splitting.

My ex partner made me move from our house by saying "the girls are not safe with you in the house" they are girls 9 & 12 my world came crashing down. The house went on the market, she gave away a car I bought her for 18k for a measly 5k cash,And now I find out she had drunken nights with a supposed friend of the family. When I emailed her questioning her actions I have the Police knocking on my door telling me I am harassing her. Now she has effectively banned me from my home without a Police escort. Is telling me she is keeping everything although I bought it and has solicitors writing to me threatening injunctions etc etc. The woman has lied and lied simply to portray me as a monster and her as the innocent victim of my actions. The twist is I went to a counsellor because I was so worried and the counsellor told me that for the 3 years I had known her I was in fact a victim of her abuse towards me. I was really, really embarrased to be told this as I am quite a big guy and ex is a petite lady but to make matters worse ex is a practising Psychotherapist who actually charges her clients £45 an hour to help them deal with their abuse issues. I cant win, little old me with 2 cse's against a highly qualified lady who is trained in dealing with abuse issues and charges to advise on them. The Police are backing her fully and I have been made to feel guilty over something I simply have not done !! Its wrong but I will get through it and I mirror another comment I saw " I hadn't realised how sick she really is"

I'm in the United States and happened to find this page. I was dating someone who got pregnant and she was still living with her ex-husband until they could find a different arrangement. Her ex was very jealous and controlling and he threatened to take their four year-old daughter out of state if she didn't leave me. She was very afraid of him, so she left. Next thing I know she is accusing me of DV, filed a restraining order and then kept calling the police saying that I was following her (I wasn't). In the US, restraining order violations are a very big, serious deal and will land you in jail almost without question. The police, luckily, never believed her and I was never even questioned (!). I always suspected that it was her ex-husband who was behind all of this and later I was proven to be correct. I ended up with DV charges - I am in my 40's and have no criminal history or experience with the courts in my life, I had to hire a lawyer and it took a year to fight this case. Finally, the charges were dropped because the prosecutor realized that something was wrong with both of them. The courts did nothing to my ex nor her ex-husband to punish them, and told me that I could file a civil suit if I wanted to for malicious prosecution. That would be expensive and they would lie their way through it anyway, so I declined. One year later and my ex and her ex-husband are now locked in a custody battle over their daughter and it's quite a bitter court case. My ex wants to be in contact with me again. She said what she did to me was wrong and should have never happened. My alleged son just turned 2 and I have never seen him. I want nothing to do with her at all because now I know she will lie, and this impacts my possible relationship with the child. Everyone, including my lawyer and other lawyer friends, are telling me to avoid the situation as much as possible. I am. It's unfortunate that it had to come to this and I won't know for sure if the child is mine, but when your freedom is threatened based on lies you just can't go back. Being accused of DV means that you are guilty in most peoples' eyes. One mention of the accusation and people get up and leave. It has tarnished me forever in some way.

I was also falsely accused of domestic abuse. Initially the accusations were of domestic violence so I resorted to videoing myself 24 hours a day! That was hard work but effective - she couldn't tell any more lies about violence because she would get into trouble, and I wasn't thrown out of my house. In the end she resorted to accusing me of emotional abuse - equally false, but she could get away with it.The most frustrating thing is that once you have been accused of domestic abuse, no one listens to you anymore. I could talk until I was blue in the face, telling people that she was lying, but no one believed me. Claiming to be a victime of domestic abuse is a very powerful tactic.There needs to be a raising of consciousness about these false accusations - if more people are aware of what goes on, there would be more sceptisism. Something needs to be done! Is anyone in the Durham area?

