Q: How can I change an agreement made on record? It has no been finalized yet. We go back for finalizing June 7th.
My soon to be ex husband and I made an agreement that once he does anger management he can do visitation with the kids ever other weekend spoken through the court. However, I want a provision added in that states our oldest can choose when/where/how he wants to communicate with his father. The reason I want the provision added in is because every time he has communicated with his father, he acts out to where the cops have been involved the past 2 times and he just turned 9 on May 26th. He stole a bike as well as broke someone's garage window (not ours). He has stated on numerous occasions that he does not want to see or talk to his father but I have been forcing him, afraid of repercussions but every time he does something like this the next day. I have asked my attorney if there is anything that can be done to add that in with no luck unless ex agrees which he doesn't. He wants me to continue to force him which is only harming our son. Needing a second opinion. Son is in counseling.
A: Only your attorney knows all of the facts of your case and only he is in a position to advise you properly. However, it sounds like your oldest son and your ex could use some reunification therapy. This would involve a separate Motion , but you are in a bad situation. Perhaps, you could talk to your son's present therapist and ask for a referral to someone with special expertise when it comes to reunification of parent and child.
