My child custody arrangement says that the father is supposed to return my son tomorrow my son is 12 years old. The father is willing to return the 14 to 15 year old girls. But they have all decided that the son should live with his father. however, the father is refusing to return him saying that he wants my son to live with him. How do I get him back?
JA: Who currently has legal custody?
Customer: We have joint physical and legal custody. However, the child visitation arrangement is that I have primary physical custody of the children and that he has visitation. after the first month of school in my town my 12-year-old son JJ’s was acting out and so I had a verbal agreement with his father to see if he could stay there for a little bit to see if it would improve his behavior. However, while staying with his father, he was arrested and sent to juvenile hall. His father called the police and had him arrested. He’s gotten in legal trouble twice with his father, but has never gotten in legal trouble with me. My son would like to live with me. But the father says no if he’s 12 years old, and he needs a father and he’s to live with his dad for high school and middle school. However, we just went to court a couple of years ago a long drawn out three month trial and the results of that were that the children live with me. No he dad for high school and middle school. However, we just went to court a couple of years ago a long drawn out three month trial and the results of that where that the children live with me. Now he says he’s filing something to change that. But I don’t know what that means. I am unemployed and cannot afford an attorney. He makes over $150,000 a year so it’s not an even fight when it comes to attorneys.
JA: Has there been any mediation on this issue?
Customer: No, just an email saying he’s not returning him to me
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: Just that I cannot afford an attorney, because I am unemployed and I make very little money when I am employed. I cannot afford an attorney or ia retainer. However, my ex-husband makes a lot of money like I said over $150,000 a year and he can get the best attorney in town. It just doesn’t seem fair so I’m looking to see if anybody is willing to take my case pro bono.
