Q: I have a joint custody agreement. Ex won't ever take the kids. They are teens can I make him take them?
My ex is abusive to me and the kids are also abusive to me. I signed the joint agreement so he wouldn't have to pay cs anymore and now he is making it impossible for them to stay with him. I don't find your response helpful. They are abusing me and my 7 year old son yet once again its all about what's best for them. No one has protected me or the rest of my family this whole time over 10 years!! They refuse to get counseling and flat out refuse to speak and laugh at the counselors I have forced them to go to. This is not about "my problems" so you can stop acting like I'm the horrible parent. This is exactly why I was afraid to leave him before and why so many women stay. No one will help after you leave. And yes I can prove to you that is true!! I can show paperwork!! Also how can I afford to hire a lawyer to help me. I get no help from anywhere!! Legal aid is a joke and will only help if he files something on me!!
A:
You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem. I know you're very upset with your problems, but do you really want your kids with an abusive father? Your attorney should help you terminate the joint custody, and secure counseling for you and the kids.
Good luck.
