A: At this point you have equal custody with your wife. She is likely going to continue keeping the child from you. The only way to bring this to an end and address it is to take legal action. When you file for divorce you will address the situation and the judge will ensure that you get to see your son. You need to consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action to address this. - Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
