shared parenting?
Posted by Administrator on September 10, 2007My 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?

yes, its true about that age, but maybe if your son talks to his dad maybe he can convince his dad that he wants to stay with you, but anyways at age 12 he can choose good luck!
If he is nine years old then he is old enough to make his mind about certain things. even which parent he wants to live with. maybe you should arrange a meeting with both parents and his wife and your son. and just lay all the cards out on the table where everyone can hear and see (so that there is no back and fourth going on). she (his wife) needs to understand that she doesn’t have a say in your son’s life or even how your son is raised (not unless the parents agree to it to some degree). maybe you can get your son to say who he wants to live with and why.
