Question for Parents

What would you do or how would you react if you were separated from your spouse and he/she (I guess he, since we're all women here...) wouldn't let you see your child without him being around?

Re: Question for Parents

  • Court. Of course, I am not a crappy parent....
  • I'm not a parent but I would react by consulting an attorney and going to court.
  • And by court do you mean going into court immediately for an emergency order or something else?

    Sorry if this seems like a weird question. I can't elaborate, but I'm trying to figure out if my gut reaction to something is right-on.

  • By something else you mean filing for divorce? ?I think the most important and pressing thing would be an emergency order to see the kid. ?Everything else can be worked out after that (at least IMO).
  • Well I don't know anything about the case but as an attorney, my gut reaction would be something is not right here.  I can't imagine ANY parent not allowing another parent to see their child without them being around UNLESS there was a fear of safety for that child.  It's either that or one of the parents is ticked off at the other that they're playing the game with the child.  That's pretty damn sad.

    As a parent, I'd be finding me an attorney STAT to help me with this. 

  • in a situation like that, I would assume one of two things:

    fear that the parent will abuse the child

    or

    fer that the parent will flee with the child

    The Girl is 5. The Boy is 2. The Dog is 1.

    I am the 99%.
  • Or the parent who's withholding visits could be a manipulator.  It really depends on the people in the situation.

  • Is the person being denied access just going along with it?  that would be weird.  I would fight it immediately and with everything I had.
