I live in Colorado and the soon to be ex lives in California - where we were married for 22 years. My son is in Colorado w/ me. We've been here for 8 months. My soon to be ex has filed for divorce (sort of) and we've gone through the preliminary child custody/visitation process - however, she's failed to proceed with the divorce. My son is 15 and was not given any say in the visitation process (the court handling this, by the way is in California), and the mediator gave her visitation all summer and major holidays. My concern is that she is waiting to get him to California before proceeding with the divorce, and once he's there filing for a change of custody... is this a valid concern?

If you have gone thru the prelim custody work,, and a custody order is in place,, with outlined visitation,, it's doubtful she can petition for a change of custody based on her visitation time. Otherwise,, every ncp would surely jump on that idea ;)

One of the first things you'll hear around here is "Document, document, document!". Having good records is *crucial*. Get yourself either the Parenting Time Tracker (PTT) at: http://www.deltabravo.net/custody/tracker.htm or the OPTIMAL Custody Tracking service at: http://www.parentingtime.net. The PTT is good, but the OPTIMAL service is definitely better.
