Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: child custody

I would immediately put the child into counseling.

I have found that it is usually best that the entire family attend counseling since it is usually not use one person's problems but a family problem.

The professional you hire will determine how often, who should participte, group meetings, individual meetings, etc. Only a professional health care provider is able to determine what needs to be done.

He definately needs some assistance from a professional to discuss why he gets so upset before each visit.

If the professional feels that the father should participate in counseling, the professional could ask him to do so.

If the professional feels that the visits are harmful to the child and is willing to testify in court, then you have a great reason to modify the visitation arrangement.

Re: child custody

I think the order says "visit"; and there is no language in the order that says he doesn't have to go even if he is sick. If you want to try to modify the order because of the situation you describe, be prepared to prove everything you're saying. You will probably have to have a doctor and a psychologist to testify about your son's condition. Good Luck.
