Discover why a judge's ruling is the ultimate authority and why, as a parent, your legal obligation is to follow that order until it is formally changed. We explore the limited weight a child's preference holds in court, the parent's responsibility to enforce the current schedule, and the proper legal steps to take if you believe a modification is necessary for your child's best interests. This episode is essential for any parent navigating the complexities of post-divorce parenting.
