[QUOTE="donna723, post: 292163, member: 1883"] How old is Onyxx? My son was 15 when I got divorced ... his father was only supposed to get to see him one day every other week, usually on a Saturday. But my divorce decree stated that visitation was [I]FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILD[/I]. I think that's pretty well standard language for visitation when the child is a teenager. It meant that HE has a right to see his father, not that HIS FATHER has that much of a right to see him! My son could choose to see or not to see his father - his choice - and it could not be held against ME. It's not like he was a small child and I was physically keeping him from visiting his father ... it was HIS choice, and most of the time he chose not to see his dad. The ex tried to holler and scream and accuse me of things but then his lawyer apparently had him read the divorce decree and he finally shut up. I don't think anyone usually FORCES a teenager into visitation that they do not want. This language is in a lot of divorce decrees ... you might want to check your husband's divorce papers to see how it reads. [/QUOTE]
