Q: He gets angry and holds my child as a pawn towards me and doesn’t let me see him when it’s my week to have him
I have him after not seeing him for 3 weeks because his dad wouldn’t allow me to get him and now I’ve only had him for 2 days and he is demanding that I bring him back home . When I said no he said he has primary custody of him and if I didn’t bring him back that he would have me put in jail. Is this true? I only want to keep my son as I put in a court order so I can have it in writing so this won’t continue to happen .I want my son to see his father but I want to see my son to what should I do
A: You should have a parenting plan which defines your time and his time. He cannot block you from having your time. If he does then you need to go to court and tell the judge. There is no "primary custody." The child is shared and you are entitled to your time per the court ordered parenting plan.
