Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

parental Alienation Syndrome

My son's mother advised the GAL that she wanted me to modify the present visitation order to include a newer schedule since she was going back to Florida to be with her terminally ill father. She informed the GAL that she did not know when she would return and wanted to see if I would agree to the modifying the visitation order. Being that she had been manipulative the whole time, I informed the GAL that there is a standing order that she has not complied to thus far, and now she wants me to agree to something that she, the GAL knows that would not nor could not be enforce should she be allowed to do so.

I was not in agreement with the new arrangement and the GAL wrote the presiding judge that I could not focus on the issue due to my being angry, which was totally not true.

She allowed the mother to relocate and the well documented order that is presently standing has been violated on her part in term of visitation as has been the whole time. In the process, I have tried to contact my son's school on several occasions to get a progress report and has been repeatedly denied access to information and other requested communications of such requests. My concern is that my son is 17 yrs old and in the 9th grade. He will be 18

Re: parental Alienation Syndrome

I am not sure that I undestand the issue. You do not indicate who has primary custody or what schedule is being requested. A parent can reloacte as they wish. It only becomes an issue if they are the parent with oprimary custody and intend to relocate with the child. The relocatoin withthe child can be denied if the relocation will substantially interfere with the non-custdial parent's time.
