Q: I m a single mom,son's father, has extensive background/domestic+. Affected severely by stroke,filed for modification
The original court agreement required his son to supervise first third and fifth weekend of the month when my son turned three. His son agreed, however that has yet to happen and my son is now 6. They have maybe seen him 15 12 to 15 times in a period of 3 years now. So my son cries on the few times that he goes to see them, because he does not have a consistent relationship with them. I've asked them several times to be consistent at least two weekends out of the month it doesn't matter which ones. However, the only request I have due to is father's past anger issues and criminal / domestic violence records towards myself. And the fact that he has had stroke and was found unresponsive and still causes son by his other son's name very hard to understand, it has me in fear for my son's safety he was an alcoholic prior to the strokes. I have seen him recently drink beer since then and give money to a family member to get him liquor. It's a matter of safety and the well being of my child.
A: You can't control his behavior but you can ask your Family Law attorney if anything can be done to modify the custody arrangement.
