Divorce final in May of 07. Joint custody with father having physical custody. Since this order Mother has seen son total of 5x. Lasting anywhere from 30minutes to a few hours. She has not seen him now since July 07 and has not spoken to him since October 07. Son is 13 yrs old and doesn't want to see or speak with her. I have encouraged him to at least call her but, he refuses and I don't know how to make him. I have dialed the phone and gave it to him but, he will not talk. (This stems from her lying to him on numerous occasions and her boyfriend does scare him) Now she has moved and will not tell me where she is although I do have a good idea but, it hasn't been confirmed. Do I have to wait 2 yrs before I can get custody changed? Also, she was ordered 10.00 a week in child support but, has not paid anything yet. What can be done? And does anyone have any good ideas on how to get a relationship established between mother and son. I sometimes don't think she even cares, since she hasn't called in over 2 months to inquire about him.
