Re: custody

sounds like classic Parental Alienation Syndrome, and you need to be careful. Your ex will attempt to show you as being a bad influence, and it being in the best interest of the child to not see you. Be careful. Obviously hire a family lawyer if possible. It is easier and cheaper to fight the fight now rather than try to change an order later.

You may want to bring this problem to the attention of the judge. Judges do not like it when a parent pulls this type of thing. Do not take your ex's threats seriously. Please call for an appointment for further consultation. My office is in Berwyn.
