Dear Attorneys,
My ex-wife is interfering with my son’s ongoing therapy. She is not a part of the sessions, but she does often transport him. Based on a recent phone call from the therapist, she is causing a scene in the office and demanding to go in. What do I do? My son really seems to like the therapist, and I’m concerned that if my ex-wife continues to exhibit behavior like that, my son will no longer be allowed to be a patient there.
Sincerely,
Therapeutic Thom
Dear Thom,
That sounds like a difficult situation. I’m glad that your son found a therapist that he likes, so I certainly understand why you want to protect that relationship. However, as you know, you cannot actually control your ex’s behavior. Therefore, even if you have the appropriate Court Orders in place, she can still choose to act in this manner (though obviously there would be repercussions). You may want to ask the therapist what her course of action is going to be if this happens again. You may also want to explain to the therapist how important and beneficial the therapy is for your son. Depending on how your underlying Agreement (or Court Order) is worded, you may also have a basis to file a post-judgment motion. Most post-judgment motions are either modifications or contempt matters, so you may want to discuss the possibility of those with your attorney.
