Hey guys. So my I'm having issues with the child's father. He currently keeps the child full-time, except for every other weekend, and we take turns on holidays.
As of lately, I have had to file for court because the father refuses to let me see my child, because of silly little injuries he has gotten. Parents make mistakes, it's not like nothing bad has happened to my child while with the father. If anything were serious, such as an emergency room visit, we would notify him, but other than that, we treat it and let the child's father know when we switch off again.
He wants us to tell him everything that happens to the child, even the smallest injury, like a scrape. Like I said, we are cool with notifying him if something serious happens, but other than that, my boyfriend and I want our privacy and we want freedom when with my child. Every time I do talk to him, a fight breaks out. If my child's life is endangered, we always perform good care on him, my mom is a nurse and she's always the first to take a look/hear about it. A kid is a kid, he's going to get small cuts and scrapes. But he will freak out about any small injury, and take him to the the E.R. even when it's not major. I respect him doing his part, but with that said, I want that freedom and trust when my son is with me, rather than being shadowed or unapproved of every second.
So, anyway, we're going to court to fight over our rights. Nothing has been court ordered, we want joint custody, to keep our rights intact.
Can a judge honestly order me to notify the father of every small happening? It may seem silly, but he's my child, I can take care of him without his approval.
