I'd like to hear from anyone that has information on the best way to approach an issue we have.
My husband and I have been concerned over some issues his son has had/is having. There have been speech issues ongoing for quite some time. We have raised these concerns repeatedly with his mum, however, she takes any concerns as a personal insult to her as a parent.
It has become apparent as he is getting older that his speech still appears delayed and he seems to have some social / communication delays. For example, he barely interacts, makes very little conversation. Always answers with yes/no or I forgot. Seems to have very little interest in anything, other than play station. School reports indicate he is falling well below average.
How do we go about getting help for him? Having some psychological testing done? Possibly counselling, or whatever is needed really when his mum is so dismissive. It is not at all possible to discuss these concerns nor is it "right" for his dad to go ahead and seek professional help without consulting with his mum.
Under Family Law, do we need legal assistance for this?
