Hello,
I am trying to initiate an interim access schedule with my 11 y/o. My spouse insists she is "supportive", but that my child does not want to see nor speak to me. She claims this is a function of my "past behavior" (ie: false abuse allegations). Unfortunately, my child has been convinced of these as well.
There has been numerous instances of clearly inappropriate, alienating behaviors on my spouse's part since my departure from the home last Nov., including sharing details of financials and other legal issues.
I am asking the court for therapeutic access with a therapist to re-initiate contact. Left to the child's decision, it would not happen; I am hoping the court will place the onus on the parent to enforce attendance if so ordered.
Am I being reasonable in thinking the court would support this, or are they likely to just agree with the idea of "if the kid doesn't want to, don't push them"?
