When I told my TBM husband regarding my research about the church, and that I no longer believed Joseph's Myth, he gave me an ultimatum. If I left the church he would divorce me, use my mental health records in court against me to get custody of the kids, and then do everything in his power to make it as difficult as he could for me to see the children.
He has made good on his threat. The divorce was final several years ago, but he was successful in getting a judge to sign off on supervised visitation whenever I am with my minor children.
The story has played out to the point that the youngest child who is living in the household with my ex and his new wife is now nearly 15.
My mental health issues stabilized after I was no longer being abused by my ex-husband. I have been under the care of mental health professionals for the past several years, and I have yearly letters providing documentation of my stability.
It is time to get the court ordered supervision for visitation changed.
I need advice on a good Ex-Mormon, or Ex-Mo friendly family law attorney in Utah County.
Also, I was told that I may need a farily thorough Psyche Eval which may later be presented to the courts, if necessary.
Thus, I also need advice on a good Ex-Mormon, or Ex-Mo friendly Psychologist in Utah County.
Someone recommended the name of a Dr. Livingstone in the Provo area, and I would welcome any input regarding him.
I should have taken my ex-husband back to court years ago to get this mess fixed. I just couldn't face it until now. My ex is very manipulative, and it causes me extreme psychological trauma to see his face or hear his voice. (think of a rape victim needing to be in the same room with her rapist)
Finally have a little money saved up, and hopefully have the courage to get this situation fixed.
I am not trying to fight for anything to be changed in the divorce decree, only to get the stipulation removed that I must be supervised around my minor-aged child.