Hi all, currently I have an anti molestation order against me and my ex has an occupation order on the family home (despite the fact she owns outright a 2bed flat of her own) this means I can't go within 100mtrs of a house I own 60% of and that I can only contact her via text message with regards to seeing my kids. I have been seeing my kids so its not so bad. however she only got these injunctions coz she went to the judge with a tear in her eye and said I'd been violent towards her. so far ive been in a cell 3 times since christmas for breaking the contact order and released without charge 3 times too. she tells the cops I'm a violent drug addict and basically they seem to come and arrest me without any evidence what so ever. I'm fighting in court to get her injunctions over turned. however doing research on the web I'm finding out that these things VERY RARELY get over turned. they will always believe a crying woman over a man. I can also tell you that in the county/family courts there is NO burden of proof required this means she doesnt have to prove ANY of her allegations which is lucky for her because there is no proof. its decided by the judge whether its probable I did the things she said. statements have gone back and forth and I'm just hoping that ive shown enough evidence that she's lied through out her statement with regard to things that can be proven to show what a liar she is. because of her injunctions she's even managed to put the house which I own 60% of, up for sale without telling me. she failed to tell the judge that also! despite all this I'd still like us to get back together and be a family again (stupid or what!!!!)
bashir 03/03/2012 at 12:42 am
I married to my wife and had a son , problems came in like , some issues became so big ( only because of false statements by her ).finally got separated ( not divorced). Now situtaion is she is not letting me see my son or even talk to him over phone. I tried to involve family friends , instead of getting any better she is accusing me for torture and so many stuff ( which never happened). My question if I go to court will Judge give importance to her false statements? Will I be refused to see my child? I havent seen him for months I am so desperate to see him , fathers in my state can understand my feelings ( just like dying every single moment , ) Please advice. Thanks
DougPreston 24/02/2012 at 3:05 am
Wow - I'm not alone! Not seen my son since 17th January, when my ex got a solicitors letter stating that I want him or I will go to court she falsified domestic violence, harassment, criminal damage and drug use claims.I was arrested and am on bail for ABH and harassment!She claims bruises on her wrist she attended hospital with whileShe was pregnant were from me assaulting her.The incident which involved me holding her arms to stop her assaulting me yet again which was explained to the officer at the time in 2004!!!Her other claim is I harassed her by sending texts and calling.How am I supposed to arrange custody?Is it harassment if I'm asking questions?Surely she has forced me to contact her by not responding to my questions, not replying to the solicitors letter and not agreeing to mediation?Last gripe: the CSA - I always laugh at this and make them answer this question I suggest you all do it as well;"can I clarify then that the less I have my child, the more I need to pay in maintenance?""Even if, it is my ex who is unlawfully withholding my child from me"Outrageous!!!Will keep you posted - any advice? I'm applying for a contact order at present
ian81 20/02/2012 at 3:52 pm
i ent seen my son in 2 years and have been at court as long. i was blamed of hitting and mentally abusing my ex. and the funny thing is it was the other way round. when i had enough and left her she went nuts and attacked me. i stopped her by holding her arms so she could not hit me.
i went to court and got done for self defence deemed just over reasonable? she lied in court the court believed me over her and her mum. yet she did not get done for lying in court or on her statements to the police. and when she stopped me seeing my son 2 years after all this. she is using it at court now. but instead for my past conviction saying i was defending myself it says i was done for battery???? witch if you look into the case is not what happened at all. i have never been in any sort of trouble with the police and live my life by the there is never any need to raise your hands to anyone.
but she can lie and lie and i have done nothing but tell the truth and my son is being told he cant see his daddy cos i am nuts. i even showed the judge am email from my ex's sister saying her sister is not a honest person and she was coming to me to find out what really happened. yet this did not set any alarm bells off in his head that she may be dishonest. that email was about my ex teaching my son to call another man daddy a man who was never around in the week as he worked away. and when he was around at the weekend my son was spending it with me. and she was only with him for 8 months at that time. but hey thats all in the email from her sister to me and a judge has seen it yet i still can not see my son with out supervision. me and my son have been taken the piss out of by a court system built to stop this sort of thing happening. and it is the sole reason y so many women cry wolf and get away with if. lies come at us from all directions and the truth only ever comes from one direction. so its easy to see witch one wins 9 out of 10 of the time.

bigbrownking 26/01/2012 at 11:42 pm
I was accused of domestic violence on the 28th of July, 2011. I was found not guilty by a specialist domestic violence court on the 20th of October, 2011.it is now Jan 2012, I have not seen my daughter for 6 months. due to the civil proceedings the other party has brought against me. I also brought civil proceedings againts her, however, the judge feels as the social workers were happy with her everything as fine. I'm apparantly too dangerous to have contact even supervised with my daughter- the fact that I was found NOT GUILTY in a SDVC has no bearing- how bizzarre! messed up system.
Ace 21/01/2012 at 8:33 am
Don't worry about the lie's your wife is saying to get you in troble. Remember the fact" that they are weak and devious. You should have kept a closer eye on your wife's association's and stuff she has been reading. I'm in the same boat as you and due in court in Feb 2012. So long as you stay on the right side of it all' you will come out winning.
Remember God not only see' buRAt act's at all wrong doing.
Be good and watch God' at work.
Innocent 17/01/2012 at 1:49 am
I am currently in a situation where my ex wife is trying to falsely accuse of domestic violence and get me done for section 18 and 20. Police previously have dropped charges on me twice because there was no evidence! And then she has the nerve to blame one of her inuries that happened months ago on me aswel. Shes obsessed with the police and reporting me only to get a divorce. Her mother instigated the whole thing and its like they both working very hard to set me up. Now they claim they have pictures of bruises on her body from the past which I wasnt aware of?? Am wondering when did this happen? We did split up on and off all the time in the 1 and a half year we were together. So am thinking each time she went to her mums house her mother told her to bruise her self to help her case when she sends me the divorce petition as any domestic evidence will show unreasonable behaviour in the relationship and she will be favoured in court. Her mother really hates me as her mother wanted her daughter to control me and control my money but because I was too smart for that her mother realised she cant swindle me easily. They took £8k of gold jewellery from my family which was a family investment and now denying they dont have it to my solicitor even though the police handed over the gold. So already they been caught lying and now they pushing their luck with false allegations of assault! Av been on bail for like 6 months and its now going to crown court coz she keeps adding more things on the domestic list!! Its so stressfull and I cant think straight. I think she wants me to go crazy. But am a patient person and strong minded. I dont understand how the police and defending solicitors can go this far without thinking how many times she has tried setting me up and they letting her continue with this accusing evil behaviour. The whole case is now going to crown court and I dont mind because I have audio evidence that she lied about previous assaults on me. So hopefully I will get justice for being falsely accused. May god help this evil world. Any views on my Situation?

Wife recently walked out on my disabled daughter and me. 2 weeks later the local police called and arrested me over allegation made by my wife, of me assaulting her. I was gobsmacked over these false allegations, and I am now on police bail to return to police station at later date.My wife now has the support of the police as a victim of domestic violence. What a joke! And I am left worried sick over the lies made by her. My wife had the privilege of making a statement over a nice cup of tea and biscuits. I had my liberty taken away for several hours D.N.A photographed, slung in a cell and questioned while being taped. Still in a state of shock? So unfair.
Zepp1 14/04/2011 at 1:18 pm
Thanks for the info on false accusations, the past two years have been a nightmare for my kids, myself & family due to my ex wifes false allegations and outright lies to the police,her solicitor,family courts, schools, and many others! I have sat back for the sake of the kids to save them further suffering at her hands, she bullied, beat and intimidated them for many years and I had hoped that the truth would be known in time! Although I hadn't realised how sick she really is!.
