    Default Ex Wife Wants to Put Us in the Middle of Current Divorce

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: OK

    My ex wife has sole custody of my daughter and is going through a messy divorce/child custody battle with her current husband. Our divorce was far from pleasant but with the help of my current wife we have salvaged the relationship & get along for the best interest of my daughter.

    My ex has now asked for my wife & I to testify as a character witness in her divorce. My wife & I both feel this would not be in our best interest & fear that it will damage what we have built. She has been very good at giving us extra time to spend with my daughter but after being through a divorce with her I still know what she is capable of.

    We have both told her we don't want to do this, but she continues to push & we know if she subpeona's us we will be forced to testify.

    Does she have a lawyer?

    I would be surprised if a lawyer thought it wise to subpoena a reluctant witness as a character witness.

    Yes, but I am thinking she probably has him convinced we 'get along' & would be willing. I have explained as well as my wife has taken time to try & explain it would not be in the best interest of my daughter to testify. Especially since she isn't willing to give me joint custody...I or my wife for that matter say one thing she doesn't like & 'bam' no more extra time with my daughter! She is good at giving extra time as long as everything goes her way.

    Thanks for the info! Glad to know I am on the right track with my thinking!

    I recommend that you explain to her, that while you are very happy that you have been able to work things out between you for the benefit of you daughter, the issues that caused your divorce would come up in questioning and your honest answers would probably hurt her case, more than help it.

    Alternatively, if you can help her honestly, and can use it as a bargaining chip to move to joint custody of your daughter, see what you can negotiate.
