Thank you E1 for your feedback. Please know that I'm not against visitation, nor am I trying to be a butthole about this... my goal is to work out together what is in our child's best interest, not to force more money out of Dad, or prevent him from seeing his child. I do think it is important for our child to spend time with Dad. Absolutely. I am appreciative and proud of the sacrifices Dad has made for the country, and it is unfortunate that instead of being allowed to return stateside, he is now stationed in Germany.
Our child is special needs, but no, not the kind that would entitle Dad to hardship orders. But they are of the kind that require a team of occupational, physical, behavioral, and speech therapists, along with psychologists and early childhood specialists who work with him regularly to help him learn to interact with others, express himself verbally, and redirect negative (aggressive) behaviors. When he doesn't understand his environment, he can be destructive to others and himself. His main coping mechanism is structure and routine. This is a very common aspect of autism.
We have a mediation scheduled a couple days from now. I'm hopeful that with the help of a neutral 3rd party, we can work out the most ideal situation for Joey, given the complicated nature of the physical distance between Mom and Dad.
