My ex and I share joint legal and physical custody. For the past 3 years our 12 year old son has been having discipline and academic problems. I have tried to address them with his father, but my attempts have been thwarted and dismissed as "common boy behavior". The last incident involved my son physically attacking me. I immediately sought counseling (son)for this. My son has only attended 3 sessions and my ex and I have joined in 2 of our own with his therapist. My ex has again showed no regard to the issues, but puts blame on me for his behavior. I was recently contacted by CPS that my ex was involved in an complaint with his step-daughter. And my son has told me that his father laid behind his step-moms vehicle to keep her from leaving during an argument. Teh therapist is aware of this as I have told her. My ex is threatening to not allow our son to continue in therapy as he doesn't approve of teh topics of discussion etc...He claims the accusations which warranted a CPS investigation were bogus, but I am still very concerned. He does have a temper. Are these claims enough for me to go and actually have a chance at changing custody? My son is again failing 3 classes. I need any advice you can offer. I do not unfortunately have access to a lot of funds. What should be my first step.
Thank you.
Thank you.
