False Abuse Accusations in Divorce or Family Court

False accusations of abuse during divorce or custody cases are devastating—and alarmingly common. Whether it’s a strategic move by your ex to gain custody or a malicious attack on your character, the emotional and legal fallout can be enormous.

If this is happening to you, stay calm. Reacting emotionally may feel natural, but it can harm your case. Instead, document everything—texts, emails, social media posts, and missed visitations. Use communication apps like Talking Parents or Our Family Wizard to keep a clear, court-admissible record of your interactions.

Hire a family law attorney immediately—someone who understands both family court and the criminal implications of false abuse claims. Your lawyer can help you challenge protection orders, request custody evaluations, and defend your parental rights.

Don’t try to fight fire with fire. Never speak negatively about your ex to your child or retaliate on social media. Focus on staying present, consistent, and calm—qualities that courts look for in a safe and stable parent.

Remember, being falsely accused is terrifying, but not the end. With the right strategy and documentation, you can defend your truth and protect your future. I've written a guide walking you through proactive steps to protect yourself, build your case, and deal with that narcissistic Ex.
