First of all, I would imagine that there are people who have a different perspective than you do on the situation. They may be wrong; that is something I have no way of knowing and can’t possibly have an opinion on. But the fact is that in any divorce situation, there are always people who have a different take on the situation. In some cases one is wrong and one is right, in some they are both wrong, and in some cases, they are both right. But that is the reality in just about any divorce (or any situation involving people and relationships and conflicts).
I know you say the facts are known. But I don’t know what that means. Known by who? Known how? Were these people witnesses? If not, they don’t know. And even if they were witnesses, they may have thought there were extenuating situations or may not have perceived it as abuse.
