Legal Question in Family Law in California

modification of visitation
My son is 16 and his father just served me with OSC for modification of visitation papers. We currently share 50% custody. Is there a way to have my sons wishes be heard. His father also has an attorney. We have been going to court for 13 years off and on witch has resulted in over 50,000 in attorney fees for me. I really can't afford hiring him again. Can you please tell me my options if there are any? Also I was served 6/6 and court is 6/16 . how much notice does he have to give me? Im just worried not enough time as I am trying to do this myself and not sure where to start?

Re: modification of visitation

At 16 if there is a modification motion being heard, his wishes would be of interest to the litigation.

I would suggest early on that an attorney or a therapist for him be appointed so that his wishes could be heard by a neutral party.

As always please consult with a local attorney prior to taking any legal action

Good luck,
