Q: We all live in manhattan and the father will not consent to
allowing him to work. In our custody agreement we split the summer 50 percent.
My ex feels it will intrude on his time with his son while my ex works full time
and leaves him alone in his apt while he works for the summer. My son really
wants this 6 week job and we emailed my ex and he won't consent. It is a camp
counselor job. What can I do? My son wants this for work experience and his
transcript. Can I take this to court? What would a judge say? Are there any laws
in ny governing this?
A: David's Answer: There are
no specific laws one way or the other on the issue, as custody/visitation law in
New York is largely governed by case law interpretation (not by statute). That
said, if the father's not consenting, I advise to file a petition right away
with the Court as the issue may take a few months to work itself out in the
Court & thus you'd want a determination before he would need to begin the
job. I'd also highly advise to schedule a follow-up consultation with a NYC
