Hi
I am after some urgent advice as I am in a right panic at the moment.
The following is related to a false rape claim but I need to tell you the current situation first:
Me and my partner lived together for 5yrs, and we have a 3yr old daughter.
On tuesday she told me the relationship was over and I ended up stopping at my mums with my daughter tuesday and wednesday night as my ex partner has a long history of depression and I felt more comfortable with my daughter being with me.
During this time I contacted a legal help team about what rights I had with regards to my daughter and I was told that because I am on the birth certificate that I had equal rights and that I could keep my daughter with me until it goes to courts unless my daughters welfare was at stake.
And then this afternoon (thursday) I got a knock on the door from a courts official serving me papers and saying I had to hand my daughter over immediately. I was completely devastated and heartbroken.
When I had said my goodbyes I read the court order and she had done a 7 page statement basically making out I was abusive in our relationship, that I constantly argued with her in front of our daughter and mostly worryingly she has said that I raped her 2 years ago.
Now my ex suffers from a long history of mental health problems before and after i met her including attempted suicides, self harm, aggression, physical abuse towards me which I have photos of bruises, I even had to call police on her once as she started trashing our flat. Also she has cheated on me in past.
My question is, I received this order with her statement in of false rape this afternoon and its now 1am and I have had no police knock on my door. Does this mean that she wont have pressed charges? also the fact that she mentioned to a custody judge that I apparently raped her as a way of just using it as more evidence towards her custody case for our daughter would the courts take the case up themselves even if she hasn't pressed charges?
And lastly the rape apparently happened 2 years ago but yet 2 years ago we was a happy couple with a baby and since the alleged rape took place we have since had a healthy sex life, we got engaged, she has put numerous facebook statuses saying how I am her loving man and best daddy in the world etc, we have been planning a wedding and most importantly she is quite happy for me on my own to look after our daughter whilst shes at college during week - now does this sound like the actions of someone who had been raped by their partner 2 years previous?
Now I know my ex and I know she is making all this up to get custody of our daughter, so you think I should stop worrying and concentrate on the custody case that I have to go to court for next week or is there a chance I could get there and be charged for this?
Also she told me at the start if the relationship that she had been raped in the past by one of her mothers ex bfs but she has never told anyone about it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
