My son is 11yrs. old. We have been living w/a shared parenting plan for about 9yrs. His father is married and his wife has alot of oppinions about what we the parents are doing or planning to do with our child. My question is “how do we come to an agreement or understanding that she really has no say so in the situation?” At this time and for a long time my son has wanted to live in my home but his father and stepmother (mainly stepmother) are standing in the way. My next question is what do you all think my next step should be? The shared parenting thing has never really worked for us because in our plan extracurricular activites override any visitation with the other parent. So yes of-course he plays a sport every season(basketball,football,softball,.
Just looking for some words of wisdom and encouragement. I was told that when children reach a certain maturity level or the age of 12 they can decide which parent they want to live with, is this true?
