Q: my ex husband has custody of our two youngest children, 14 and 11. I did not fight him for custody out of fear of hurti
them in the process. I dealt with custody and court as a child and it has bothered me my whole life. I have recently realized that he was not fair whatsoever when he came up with his parenting plan nor does he value the little time that i get with them. He is constantly trying to come up with something that they planned for them to do and it requires me missing my weekend with them. I only get every other weekend with them as it is. I found out, from finally being able to talk to my daughter for the first time in almost 2 wks, that my 14 yr old son, who has respiratory issues already, is now sick with a 102 degree temperature. They will not take to the doctor and i asked him to do so. How should i go about getting him to the doctor? and how do i go about modifying my parenting time, custody of my daughter who wants to live with me, and dealing with him trying to take up the little bit of time that i do get with my kids? I am so heart broken and lost as to what i should/need to do.
A: You should consult an attorney. You may have enough to seek a modification, but more facts are needed. I am sorry that you are going through this. Co-parenting with an ex who doesn't want to play nicely can be so difficult.
