My ex girlfriend and i have joint custody of my 5 yr old son. for the 5 ot 6 months he has been putting up a fight when its time for him to go to his moms. he is always saying that he wants to live with me and just visit his mom. he also says that he wants to go to school where i live.
we live in two sep. towns about 35 to 40 mins apart. i only see him every other weekend because he is in school. although we have joint custody his primary residence is with her. it is tearing me in two every time my ex and i meet because he doesnt want to go. he will start to cry way before we have to leave and he will start getting upset on saturday even though hes at my house until sunday. he says she never plays with him and that he doesnt like living there but i wonder if there is something more going on. i know he is only 5 but he is very smart and im not sure what to do. i keep telling him to ask her if he can live with me and she tells him no and i have also asked if he can come live with me. there has been times where she said she would think about it but then says no. my child says all the time that he is tired of going back and forth and that he just wants to be with me... what do i do?
