False Accusations of Child Abuse in Georgia
False Accusations of Child Abuse in Georgia
It’s something no one wants to think about, even in the most contested and ugly of Georgia child custody battles the idea that one partner might falsely accuse another of child abuse in order to obtain child custody. Fortunately, false accusations of child abuse are rather rare: under 10 percent of accusations of child abuse are false. However, of that 10 percent, the majority do not originate with the child, but instead with an adult bringing accusations on behalf of the child. And of those, most occur in child-custody or divorce battles. Unfortunately, especially for very contested cases of divorce full of bitterness and mutual acrimony, false accusations of child abuse are a weapon some parents are willing to use to keep their children away from their other parent.
