I Messed Up By Not Setting Up Formal Parenting Arrangements With My Child’s Father. What Can I Do If Anything?
Location: Kansas US
My son is 7 and has been increasingly having issues. It has been recommended to me by his doctor by word of mouth that his parenting time get changed to have a primary parent. I am the mother and was hoping his father would get his act together but has proven to not. It has gotten to the point where I try to talk to his father about changing things, and even the school got involved.
He changed for a little while; but once my child showed slight improvement, he went back to not being a parent. He’s drunk every time I pick my son up and my son always smells like weed and cigarettes. My son is super disregulated and doesn’t sleep well at dads but claims he likes being there. He also has unrestricted access to the internet at dads and it has caused him to be mad whenever the doesn’t have it. Like at my house or school.
I’ve looked up what to do and see documentation but I haven’t really been writing this stuff down and his dad never texts. This has gotten to the point where he needs things to change. Will what the school and doctor say be enough to change time? I can’t necessarily prove the issues aren’t from my house. At what point do I call someone other than a lawyer? Would that be too much? I’ve tried a therapist but got ghosted. It was hard for her to have to schedule with both parents so she stopped and she was upset I didn’t have the same days off a week. I also have any more info if needed!
