[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP when does he turn up 18 specifically? Before the end of the school year?[/quote]

OP here: he turns 18 about one month before the end of the school year.[/quote]

I’d find someway to drag this out for the next 8 weeks. Then it will be over.[/quote]

OP here: Here’s the thing - I have done everything in my power for the last 5 months to make this work and to comply with the order, including by fighting with and borderline bribing my kid. Despite that, my ex has involved the courts, the police, and other relatives, at great expense/harassment to me, and at emotional duress to my son. I wouldn’t wish the last 5 months on my worst enemy. Even if I legally “prevailed” (because no alienation was found and I wasn’t found in contempt), it has been hell.

I’m not really sure why I came back, except to vent. [/quote]

Anyone who would inflict that on a kid, to color his whole senior year, is a horrible human being. Full stop. [/quote]

A Dad trying to have a relationship with his child is not inflicting anything.  You'd say he was horrible if he choose not to see his son.  This man cannot win no matter what he does.  It twice a month.  Child is a spoiled brat for refusing to see his Dad.[/quote]

If, God Forbid, I was only able to see my child four days per month, I would move heaven and earth to make those days happen. I would live in a crappy apartment, or eat ramen noodles to afford a house in his neighborhood. I would be at every school event and sports game. Because my child is my priority. It would be on me as a parent to make sacrifices (because that is how parenting works) not on my child to sacrifice their senior year.[/quote]

Right.  [b]There is no need to live close by for four days a month[/b] when mom will not even let him have those days anyway.  Mom raised this child to value other things more than dad.  [/quote]

Unless you love and value your child. He could go to his kids games even if he didn’t have one single visit. He just doesn’t.[/quote]
