If your children are coming between you, you're not running the show, your kids are. You have to present the appearance of a united front to them, even when it couldn't be farther from the truth.
Children are not pure-hearted angels, they have objectives and interests of their own, and they display the ability to exploit disunity when they see it in their parents and pit them against each other for gain, and kids can lie just as well as you or I can. Having said all that, that doesn't mean you should disregard what your child tells you, far from it, esp depending on the nature of the allegation, and as an adult you should be able to rationally discern and investigate whatever the issue is.
And if you trust an adult partner less than the child of that union in normal circumstances, something is inherently wrong with that pairing, or the adult in question.
