Custody Battle- in need of resources
my daughter disclosed 8 months ago that her bio-dad had been sexually abusing her and her sisters. Everything was taken care of legally in terms of contacting CPS and the Police and getting our family into counselling. Bio dad denied he ever touched the girls but would not cooperate with Police and even lied about the passcodes on his phone so that they could not gain access. Heart breakingly her case was closed with the knowledge that bio dad had hired the top criminal defence lawyer in area.
So I am now in process of divorce and have intermitten rights of primary caregiver with no access. But recently he contacted my lawyer about getting supervised visitation. I do not want my girls to have to have a relationship with their sexual abuser who is unwillingly to own up to his mistakes so I am needing help with finding actual resources that would educate a judge about keeping my girls from having any contact with their father for their own mental health and journey to healing.
Does anyone have any resources they could offer?

I was sexually assaulted as a kid. I find it hard to accept that another person's actions caused me so much harm. He made bad choices and now I am paying the price. Stupid PTSD!
Also, you said all y’all were in therapy... maybe contact your therapist??
And finally, maybe contact your lawyer.. maybe they have some ideas... if the lawyer says anything along the line of “the case is closed, I can’t do anything”... then quietly say “ thank you for your time, sorry to bother you, and start looking for another lawyer.. if they do help you out, that’s even better...
You have many folks around you who can help... really hope they do...
I know you’re stressed.. i also know that hearing ( reading) from anyone positive is a calming thing...
You and your girls will be ok.. just a very bumpy road ahead of you..
and if he or the courts say anything ( positive or negitive) try your hardest to remain calm. And wait till it’s proven to you..
People get weird with lawyers and courts..
false accusations, yelling very mean things, and many false promises...
Your girls are watching how you handle things. ( not trying to pressure you, please don’t think that)
Hang in there.. you will get through this..
