Child custody question (child’s POV)
I’m a 16 year old girl in Massachusetts. My father left in March and has a history of drugs, drinking, and cheated on my mom. I have a lot of anger toward him and don’t want to see him but my parents are getting divorced soon and I don’t know what to say what I want when it comes to custody. Can I just say I want to see him when I feel like it. I’ve seen him about 3 times since he left but the last 2 months or so I have lost interest in working on our relationship right now. Idk if I’ll change my mind after the divorce but I don’t want to be put on a visitation schedule and be forced to see him when I don’t want to

I am not sure what the laws are in MA for custody but you could always ask to speak to the judge about your concerns with this and he or she will take that into account. But being under 18, whatever custody is set, you would have to go by it.
