Re: Does My Son Have Any Rights as a Father
Your son has no legal rights as far as his ex-wife's new husband
is concerned. His ex wife is entitled to marry any one she wants regardless
of your sons opinion on the matter. However, if your
son suspects that his children are being abused in any way
he should immediately report it to the local authorities.
Your son is entitled to see his children according to the original agreement. Since they are moving
out-of-state make sure that the transportation arrangments are set out
ahead of time in writing so that there are no misunderstandings in the
future.
