My question involves a child custody case from the State of: New York
I am the father of two kids, 9 and 10. Currently have joint legal custody and joint placement (50/50). Ex wife has petitioned the court to grant her sole placement and legal custody. I have been recently indicated in a CPS case for inadequate guardianship, and she has some email stuff that might go against me, but otherwise a lot of her case is hearsay from the kids.
I am a little concerned that the attorney for the kids said that they verified a lot of what is in my ex's petition, BUT he also said he is obligated to represent what the kids wishes are. The kids wishes are for things to stay the way they are. I am wondering how big of a deal the CPS thing will be and if it will help me that the attorney for the child is on my side about not changing custody. And any other advice on how to proceed. My attorney did recommend my ex and I see and counselor separately to work on co-parenting, and I am going to do that and hoping that will also go in my favor.
