My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Virginia
Parents divorced in 2006. They are living in different counties 60 miles apart. Father relocated the closest he could afford after mother left home with the children. There are two children, boy 14, and girl 13. Visitation is three weekends per month. Split holidays, and two weeks each parent for July, and August during school vacation. There are about 8 days unassigned at the end of June, which father for the last seven years has requested the mother to be split half-half, and the mother has refused every single time.
Mother has acted as an alienating parent sending the children as messengers since they were 4 and 5 years old, to request time to hang out in parties during father visitation. Because of this, the boy now 14, sees his father as a disruption for his social life. Father during his weekend visitation time since the beginning of kindergarten has provided the kids with academic habits such as reading, private music lessons, TaeKwondo, and Spanish immersion at home (stepmother is Hispanic). He taught them, and trained them also to play chess.Mother has always interfered telling the children their father could not force them to do things they did not want to do.
Father has a new daughter who is going to be 2 years old in a month.
The case is that the girl, now 13, wants to live with her dad. In September she will start the last year of middle school. She keeps good grades because of her habits, and the father help at the end of the nights through Skype, and during the weekends. Father paid the children six years of private music lessons, and now they continue through the school. They are about to be TaeKwondo black belts in the father’s town, and the girl is a middle level fluent Spanish speaker.
She wants to live with her father because:
1. She wants to work in the health field (her father is a medical doctor.)
2. She wants to attend with her father the local chess league on weekdays meetings in her father’s town, so the father can coach her progress and ranking.
3. She wants to receive direct help from the father in her academic work.
4. She wants to increase her Spanish speaking level in her father’s Spanish immersion home.
5. She wants to have a strong relationship with her little sister.
6. She wants to play an instrument in the marching band helped by the father who plays the trumpet.
My questions are:
1. How are the chances for the girl to live with her dad?
2. How will the visitation scheduled be adjusted so the boy continued visitation with father and the girl had visitation with the mother?
