My BF loves his kids and spends as much time as he can with them. As much as the evil BM will let him. She doesn't follow the CO and he is always taking her to court for contempt.

Last night his son who is 13, was openly rebellious. He told his dad that he wasn't going to do what he was told. BM told him he could do what he wanted and didn't need to do what his dad said if he didn't want to. Someday this witch will reap what she is sowing with these kids, but she is too stupid to figure that out.
We live in Fl and they do not have joint custody. So BF has them Friday-Monday 3 weeks a month and every Wednesday night. That is once again when BM decides that will work for her.

The kid is not a bad kid, but he has figured out he cannot be killed. You know what I mean when the light bulb goes on and the teenager figures out that they really don't have to do what you say.

Well here is the dilemma. How do you punish a child that you don't have all the time. My BF believes in logical consequence discipline. But how will this work. Does any one have any advice for us or sites my BF can go to for Dads who want to be responsible with their children but don't have custody. He knows he must do something and not let his son think it is okay to be disobedient, but he is at a loss on what to do.

This is the first time his son has rebelled...welcome to the teenage years with a son that has a BM that is a piece of trash and doesn't care that her choices are hurting her children.
