    Default Re: Custody Case Coming Up. My Chances Are

    he doesnt have a school counselor to speak with, and i want to have him speak to a therapist.
    Thing is I corrected him in the past about the disrespect of his mother, but then she turns right around a disrespects me so then he in return disrespect her. but he would never speak to me sideways, and she doesnt lke it.
    this change of circumstance thing is the chunk of ice that could sink my titanic.

    I'm not even sure you had a canoe, let alone a Titanic. Sorry, but it is what it is.

    With that said...how old is your son?

    he is 14.
    i have to have something to lean on...the past contempt, the police reports of me kidnapping him because i took him to florida without her permission even though i had him call her, the harrassing texts, the making of her own rules and basically saying f the courts. i cant believe that this is not enough and that she will be allowed to carry on like this.

    The bolded is actually NOT in your favor - at ALL. Also, are you saying that his high school doesn't have a school counselor?

    Please, speak with a local attorney. That's honestly your best bet.

    to the bolded...... i had to go to court for that one...she tried to get supervised visitation for me.....but the judge understood that the mother gave me permission to have the child for a certain period of time. once the child is in my care i dont have to tell the mother anything about where i am taking him because i am the father. He also said that its nothing in the court order that said i could not take him across state lines. my only booboo was that i took him out of school.

    You have a change in circumstance in that his grades are suffering. He's 14, his opinion isn't going to decide anything, but would be considered. So, his advancing age and falling grades are what you go with. You could <maybe> have a compelling argument in that he's reaching an age where his interaction with his father is going to affect the kind of man grows into. Make sure that yours is not the "fun" and permissive household. If so, his desire to live with you will not be viewed to be in his best interests.

    Where did OP say that kiddo's grades were suffering? "He's not doing well" doesn't necessarily mean that the custodial arrangement is the cause....and OP also took the child out of school without permission.

    I seriously recommend this OP speak with an attorney - because I don't think he actually has a compelling argument.
