Ex Wife Being Abused By New Boyfriend, Custody Of My Children.

This is a throw away account and names won’t be used in my story.

I (42M) recently divorced ex wife (40F) we have two children together under age 10. Before the divorce was final, I moved out and she had a new guy move into my home with her. I did a little research on him and saw he has MANY arrests for various abuse/DUI charges.

Fast forward, Saturday night he choked her, I have my kids every weekend so they were not in the home when it happened. She sent me pictures and told me what happened yesterday.

I’m emailing the info to my lawyer and going to try for emergency custody of my kids. Should I involve the cops? The home is still in my name but she has two years in it agreed in the divorce decree.

I’ve built a fairly large case but feeling like the court won’t take my side since I’m the father but I’m very worried for the safety of my children. Any advice would be appreciated.
