What is the name of your state?Nebraska
I was divorced 3 years ago and I have 2 children a son who is almost 10 and a daughter who is 5. Their father and I have joint custody. The visitation is: during the school year I have the kids and he has them every weekend. During the summer he has them and I have them every other weekend. The father lives in another county. (25 miles away) My son is begging me to let he and his sister stay with me. He wants to play baseball and attend swimming lessons and boy scouts with all his classmates in the summer. And he claims he rarely gets to see his dad. He has to stay with his step-mom all the time. (which he does'nt get a long with) He is upset because his dad makes him join a league and etc. in his county. Therefore, he does'nt get to see his friends much! Now, my son is involved in weekend sports, football, and gets tired of being hauled back and forth. My son is very very mature for his age. My daughter, was borth with some physical deformities. She is well accepted by her classmates, and she also, goes all summer without her friends. I think maintaining her friends is important. Do I have to wait until they are a certain age before I try to get the custody changed? Also, would a judge permit one child different arrangements than the other? I really want to keep both of them together.
