Re: child custody

There are several things you can do One is to modify the current order for change in circumstances. The other is to file a contempt petitionif your ex is violating the current Order without a valid reason. Your son is 12 and the court may pay some attention to his thoughts at this age. You should make an appoinment to discuss your options with an attorney. If you would like to schedule an appointment with my office you can contact me.
