My ex has given me the worst of divorces

You are absolutely entitled to whatever information is in the CPS file involving the investigation. If they continue to give you the run around you can file a motion under Welfare and Institutions Code section 827 requesting the records be admitted to the family law court for review and to you.

Is it better to choose an attorney who has several cases right now, or someone who has fewer cases and therefore, more time?

It is best to go with your gut reaction to the attorney. Some attorneys are busy because they are fantastic - others because they just take on every case they can get. Some attorneys keep a reasonable case load so they can do a fantastic job - others just can't get cases. We can't tell you which attorney would do a better job for you. What I usually tell people - including friends who need an attorney is - when you get to a point in your case where you really don't know what you...

The decision to charge him a an adult or a juvenile is made by the D.A. based on the circumstances. Talk to a criminal attorney in your area who handles Juvenile Delinquency. There are several good ones on this site. He will get a public defender when he goes to court, but would benefit from at least consulting before he goes to court.

Sexual abuse in preschool, how to report this?

Sexual abuse allegations are very serious. When you say the 3.5 year old "started complaining she has been sexually abused" - what is the 3.5 year old saying? I would not put it on this on line venue - but then you say you noticed she was in pain twice - what exactly does that mean?? I don't want you to answer me online. Call Child Protective Services in your area and take your child to her pediatrician for an exam ASAP. Call the police if the child is telling you she is bening abused....

What exactly does having 100% legal custody mean when it comes to making choosing a doctor or therapist?

100% legal custody means you make decisions relating to health, education and welfare - you are correct. If his attorney files something and you have to go to court and respond - hire an attorney and ask for attorneys fees - his attorney should know better than that.

Husband trying to find reasons to charge me with Child Abuse since we are going through a divorce and custody fight.

Taking your daughter to the police stationm to "report" that scratch seems pretty outrageous. How old is your daughter? It shows poor judgment on his part to put her in the middle of your dispute. To protect your self - keep tact of all police reports - the names of officers or social workers you have to deal with and report numbers and dates. The name of the Agency that contacts you (if they do) If he is really filing crazy reports, then the police and or CPS will stop listening to him....
