Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Lee-Presumed father
My son is a teenager. I admit there were times I forced him to go by forcing him and I resent that I did that because he has not forgotten. There are certain Native American things I can not be part of. It is not my culture nor am I a member of that tribe or be made to be one. The mother does indeed encourage the child to go but he towers over her and soon me. He is a very tall and large boy. When I have alone talks with him, he has told me when he is of age he never wants to see me again. I feel by forcing him to go i am ruining any hopes of a bond. I used the word forced visitations because of something I have done to him for years is coming back upon me and I so regret it. I know it is a matter of time before he uses force on me to leave him alone. What age does that two foot rule come into play?

The "two-foot rule" is my nickname for a practical consideration. It is impossible to give specific advice in family law on an open website, and potentially contrary to your interests. I would be glad to consult privately in my office.
