My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Florida.
My wife and her son's father are in a court battle because my wife has her son (My step-son) full-time, he lives with us and his father see's him maybe once per month. He is always late on child support if he pays at all and he rarely tries to communicate with his son. He is supposed to have visitation every other weekend and once per week per a past court agreement, however he never follows it.
My wife filed a case against him for non payment of child support, plus going against the past court order of never seeing his son nor helping pay for things required such as insurance, sports, etc.
Fast forward a month from when this was filed and we get a knock on the door at our house...It's DCF investigators with a report stating that my wife and I abuse our children, do not feed them and have them in a bad living situation.
We know this was filed by my step-sons fathers current wife, as she has verbally made threats to my wife and her husbands sister and family. She is a known drug user and always in trouble with the law, however, DCF would not confirm who made the report.
Coincidentally the same report was filed against my step-sons fathers sister and family the same day!
To make a long story short, is there any way to pursue actions against her for making false reports, even though we have no hard evidence? Everyone knows the step-mother filed these reports just to cause a scene during these court proceedings, but DCF won't release who filed the claims!
In Florida I know it's a Felony to file such claims.
I was interviewed, my wife was interviewed, our kids were taken out of class at school to be interviewed, the father's sister and her kids were also interviewed and DCF found NOTHING, because nothing was wrong in the first place.
