Do you have legal advice? Representative to help you go over your options? Unless there’s physical abuse, it’s my understanding it’s hard to deny another parent their “rights” to the child.

However, is there any way you can show it would be detrimental? Have you sought counseling help or therapeutic advice on what your son goes through when he comes home? Even if all he needs is your singing and holding him, you need more in court.

I don’t know what the situation is, but it usually takes some kind of documentation to show how one type of arrangement may not be as good as another, especially if the other parent appears all he’s asking for is what’s fair.

Are there any other logistical reasons it might not be a good idea to switch him back and forth?

Whatever you do, be careful about how you present yourself. Stay centered and be mindful of how you appear to the judge. He or she doesn’t know you or your ex. They can only judge by what they see in front of them, and unfortunately their own preconceived notions.

And get counsel. Even if you can’t afford one to represent you, find out what your legal rights are and what kind of laws exist to protect the child. Unfortunately, I don’t believe there are many, but whatever laws do exist, you owe it to yourself to know what they are.

Good luck!

My ex and I are about to go to a case conference and he is fighting for my son to live one week at his house and one at mine… that would be the most detrimental thing for my son. Any advice would be great!!!!
