Spouses ex

[Kost]

They share a son together and the son may come visit us for a while but the ex is so-so on the idea of it (spiteful too). We have welcomed him into our home to even visit while the son visits, but he will not budge. Any suggestions other than a court order?

I'm sorry you all have been placed in this situation. It's too bad when people like your spouse's ex can't put the feelings of a child ahead of their own. Unfortunately, I've never known people like that to change. Well, maybe they don't change as people, but it's possible he could be pressured into going along with things.

When exactly is a child old enough that the courts will allow them to visit the other parent if they want to? I always wondered this myself and I am not sure if it varies by the state or by the judge?
