Hello, this is a question thats for anyone... my ex and I have joint custody of my 9 year old daughter. Last Christmas my daighter was having some emotional problems and I decided, with talking to her dad, that she may need to come live with him for a while to help get her back under control. In no means was this ever going to be permanent and he knew that. Now as time has passed, he is getting very controlling of her. Like for instance when I call. He wont let me talk to her, until she is done with her so called chores, and if its past 9:00 and I got home at 9:10 and called her he wont let me talk to her cause its past her bedtime, even though she is not asleep. He is also not letting me see her if I choose to have her fly out one weekend if its not convenient for him. Am I wrong here? Im not her friend calling on the phone, Im her MOTHER!! I would and never have kept her from her Dad, even if it was 10:30 at night on a school night, if she missed him I would always let her call him...no questions asked. I told him he cant dot hat to me, and Im going to take her back to live with me, and he is telling me NO, I cant. Does anyone know what my legal rights are here. I NEED HELP. She is also telling me that her step mom is mean to her. I feel so helpless. She wants to be with me really bad. Can someone please give some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
