DSS came to my house today.

I guess I'm looking for support. I (25M) share custody of my 4yo daughter with her (25) mother. We have a week on, week off arrangement set on paper by the courts. This allows us to both be present for our daughter and take her to school, schedule appointments, playdates, birthdays, everything that goes with raising a child.During my week with our daughter, my ex began calling and texting me, insisting that we meet in person to discuss our daughter's arrangement. We agreed on a time and place, but when I texted her earlier that day to confirm our meeting, she got back to me a whole two hours after the time of our meeting had already passed to tell me she had other business come up. This put me in a pretty bad mood, but I tried to salvage what I could of the day and asked if we could just speak over the phone to discuss whatever she felt the need to discuss.Some hours later she refused my request and told me that an investigation had been filed regarding our daughter's well-being and that she would prefer to keep her full-time until the investigation was complete. Keep in mind that all of our correspondences on this topic so far have been completely through text, which seems incredibly mechanical and impersonal considering the subject matter is our daughter.My response was less than warm; I told her she had no right to keep our daughter from me, investigation or no, and that I expected her back at the regular appointed time. The next day DSS called me (I was asleep; I work nights) and then called my wife to set up a time to visit our home. The caseworker was kind enough to tell us that a complaint was filed for our daughter's well-being and that she would check in on us every 2 weeks for the next month and a half.The allegations detailed in the complaint are that we physically discipline her, leaving bruises (we've always had a strong aversion to spanking; we hate it. A time-out and a distraction is always our go-to method for discipline), we don't bathe her frequently or at all (we make her shower at least every other day unless she's been playing outside, getting especially dirty) and that we don't take her to school (she goes every day!).Guys, I'm livid. These allegations against me and my wife are completely out of line. While I know this case is going to get dropped because she doesn't have a leg to stand on, it really irritates us. We have two other children together (4yo and 18mo) that are now going to be affected by this investigation, because my ex decided it's a good time to be petty. It's hard trying to juggle three kids, working and maintaining our sanity.Anyone been in the same boat? I'm freaking out.TL;DR: Ex called DSS on me for false allegations and now all three of my kids and my wife and I get to deal with the 45-day investigation. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2BqMONL
