    Visitation/child support
    My ex has not seen our 5 year old son in the past 2 years nor has he paid child support, Now all of a sudden he wants to see our son. What are my parental rights? We both have restraining orders on each other so everything has to go through my mom. I don't mind him seeing our son but its been 2 years and he is 5 and I don't want him to show up one time and then not show up again. My son does know who his father is and I just don't want him to get hurt.. my son has adhd so gets angry easily... any suggestions?

    Oh definitely I will... My ex is slick he will get a job pay his due child support and then it seems like he would get himself fired so that way unemplyment would give me less... but its been now 2 years... and yes a couple months ago he was ordered by court to find a job but then again he likes to quit or get fired

    One thing is you need to tell the father that it is emotionally hard on him to have his father come and go at his convenience. My x did that and it was devastating to my 4 kids. Especially my son he had ADHD and I believe he developed other disorders such as ODD, ADD, and OCD because of his father not being there consistently. I know my kids held a lot against me through the years because of their dad. So he needs to be consistent or it is going to be worse than if he never bothered.

    Yea ima try to stress that factor on him that the kid is only 5 and on the long run it could affect him... but he's a type that I don't even think he gives a da he's 35 and I feel its his mother telling him to see his son instead of him doing it on his own... hes been in and out of relationships since we broke up he even has 2 daughters that he has not seen in years even when iwas with him... so as long my little guy does not get hurt its all good cause besides he does have a father figure that adores him and that my son cause daddy.. my man practically has raised him...

    The thing is he has rights too. Unless you can get a court to modify the visitation order, he has a rght to see his son.
