False Child Abuse Allegations in Divorce Proceedings: Back To Top
  • Distinguishing Between True And False Allegations Of Child Sexual Abuse In Divorce Cases: Responding To Criminal Charges. The vast majority of child abuse allegations in divorce and custody proceedings are untrue (96% - Underwager).

Transcripts from a winning case are discussed in detail. This document is a must for any trial attorney who is inexperienced in handling this style of case. Those who live in outlying areas, where it is impossible to find an attorney who knows how to handle this kind of case, should give this to your attorney right away so he can do his homework!

  • Mary D., Petitioner v. HONORABLE CLARENCE WATT JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF PUTNAM COUNTY AND GEORGE D., RESPONDENTS, [190 W. Va. 34, ; 438 S.E. 2nd 521; 1992 W. Va. LEXIS 76]. In a candid dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Workman wrote: "We now have a system in which a female parent need only scream child abuse in a loud voice to keep the male parent from seeing a child. Indeed, sexual abuse these days seems to arouse all the hysteria that was associated with witchcraft in yesteryear. In fact, it has even spawned a witch-huntingesque cottage industry, to-wit badly trained, ideological rape trauma experts, rape counselors, bachelor level pseudo-psychologists, social activists, and other assorted species of Jacklegs. I am a firm believer that the best interests of the child are paramount, but that does not mean never allowing a father to see his children when the evidence preponderates on his behalf even though, like an accused witch, he cannot clear himself beyond any shadow of a doubt. Continuous yelling and screaming of an accusation does not make that accusation any more true."
