Fighting for a Daughter: A Father's Journal of Battling False Abuse Charges in "Family" Court to Maintain a Relationship

Guy Madison's marriage was far from perfect, but the birth of his daughter Ashley brought promise. However, just four months later, his wife took Ashley with her and conceived of an Action for a Divorce that included child abuse. A Judge, without ordering any investigation, imposed limited, supervised visitation.

A Separation Agreement later increased visitation. But when Guy's daughter was four, he had an argument with his ex--and 15 minutes later her sister called in charges to Child Protective Services (CPS) that stripped Guy of visitation.

Thus began Guy's Hellish odyssey of defending himself to Family Court, Court-appointed therapists and CPS caseworkers. A history followed of Guy getting visitation back, only to be thwarted by further accusations. Starting at the age of ten, Guy was no longer allowed to see his daughter--unless she wanted to. Unfortunately, she was brainwashed well by then.

Guy continued his fight until Ashley was 18, no longer a minor. A "decision of interest" was made then that was published in his State's Law Journal. But it was too late for Guy and Ashley, their relationship ruined by false charges and the people who entertained them.

Fighting for a Daughter is a true story that will frighten any parent. It is the culmination of the author's notes, CPS documents, and Court transcripts that span a quarter century.
