[quote=Anonymous]Please Do not listen to the people on here who are suggesting you should somehow punish your son if he refuses to go to his fathers house. Growing up with this oppressive custody agreement imposed upon him for the last 16 years is punishment enough.

OP, you should rent a car twice a month (or use Ubers) and then let your son use your vehicle. Make this a financial priority. It’s not that big of an expense. I’m sure you can cut some thing out to make this happen. Tell your son the gasoline is on him so if he drives back-and-forth from his fathers house during this weekend to see friends or go to parties or whatever that’s on him.

You definitely should look into emancipation for him. If his father is already committed to not paying for college then who cares? Maybe it will help him with scholarships in qualifying for need-based grants.

Has your ex never been a teenage boy? Or did he have an awful teenage experience where he had no social life or friends? How is it possible he can’t relate to his own son who has a busy, full teenage life that doesn’t include his parents. This is the time of life when children naturally start pulling away from their parents because that’s what you do in life in order to launch and establish a life beyond your parents. It’s pretty maddening and sad. This so-called father who for some reason wants to be a stickler doesn’t realize that he’s doing any long-term relationship.
