My exhusband recently had our son for an extended time. We have court orders stating my 9 year old should have his cell phone at all times. My exhusband disregards this order. During my son's visit with his father, he states his father and his girlfriend drank heavily and started argueing. The argueing continued throughout the day, by that night my son says he witnessed his father pulling a gun on his girlfriend, held it to her and then pulled the trigger after my son began to yell to stop it. My son states the gun was not loaded but it scared him horribly. I have seen my attorney and court proceeding have been filed about many issues other than this. My son does have a guardian ad litem and will speak to him before court as well as speak to the judge. My question is, how do you think the court will view this behavior? My son has continually gone through events like this and is ready to never return to his fathers. Will the court listen to his wishes? And if my ex denies what my son is saying what weight will what my son tells the guardian and the judge have on the situation? When will my son finally or if ever have the right to say he doesn't want to continue to go to his fathers because of the events that continually happen with alcohol, abuse both physically and mentally?
