Q: my son is visiting his mother in another state during the summer.
I have primary custody and he visits her 8 weeks in summer some time at christmas and spring break. he did not want to go this year but had to. she now is threatening to seek full custody and is requesting by email for me to mail her written consent to take him to a counselor in her state.
do i have to consent and what happens if i do not? i am sure my son is scared and out of his mind with questions and does not feel free to talk about it with me on the phone. she has refused to give me her address since she moved over a year and a half but now sends it to me in an email asking for written consent to take him to a counselor. what is the best course of action here?
A: Your best course of action is to schedule an appointment with a lawyer for a consultation as to the appropriate action. Do take your court order to the consultation, so the lawyer can review it's provisions
