My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Louisiana
Hello Everyone,
I am the parent of a 5 year old boy. His father and I were married - he passed away three years ago. Since his passing, his mother has been very difficult over visitation with my son. There was a short period of time right after my husband's passing where I did not allow her visits with my son (she was being horrible to me - a very long story, but I did not believe it was best to let her be around my 18 month old at that time and I was grieving and having a hard time myself and could not handle her behavior). Since then, she has had regular visits with my son. I usually bring him to see her one day every other weekend for 3-4 hours at a time. Last Christmas, she and one of her sons cornered me when I was picking up my son from a visit and made me promise I would bring him to see her on Christmas Day this year because I was not able to that year. I agreed so I could get out of the situation. This year, she has brought that up and I told her that I would not be able to bring my son to see her on Christmas Day this year. She became volatile with me. I tried to calmly explain to her the reasons why - I travel to see my family who lives hours away and the travel time does not mesh with the time she wants him there. I offered to bring him on Christmas Eve or over the weekend for a visit. She demanded to see him that day, saying it was the only time she his uncles can see him. I reminded her that my son is at her house every other weekend and that they live 10 minutes from her so this was not the only day. I have also told her that they could get in touch with me anytime to work out a one on one visit with my son if they would like.
Also, I work 40-50 hours per week and want to have time with my son on weekends. I have to bring him to see 4 grandparents separately because both sets are divorced, so it is a lot on top of any other plans my son and I would have. Anyway, she began sending me texts yesterday threatening to bring me to court to have a judge set a visitation schedule. She also was ugly about my recent remarriage. She also sent ugly texts about my marriage. Anytime I have to reschedule a visit she threatens to sue - basically anytime she does not get her way she threatens this. She was an only child and extremely spoiled, so she always gets nasty when she does not get her way. I do not think she has a leg to stand on because I am not refusing her time with my son, I just want to hear what others that have gone through this have to say about their experiences and I'm worried about the cost of having to go to court. I appreciate anyone taking the time to read through this and give me feedback.
