For some reason, my evidence of abuse wasn’t submitted properly and didn’t reach the court.
I do have a record of her claiming that I never helped out with the household, and that there haven’t been any serious issues with our kids since our last conference.
I also have a viral video that she posted showing our sons, which contradicts her statement.
Plus, I have proof of the thousands of dollars I’ve given her to help our children.
If your judge was an associate judge, you might be able to appeal to a district judge.
If not, your best option might be a motion to reconsider or motion for further temporary orders.
You might have other options depending on where you are. It could help to talk to a local lawyer. Good luck.
It depends on where you are, but temporary orders usually can’t be appealed.
Edit: You might want to try to file a request to modify the temporary orders instead.

The judge didn’t ignore the evidence; it wasn’t submitted properly.

It’s frustrating because there is a lot of evidence.
Normally, you can’t introduce new evidence during an appeal.

What if it’s evidence of abuse?

Even if it’s evidence of abuse, usually you can’t use it in an appeal. If it’s child abuse, you could always report it to CPS.
@Thorne
CPS keeps saying they won’t get involved, even with the bruises, broken bones, and everything else.
What about filing another motion to restrict custody?

Are you the only one reporting this to CPS? If the child has broken bones, doctors should also report it. CPS ignoring reports from doctors is more serious. If they aren’t reporting it, take the child to another doctor. If CPS still doesn’t respond, try contacting the state office directly.
@Madeline
How do I go over CPS?
The broken arm was reported, but they said it was inconclusive, though there are other incidents.
I’ve reported everything with evidence, but they won’t investigate.
I’m tempted to just post all the evidence and pictures online with the viral video and let the internet handle it.
@Daniella
You should contact the state office and explain that the local CPS office is ignoring your reports. Is the child seeing a doctor for these injuries? If so, why isn’t the doctor reporting it to CPS?
@Madeline
The child is 3 years old and is not being seen by a doctor. The other party doesn’t admit the abuse or the neglect they are causing.
The court also doesn’t seem to recognize that they are not following court orders.
@Daniella
If there are broken bones, the child should be seen by a doctor. Something doesn’t add up here.

I misspoke.
The CPS investigation was inconclusive because there wasn’t enough evidence, even though the suspected person admitted fault.
The child is not currently seeing a doctor.
