Wondering if any of you have asked the court to order counseling? Good idea or not?
My own feeling is that you can drag them to water but can't make them drink. . .
But if there's a chance it might at least help WAH and I communicate on issues revolving around our child, it might be worth the try.
Any thoughts?

I start counseling tomorrow by myself. I was wondering if it were possible for the courts to order my STBX to go to counseling. I've begged her to go with me but she refuses. /iwould hope she woulkd at least do it for our child.

It may not help at all. However, if they are ordered to go, will it make anything worse than it is now.

It's in our divorce decree that we seek communicatons counseling for the sake of the kids.
I've asked in writing numerous times and X refuses to attend on "his time with the kids". I've offered to alternate and he won't hear of it.
so I've stopped asking.
I also have counseling for the kids in there.
He refuses to take them on "his time" so I am expected to give up 2 nights per month for DD's counseling, and more to meet with him. It won't happen. But now he can't balk that I'm taking DD to counseling - which she really needs.
