Saying this as gently as I possibly can, BUT a minor child of age 11 May not be acknowledged by the court to manage his relationship with his alcoholic father , we as adults cannot manage our relationships with alcoholic family members, so to say his relationship with the father is responsibility., Is a pretty far stretch,
My intent is not to disagree or argue with you, but the courts have heard all of this before, and unfortunately, many of us have found the courts are truly not always our children’s advocate . Unless you have some strong documented proof , with convictions on record, I can only suggest you excercise caution, I have found they are not always what we hope them to be.
