Coparent Out To Get Me.

Myself (F 27) and my coparent (M 26) have been coparenting (or trying) since 2020 when our daughter (4) was born. I live in KY by the TN boarder and he currently resides in Indiana. We split up early on and were on good terms for coparenting until my ex met his now fiancé (F20) about two years ago. After she came into the picture things spiraled and ended up with us in a year long custody battle. I was granted primary custody with him receiving every other weekend.

Here is where the recent issues start. He has been not willing to cooperate with the parenting plan the judge set forth, won’t pay his portion of copays, complains every time child support is due and moved out of the state without notifying the court or myself of his move. I only found out because our daughter ended up in the hospital on his weekend visitation. Constantly asks me to let our daughter live with him and when I refuse he starts arguments about how he believes he’s the better parent.

Today I found out that he falsified a CPS report stating there was abuse going on in my home. My husband and I were both interviewed, the agent came into our home and said she would be closing the case. He also stated I had abandoned our daughter because he requested a longer holiday visitation and I agreed. He’s fighting for custody so he doesn’t have to pay child support, yet she doesn’t even have a room at his home. From my understanding her and another child in the home sleep on the couch or they put up a sheet and a cot in their bedroom for her. Not to mention they live in his fiancés family home with her entire family and it was mentioned in the CPS report that they refused entry to the agents. She comes home constantly smelling of cigarettes and animal and when I asked him he told me it’s none of my business what happens in his home.

I’m at a loss of where things went so wrong and honestly I’m scared for the lengths he’s taking to try to get custody. What legal avenues do have to help me? At what point does something constitute harassment? And will a judge grant sole custody because of a failure to coparent after just four month of having a set arraignment?
