			<description><![CDATA[I should also add this puts a strain on my visitations with my son as I feel I have to punish him and correct him since they refuse to. As you can imagine, such as this past weekend, it absolutely kills what already little quality time we have of establishing a good relationship. Sick and tired of b...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At that time, my lawyer and another said there was no reason courts wouldn't grant her custodial rights. She had already put a restraining order on me to keep me from seeing him though I never hit a chance to challenge that in court. They were drawing it out as long as possible as they had family to...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You have your son every weekend?  Is that correct?  I'm wondering if you could work something out with the <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Education" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Education')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about School">school</a> whereby the teacher would allow you to work with your son while he's in your care and have him turn in assignments on Mondays until you can change things in court.  Maybe you could have ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would talk to the teacher and see if you can work out a special arrangement to do homework on the weekend when you have him.  Let her know your situation - teachers understand and like having parents who help their kids.  If she won't do it, then it's your job...and I think the teacher will apprec...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with the others.  Definately contact the <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Education" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Education')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about School">school</a> and let them know you would like to help your son.  Also, can you call him in the evenings and walk through his homework with him?  If he is on the computer, does if have a camera?  Maybe better than the phone, you could Skype chat.  There are ...]]></description>
