[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you have tried to solve this but can't.  And that's OK.  You can't force your kid at this age and exDH isn't budging, either.  So its on the two of them to resolve it -- take yourself out of the middle.

Tell them they have to solve it and then refuse to get involved in something you can't fix (because neither will compromise OR give in).  If exDH threatens court, let him, and then let the court handle it.  Tell your son if it comes to this, he will have to go to court with you.  If you can't afford a lawyer, go to court with your son and without a lawyer.

We don't have the magic answer for you except that you take yourself out of the middle and let the two of them handle the consequences.[/quote]

The ex gets 4 days a month.  He already is getting very little visitation (4 days a month is not parenting) so there is nothing to compromise onn.  Dad isn't going to file over this nor is mom.  Both need to be parents and Mom needs to have consequences for the behavior and not listening to her.  Its not a negotiation.  [/quote]
