How should I proceed with a divorce involving emergency child custody or domestic violence child custody, given that both scenarios are applicable? I have collected texts indicating physical violence by my spouse, but no police records exist. Additionally, my child has been taken to the emergency hospital multiple times without my knowledge, and I have evidence of neglect and physical harm to my child. I also have incidents of physical abuse towards my sister's kids and threats made by my spouse's family members. How can I effectively use these facts and evidence to support my case for child custody?

I was recently scammed $19.99 by an unknown person who used my debit card information to book a ride using Lyft. I have contacted my bank and Lyft, but Lyft refuses to provide me with the names and addresses associated with the ride, citing their user privacy policy. I am concerned about my safety as the fraudster may have access to my physical address. Is Lyft exposing itself to civil/criminal liability by denying me this information, especially given their privacy policy section 4b which states they can share personal information with 'other parties' such as myself, a victim of fraud?
