[quote=Anonymous]A question about my cousin and any advice from others who have been there and one that.

My cousin has a 6 yr old son from a very brief relationship, they have always had 50/50 custody. Cousin and his ex coparented well for the first 3 years. Cousin then met his now wife and ex didn't like that he was remarrying. Relationship became less friendly and more strained but okay. A year ago the ex's boyfriend moved in with her. Since then child has started having significant behavioural and emotional problems. Child is also banned (by ex) from telling cousin anything that happens while at ex's (including what he got as a birthday present or what he did on the weekend). Child does not want to go to ex's house and gets violent with cousin when exchange is about to happen. Cousin feels something either happened or is happening at ex's house that is harming him. Cousin has involved professionals but child is sworn to silence and refuses to speak to them. Ex uncooperative with attempts to get assessments and get help for the child. Child is now also self harming. Cousin wants to try and get full custody at least temporarily to figure out what happened / is happening / get child to place where he can talk openly.

His evidence though is really only the child's behavior. All are unsure where to go for here. [/quote]
