I have been a single mother for upwards of 13 years, in that time my ex has paid little to no child support and at most he has seen my son about 5 times a year. He is an alcoholic don’t keep a job and is very verbally abusive towards my son. It has gotten so much worse since I recently got engaged. Last month it really started to hit the fan, I let my son go with his Grandma to their family reunion with the specific instructions that he was not to go anywhere especially with his father, that if his father wanted to take him anywhere he would have to talk to me first and that she was not to let my son go until she heard it was ok from me, well she didn’t listen to my direct instructions and let him go to a place where his father goes to party all the time, during which time the ex gave my son a drink of liquor (really not good) then he tells my 14 year old that I said it was ok to go home with him for a week (never talked to me) so (son) called me to make sure at which time I told him no that he needed to be dropped off to me. Ex tells son he is old enough to make his own decisions that he don’t have to listen to me and g-ma agreed with father…I let son go for 3 days, the next weekend comes and father wants to take son to a picnic at an amusement park..I say he has to be home by 6pm because we had to go up north..father’s girlfriend says no prob..I get a call at 6:02pm that the are still at park not going to make it..that they will bring son up north when done..I call back at 7 no answer on cell..8:30 son calls still at park not ready to leave yet..i say ok I want you up there in about 2 hours Its 1½ hour drive..get another call at 10:10 just leaving park and not coming up north..long story short, big argument ending with son being delivered..around 11:30pm..son gets to me and tells me that father was calling me bad names and that father wants to be physical with my fiance (not good) this last week school started and I called ahead to let them know that son would not be in school, that we would be out of town..no prob..father finds out and when he sees son with friends he (chews his a**) as father puts it for not being in school, instead of calling and talking to me, son calls me in shambles, my mother confronts father because I was gone and father tells my mom that son don’t need meds he takes for ADHD and that he will take son to his doctor, also that son should have been in school that father would have driven him if necessary! father don’t have drivers license, due to drinking and driving. Father gets into fight with girlfriend and tells son to grab clothes and takes him up north after having a couple. father also told girlfriend when mad that he would “knock her teeth down her throat” in front of son…very not happy!!! What do I do, Do I have a legal right to deny visitation? Should I call P.S. on father? not sure where to go with this! I don’t trash father in front of son its not his fault, father is always putting son in bad place between he and I…
