Dude, you are incredibly annoying. Do you have a job? Or do you just monitor DCUM all day, every day, and post in every. single. thread. that has anything to do with divorce and custody? Your stilted, fatuous writing style is a dead giveaway.

You need serious therapy.

DP but we only have her account and we don't really know what is happening. She isn't clear on who is moving or why child support is not in play or what the Dad's issues are. Dad wants to be in the kids life and Mom claims the kid is so attached to her that the kid cannot go to Dad for a long period of time. She could be spot on or she could be telling a story that she thinks benefits herself in order to get advice that allows her to feel better about not agreeing to visitation that gives Dad more opportunities.

We don't know who is moving. If it is Mom, could Dad be really upset and feeling off because his son is being forced to move away from him?

We don't know the issues that the Dad is having. Mom says that Dad can barely care for himself but if Mom initiated the Divorce, Dad could be really off because he is unhappy/depressed/sad about the divorce. He might be struggling to set himself up solo because he had not planned for that in his own mind. The change in circumstances might be the cause of his current being off.

We don't know if the kid has a good relationship with his Dad, only that he is "attached to Mom" but that is not exactly unusual for 6.

The picture painted by the Mom is that she is trying to be reasonable on visitation without actually providing details that are important.

I am not saying that Mom is in the wrong but that I am not willing to buy her very vague story and give her the benefit of the doubt.

If Mom is moving across country and taking the kid, Dad should be getting a lawyer, especially if Dad doesn't want his kid to be that far away. If Dad is moving, then it is a different scenario.[/quote]
