[quote=Anonymous]Op here, just saw this thread pop back up!

Teen is a boy. It was mom that moved across the city, not dad and it was mom that teen didn't want to spend time with. He wanted to be at our house. He is very close to his dad and his younger sibling and his pets.

When teen turned 16 mom gave up trying to get him to stick the schedule and told him to do whatever he wants. So for the last few months he has mostly stayed with us but now actually chooses to go and visit her. Since he has control and can leave when he wants, he doesn't mind visiting now and their relationship has improved without the battling over custody. They text more often and she will call to meet him for dinner during the week on her way home from work and he will bus over for a few hours on the weekend etc. He spends less time with her but their time together is much more enjoyable and thankfully he seems keen to rebuild that relationship on his terms.

We haven't changed anything legally or in the paperwork but it seems to be working itself out for now. [/quote]
