What is the name of your state? California
I have a situation that really isn't an issue where I would take my son away from his father, I just need to know what my rights are as a mother and what his rights are as a minor. My son is 12 and has had visitation with his father since he was born. There has never been an issue with the sleeping arrangements and I really didn't argue it when he lived in a 1bd and his gf lived w/them. My son would sleep on the couch and I really didn't put up a huge fight. He was only there every other w/e and my son was young enought to really not care. Well, that was close to 3+ years ago. He has since gotten a new gf, whom I really like. She has a 9 year old daughter that she has custody of. Here is my current problem. My son's father just bought a 2bdr condo and recently got engaged to his gf. In one bedroom is him and his fiance. In the other bdrm, they have it set up where my 12 year old son shares a room with her 9 year old daughter. He is there every other w/e and half of the summer and half of holiday breaks. I don't approve of my son sharing a room with a 9 yr old girl. They will both be going through very different stages in their lives and will need their own space. I don't want to take my son away from his father, but what can be done. His father just bought the condo so he can't turn around and resell it yet. I can't talk to about it because it always turns into an argument. Is there anything that CAN be done? Can I go back to the mediator?
Any real legal advice vs. opinion would be great.
Thanks
