Q: family law and custody issues and visitation issues. What happens when a court paperwork has been filed in courts?
we have agreed to every other weekend now the father is wanting more days thru the week with our son some new law he has heard or told by someone he wants 3/4 days out of the week and half summer time and he has not given me time to agree or accept anything he has filed court documents on me to have the courts agree with him and my son is 12 and he should be old enough to say something and taken into consideration.
A: It sounds like he is trying to modify the current timesharing arrangement. After he files the papers he needs to convince the judge that it is in the child's best interest to make the change. You will have the opportunity to say why it should not change.
