Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Child Custody Issue
I have joint legal custody of our 2 kids (age 9 & 8).My ex has them every other weekend.
This has been the case for 3 years.He has since remarried & divorced again (very cruel to my kids).
Ex always threatens the kids that he will take them away from me once they are 11 years old. The kids don't like visiting him as is such and we had a really bad fight over visitation this weekend.
I was told there may be another hearing regarding visitation at age 12?
I lok forward to your reply; thank you for your valued advice.

Re: Child Custody Issue
Hello. I am sorry that your children have had to
endure such abuse from your ex. Clearly you need
to go back to court now and ask the judge to enter an order directing dad not to make
remarks to your children like this. It makes
them anxious and in the long run may affect
their own social skills and school performance.
The Court will probably appoint a child represen-
tative to represent the interest of your children. This is a good court tool since it
allows the judge to keep an eye on the kids
close up through a court appointed rep. I hope
my answer has been helpful. Will be happy to
answer any additional questions you may have.
