But right now, we are just getting started.
Question:
My ex and I have been divorced for ten years. We had a son. He is 14. My ex has talked him into
living with him. We have joint custody. We talked with a mediator (mandated by the courts) and We have to do what ever my son wants. I do not feel this is right... but I do agree he could stay with his dad. Now we are hashing out the little things. I will not let him go til the Judge signs the papers. My ex has received the papers that my lawyer has drawn up. Now he thinks this if final. He will not let me pick my son up from his normal visitation. I do not know if this is legal. I can not get a hold of my lawyer or the Court house to see if the judge has signed them. I should let you know I have not signed anything. Do I let him stay or should I pick him up?
Your immediate reply would be greatly appreciated. L.
The Truth As I See It!
Seeing as how this is all being dragged through the court system, it is
in your best interest to err on the side of caution. I suggest you leave
your son with his father until you are able to follow up on a legal
basis. In turn, though it may be difficult, this makes you out to be the
one playing it fair. It'll also look good in any court situation.
It is also wise not to end up putting your child in the middle of what
may become a heated situation. Best to leave him where he is this time,
and go by the legal method as soon as possible.
It may be difficult and trying, but I feel this method will be the best
for both you and your son.
Good luck!
