What is the name of your state?Texas
My husband and I have had Custody of our 7 year old son since August 2004. My husbands ex-wife went to court and had a court order done saying that she gets liberal visitation without our knowlegde. There have been some change in circumstances since then. She has moved from Kentucky to South Dakota and we are not sure of her living or financial situation. When we got him he was sullen, non responsive, and very underwieght and the child care workers told us those were classic signs of neglect. It took us a long time to get him to come out and talk to us about it. He told us that his mother would leave him home alone and that sometimes she didnt feed him.
She calls here all hours of the night and demands that we let her speak to her son and when we wont wake him up she calls us names and curses us out. Everytime she talks to him she tells him that he is gonna come and live with her. Totally confusing the child.
We tried to compromise with her on visitation in the summer, but she will not compromise. Our son has ADHD and since he has been with us, insted of putting him on some mind-numbing drugs, like he was on when we got him, because she said she couldnt handle him, We switched his medication to something that is not addictive and it helps him concentrate at school and we got him a therapist that he sees once a month. After each session she prescribes a months worth of medication. His mother insists on taking him to SD for the entire summer, reguardless of his mental health. We are worried that she will not be able to handle him again with out the medication he was on. He is VERY hyper, but we deal with that rather than drug him.
We are scared that she will not bring him back because she keeps telling him that he is going to live with her.
If my husband denies her visitation this summer, can she hold him in contempt?
