Re: child visitation
Hello. The legal question is what
is in the best interest of your child.
In my opinion, you should go back to
court and ask the judge to have dad
begin visiting your son here in Illinois first. After a while your son could then be introduced into
the idea of seeing dad here in Illinois and during extended holidays.
I understand that the idea of your
son visiting dad in Alabama may not
agree with you. That is why I am suggesting that visits begin here with dad coming to Illinois. The judge may appoint a lawyer for your son (a child representative) if the
judge believes that he needs another set of eyes to view the situation. I
will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
