Teen criminal

What is the name of your state? Texas

I divorced over two years ago, and in the divorce, my ex-husband and I were given joint custody of our 12 year-old son, but I was given primary status. A few months later, my son decided he wanted to live with his dad. This son has been in all kinds of legal and school trouble since he was a child.

My son is now 15 and has lived with his father the whole time. (He doesn't want to see me because he is disciplined when he is at my house). He has commited numerous crimes (two felonies just in the past month) and I am concerned about responsibility.

I need to know the best way to handle this. We would like to have the divorce papers changed to where his father is primary, but it will cost more money than we can pay right now. I am willing to sign away parental rights if necessary.

What is the best way to handle this?

Your ex will need to file for custody. If he files, and you agree, it won't cost nearly as much as if there's an argument. But you cannot force your ex to take legal custody.

If you want costody and are a loving parent like me. I would fight for my son. Obviously his father isn't doing any good and that will stand up in any court. If you don't want to have the head ache over him and I wouldn't blame you then talk to the father and see if he wants full responsibility. If your worried about who he wants to be with, I wouldn't, the court will see the father is unfit. Here in Texas the parents are to blame and are responsible in the court.
