[QUOTE="Lil, post: 695527, member: 17309"] None of this was probably unexpected by your son's lawyer. It's actually quite common. I'm actually kind of surprised the lawyer didn't agree because, as you said: This is 100% accurate. If a continuance is granted and he has residential custody pending the final hearing, he has everything to gain. No judge will want a kid to move in the middle of the school year. He'd have time to show how great the kid is doing with him as the residential parent. If the court sets a hearing to decide on the continuance the lawyer will have to go. Long and the short of it is, the court may or may not grant a continuance. This is not in anyone's hands but the judge and all his screaming and freaking out won't change a thing. Last minute continuances are not unusual. I'm SO sorry...and I understand COMPLETELY what this is like. This is pretty much what I go through with my son when he's in one of his moods. He doesn't get abusive to me - but nothing placates him. There's nothing you can say and nothing you can do that will make him calm down. And he's hurting no one but himself with his refusal to talk to a counselor. I'm sure he's being good to his child, managing to maintain while at work, heck, probably being civil to the ex...at least he should be. But he's GOT to find a way to cope! He's not being the kind of father that boy needs if he's so under so much stress he's about to blow all the time. I wish I could help. I think this is an excellent idea. [/QUOTE]
