Q: My daughter's paternal grandma spent many years being very kind to me and bad mouthing her son when he was less than a good father to our child. The dad (her son) is now stepping up to the plate and wants custody of our child, and she turned against me and lied in an affidavit (made things up that I did and said.) I believe now that her son wants custody she thinks she will have a more secured grandparent role so has turned against me and buddied with him. I know she will go to our custody hearing as a witness and lie and slander me to assist in making me look like a bad parent so her son gets custody. I'm concerned she is saying bad things to my daughter about me and generally I feel she is a liar and not a good influence in the mean time. What can I do?
A: David's Answer: To receive an order of protection, you must allege & be prepared to prove a domestic violence crime as been committed. Lying is not good, and may even constitute perjury, but does not constitute domestic violence. The best way to handle a liar is to hire a good lawyer & prepare to challenge her lies with evidence to the contrary. Schedule a consult with a NYC Child Custody lawyer for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
