No great rush. Can a NCP sue a CP and Stepparent for .....

[4honor]

instilling bigotry in a child so bad that the child refuses to visit NCP due to NCP's new spouse being 1/2 Vietnamese (other half Texan)?

NCP is in NJ. CP is in WA and original order is out of OR but jurisdiction is now in WA most current orders from WA. NCP is current on CS. He had cusotdy of one of the sons while CP had other.  Oldest son is 18 and returned to CP's home.

CP and her husband have taught younger son to be a RAGING BIGGOT. He refuses to see or speak to his father because father married a "GOOK". Nephew hates all none whites, but was not raised that way in NCP's home or family. Step father is a card carying KKK'er.

NCP honestly believes this teaching has created a mental problem which is costing him $$ yearly for the counselling for younger DS. It has cost NCP's relationship with the boy (now age 16) as he refuses to get on the plane to go see Dad, and CP won't force him to go either.

1. Can NCP file a lawsuit for  (I don't know) loss of ________ (I was going to say consort, but that is sexually related isn't it?)

2. Is there any legal recourse for NCP?

Loss of "society" is an abolished legal action related to a spouse who is injured such that the complaining spouse no longer can engage in social activities, including mere conversation. Some spouses may regard this as a benefit, rather than a loss (LOL!). Kidding!

You could ask for a new custody hearing on grounds that the CP is affirmatively acting against the child's best interests by teaching discrimination.

And, you could sue in civil court for intentional infliction of emotional distress, if you can prove that the other parent's actions are outrageous and caused you and/or the child,extreme mental distress. In order to make this case, you would need to show that you spent money on your own therapy or the child's, and that the therapy was because of the other parent's actions.

For a suit of this nature, you would need proof, such as, reports from a therapist that the child exhibits racially biased hatred and that hatred stems from the influence of the other parent. If you have this, you have a case. The problem is damages -- with the exception of the cost of therapy, they are extremely speculative, but, you could argue that the child is permanently damaged and that this damage will cause him serious difficulties interacting in the employment world as an adult, and therefore that he should be compensated for the future losses.

I'm extrapolating the possibilities here -- it's really not a great case, except for the possible media attention that you could get. But, you do have a realistic shot at having custody reversed, so you may want to try that route.

If you want to go the civil suit route, you need to speak with a civil attorney in your area.
