1. Don't seek advice on an internet bulletin board.
2. Instead, speak with a good lawyer. He will interview the child's teachers, pediatrician, the psychiatrist who prescribed the meds, etc. and file the appropriate petition with the court.
3. Do it now.
4. Don't pick a fight with the ex. That's the lawyer's job.
I’m not seeking advice here, I’m just sounding off.
I have told my ex that the clock is ticking. If his grades don’t improve by the next grading period, either he starts taking meds or I’ll take her to court for custody of him. He has a brother who is a couple of years older and he is moving in with me at the end of this school year.
I just want people to quit telling me how terrible of a father I am through the safety of the internet, but I realize this ain’t ever going to happen. I have ADHD and hold a high position within the space program and nobody there has the slightest problems with my taking meds every morning.
I know what my son is going through, I have been there.
