I have a family court ordered parenting consent orders in place stating that the child is to live with the father and that once a month, I drive 8 hrs to pick my son up and have him for 48 hrs before returning him and driving back another 8 hrs.
On the last visit, I withheld the child as I had been informed that he was recently involved with docs and I had fears for his safety. We went to court as the father applied for a recovery order. The judge was not happy I withheld him, ordered I return him and the ICL has yet to subpoena those docs reports and it's due back at family court sometime in the near future.
None of this is working out in my favour and I'm sick of the stress and travel involved. I was wondering if I could somehow withdraw from all future court proceedings, allow the child to live with the father yet change the order under Family Law so its visits are school holidays for one week as I also have 5 other children and cannot contiue this path.
Please help?
