Have 72%Custody of 2 children, 1 child intolerable wants to leave
I, am single divorced mom that works and maintains a good household I have 72% full custody of 2 children toddler girl and teenage son.My son is being coached and manipulated by other parent into causing me physical and mental cruelty bothering younger sister to the point that his behavior is disrupting and making life miserable and at panic levels all the time. My son finds ways to harm himself, verbally attack me, will do whatever it takes to go with the other parent, even if it means the other parent calling the police, which the other parent has already done by trying to have me arrested by false accusation etc..The goal is to send me to jail ...in order to have me lose custody, along with all that goes with the custody loss...the money is not a problem for me as it is less then $500 a month for 2 kids, but I am afraid of being arrested falsely and losing everything by a cruel situation caused by other parent coaching my son.
To diffuse siuation I am considering my son to have 3 straight months under a temporary condition with the other parent, but will this harm my case with my custody.should I negotiate terms in private with other parent and his attorney,because I do not have attorney, should I petition the court/Judge?

Re: Have 72%Custody of 2 children, 1 child intolerable wants to leave
You and your son need to get into therapy together. I would suggest that you find someone to see you weekly with the goal to be to work out when and how to effect a change to his father's custody. You will have your son in your home for visits so you need to improve your relationship with him. Since you acknowledge that money is not the issue here put the child support to good use while you're still getting it. You can't really believe that this problem is only happening because of your ex coaching the boy. Your son is probably just too scared to tell you what he wants. If he does move to Father's stipulate to temporary custody for some period of time to give the child a chance to see if he is happier there. The court will applaud you for working this out together.
