Yes the my son wanted to live with him. However, since the Court Order was issued, his father has not been in compliance. I have recently filed fo contempt but the hearing is not until Dec. 2008! I'm looking to file for an emergency hearing because I haven't seen my son in a month. We have joint-custody, however, his father is not telling anything with regards to my son. The court order says that we are to go to family counseling - he refuses to go. I am going. My son on Friday, called me a cussed me out! My son has never, never, never done this to me. Because of all that is taking place I am looking to have the court order modify. The issue of him being in and out of jail was never brought up during the custody hearing, because my son wanted to stay and he told me that that his father had changed - I thought it would be a good idea, especially since I would still see my son, I had a legal say so in his life and we would be undergoing family counsel. In short I was dupped. I will bring up his criminal record (which I was able to optain a copy) and pray that the order is reversed. I am not seeking to remove his father from his life, but I am seeking that we work together with my son - which is why I had the family couseling placed in the court order. However, his father is NOT in compliance and in order for this to work, he needs to follow the order. Because of all that has taken place over the last month - I hoping to get primary custody with him have supervised visitation at the family couselors office - thus forcing him to come to family couseling.
