teenage kids hate their dad

My 13 and 14 year old kids can't stand thier father. He and I have been divorced for 12 years. My daughter has gotten to the point she is afraid of her dad, my son, has been physically abused by him, and the courts say my son still has to see him. For fear of "letting down " his father, he reluctatnly goes. His wife works in the small town court house and The kids can't get a fair shot at this. I get very angry and feel like the system has let my kids down. (over and over) His wife is friends with various individuals. I have filed reports, CPS, law enforcement, Still, my children are starting to hate him more and more. Would I be out of line to ask the judge to talk to the kids to hear what they have to say?

  • No, you would NOT be out of line - in fact, insist on it! Your kids also have rights and they have a say in about what happens to them. I live in SA and kids "have a say" from the age of 12 yrs in a court of law. Find out at what age your kids have a say, depending on where you live. Otherwise, they could just refuse to see their father. Mine have done it plenty of times. Once I had the police calling me because my kids refused to go to their father and he then accused me of preventing access to them. My 15 yr old son spoke to the police himself, and they could do nothing about it! Good luck, I hope your kids get to have their say and you really must find out what laws will protect them.

should I allow my kids to talk to the judge to get the air cleared?
