I have been divorced since 1997 and my son is now 14. Recently my ex has told me I can no longer see my son after having him regularly for alternate weekends. I have always paid maintenance and take my son to Rugby, paid for his season ticket, and racing here and abroad !

No she cannot. Simple as that. When it is your weekend go pick him up. Your son is old enough now that if he comes outside and gets in your car there is absolutely nothing she can do about it.

Until the child is a "legal" adult you have the same visitation granted by the courts. If your ex decides to stop allowing you to see your son, you can petition the court for a hearing. She must have a court order to make the change.
Keep in mind that once a child is a certain age (15 - 18 usually) they can choose not to see the parent for visitation.

It's up to your Son ... not your ex!
Your Son has a right to a father. Why has your ex changed her mind all of a sudden ? has either of you just entered into a new relationship? if so maybe she is feeling it will effect your Sons emotional state.
Something must have happened as your partner was happy for you to have him on alternate weekends before, did your Son overhear or see something he should not have, then told his Mum?
You must try to talk to your ex, the least she can do is tell you why.
Good luck xx

Well, actually it depends. Is there a court ordered visitation schedule? If so, then no. If not, then she can do whatever she bloody well likes, whether it is fair or not. If you don't have a court ordered visitation, you need to take her to court asap. If you do, you need to report that she is in violation of that order and the court will take it from there.
One other point of contention: in some places once a child reaches a certain age, he/she can decide for themselves about visiting/living arrangements. Could it be that your son has chosen not to visit?

purely like all of us else stated, enable IT pass!!! I somewhat have a daughter with my ex, yet he continues to be her father as i'm her mom. It takes 2 to tango, sorry. he's not basically the sperm donor. Be fortunate he's desiring him throughout the summer time. you're fortunate you at the instant are not a form of girls people who's toddler's daddies disappeared and that they are caught elevating their toddler on their own. a minimum of you have somebody prepared to take him. Suck it up. It sounds such as you're mad that your ex is chuffed and getting married and you do no longer choose on your son of their wedding ceremony. Why? in case you have been the single getting married and your ex grew to become into asserting "i do no longer choose for MY son of their wedding ceremony" you would be notably annoyed. besides, you need to have spoke back to the digital mail at contemporary upon getting it because of the fact interestingly such as you probably did no longer care one way or yet another. Now which you found out he's getting married, you're mad approximately it. i understand that is tough to suck up, yet you had intercourse with this guy, you had a option to decline or be on valid delivery administration, that's the effect of your selection. advance up, and settle for that your son has a sparkling step mom. Meet her, party together with her, be an grownup. you will possibly need that out of your ex once you get into yet another relationship, I advise you supply him the comparable courtesy!

it is unclear what state you are in...but as a resident of North Dakota when i was younger the legal age was 16 when it came to custody. At that age I could decide which parent i personally wanted to live with and if i didn't wanna visit one anymore i could decide that also...they still had to pay child support though...but it all still has to go through courts...even at my own choice or when my mom was unclear on weither or not my dad was able to care for us even for the weekend she had to take it to court...and she always had reasons...its hard being a child of a split home...my parents split when i was five and its like you have a double life......he may have decided on his own because it is a struggle....i would contact your lawyer and it may not even need to go to court but you need piece of mind....good luck!!!

maybe u should see a solicitor and see what they suggest most of them try to sort it out without going to court
