Right now my ex and I are going back to court.I am trying to modify our current joint custody to sole custody.I have a whole list of reasons why.My husband's company has went though some massive changes that are reducing his hours alot I am looking for work and have a couple of interviews lined up.I don't have any family that lives near me so if I have to work and my current husband has to be the one to drop my son off to my ex ,can my ex say anything about that?
Update:Thank you at least I am looking its not what I really want to do but it is work.One of the reasons I am taking him back to court is because he hasn't had a job since 2007
Update 3:We live in the same town so if he doesn't want to meet with him than he can come to my house and get him.My son is almost 11 years old so he can walk out to the car on his own just fine

Your ex cannot say anything about your current husband meeting him. The only thing he can say is if his child is not properly taken care of etc.
You can request to modify the current custody agreement. That is a completely separate issue from your husband dropping your son off to his father. Again, there is nothing wrong with that unless your current order doesn't allow for your husband to come into contact with your child's father. In which case you will need to work out some kind of arrangement to be able to drop him off and avoid the drama.
As to him not working or pay child support ( I assume) I would mention to the judge that it is creating a burden on you to waste gas taking your son to meet his dad when he isn't contributing to his care at all. Ask for modified visitation until he can begin paying support again to offset the expense of the visitations.
Legally I don't think there's a problem unless your ex wants to cause trouble. Then you can always have police there to keep the peace. You have to see exactly what the custody agreement says right now. Good Luck to you all, I survived a 12 year custody battle years ago. It wasn't good for me, my kids and not good for the ex either. It was a disaster for everyone!!
Custody is between The Mom and Dad.. You have to prove you can take care of your child. Thats it!
No.Your husband is apart of your household. He shouldn't be allowed to say anything about it.
