This is the vast majority of false accusations, I believe. Divorces get very nasty very fast, and it is easy to allege abuse or marital rape as part of the proceedings without actually going to the police to file a report. Your lawyer may even try to talk you into it. My father has a friend who was trying to hire an aggressive divorce lawyer known for always winning, and the lawyer asked her, "Did he ever threaten you?" She said no, and he said firmly, "I'm asking you... did he ever do anything to make you feel afraid? Make you nervous about having him in the home?" She insisted no, and he refused to take her case.
Innocent until proven guilty does not apply in family court, because the judge just gets to decide who they believe more. Poof, kids are gone.
