Q: How hard is getting sole custody in KY? Dad lives in TN. Son is severely autistic.
Son is 10. Paperwork states son goes to dads every other weekend. However dad stopped following this in 2020. He has been getting son one weekend every few months. Son went to dads last month for a weekend n has sense been hitting and screaming things. It has been documented at speech therapy and school when this started happening. Dad wants son again but I’m afraid behaviors will get worse and he will end up getting kicked out of school due to the violence he’s causing when returning. It takes weeks to get him to stop.
A: You should file a motion to modify his parenting time with the court. Otherwise, the court will expect the current order to be followed.
