teen???????

I agree.... Is this something that his lawyer can ask for and then maybe the judge can order? Because I do not see her agreeing to do this. As I said her parents are pulling the strings on her side. Is this different than mediation? These two need to learn to work together on their own I AGREE!!

In a very gentle bit of ribbing..you're kind of doing the same thing, Mom

But yes - co-parenting classes can be requested. They are different from mediation; the goal in mediation is for the parents to come to a binding agreement about XYZ, and the goal in co-parenting classes is to very simply learn how to be effective parents who work together for the good of their child.

I absolutley DO NOT want to be overbearing to my son in any way. I just want to give him guidance and for that in this situation I need guidance as well because I do not have a clue how to help him deal with this situation. At least he has a great attorney. Guess that is all I can and SHOULD do right??
(having him a great attorney)


Thanks guys!

That's pretty much it, yup!

I want to add one additional point.

If the teenaged dad establishes his paternity, he will have a court order to see his CHILD.

NOT the minor mother.

The parents of the minor may still decide with whom she associates.

You could also show him how to change a diaper and warm the bottle when son gets his parenting time. But make sure that HE gets the joy of cleaning the poopy diapers.

Yes he already knows and applies this when he gets his visitation time in. He changes dirty diapers, burps him, and rocks him to sleep.

The mother has asked that he visitation be in her home until baby turns about 18mos or 2yrs. That sounds a little long to me.. He is prepared to care for the baby at our house and we can help if he needs it.. That is why he has taken all of the classes that he has because he wants to be prepared. He is going to fight it i am sure. Per son's lawyer via her lawyer she will not even talk about the baby leaving her house to visit with dad (my son) in his home. What will the judge likely order.... does he stand a good change at him being able to bring the baby to his house some??

Of course he stands a good chance of having some visitation in his own home.

However, grandma...do remember back to when you had your first child, and imagine how you would have felt about someone taking your newborn out of your house regularly for visitation? Don't just blame it all on the grandparents, get inside the mother's head a little bit too.

 

[stacy kreighton]

Yes I remember , and yes I know it will be hard for her to let the baby go, but it is hard for him not to get to have him as well.. This is the situation they have put themselves into and THEY need to work it out. I just wish her parents would let them work it out. Instead it is between my son and her parents to discuss things about the baby.

Once court orders are established that won't be quite as bad of a problem anymore.

However, this isn't "someone". This is the child's OTHER parent. NOBODY I knew felt funny about their baby, even when newborn, being with their own Daddy, away from their presence.

I doubt however, that you know many young mothers who didn't live with daddy...were not together with daddy. In fact, I doubt that you know many young mother who weren't married to daddy.

Men know how to change poopy diapers??!! I'm going to have to have a talk with my father and my DH. DH will change them if he's alone. Dad will find someone else.

Gawd, I needed the giggle this provided...

(is it too early for beer? I've been up since disgusting o'clock and I'm absolutely cream-crackered. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?)

Never too early for beer. Sadly I wasn't joking. Dad will save poopies for me. If my father is here, he will supervise the 10 year old changing them. My ex will volunteer to watch Pipsqueak and then if he poops, ex will make his wife change the diaper.
