Dont know what to do... very upset and nervous.. 

My ex is asking to take my son out of the country to brazil.. Well here is the problem that i have.. my son is 14 has asthma and going to brazil now is not a good idea because of the swine flu.. doctors dont recommend that kids with asthma should be on a plane for that many hours. i am very worried about him should i let him take him out of this country or not.. my ex took my 3 kids a few years ago and did not even want to buy an asthma machine for him.. he did not care.. now he is threatning me to go to court again if i dont let him go....i am lost and dont know what to do.. help please give me advise...

UPDATE ON TRIP TO BRAZIL..

Well i called the doctor and the doctors office said that my son is at high risk to leave the country and to sit on a plane for 14 hours.. so when i was driving home i called my ex and told him what the doctors office said and he just said what ever.. i told hime that he was at high risk and i cant let him go on a plane.. then he said what now he cant go on a plane for the rest of his life. i replied no thats not what i said.. then he said the same thing. oh crap you get the point.. spoke with my atty. today and i have to mail the papers to him so he has a copy to cover my butt... thanks for asking..

I would NOT let him take him if it were me. Besides, that's a very long far away and you have no control what will be going on while he's there.  Sorry, but that's just my opinion.

my advice is the same as everyone elses - let him take you to court. You already know it is coming and that will give you ample time to set up your defense (affidavit from doctor, any information you can find on travel warnings/restrictions and proof from last time that he refused to take proper & reasonable medical precaution)

Cher, my response to the ex would be 'HELL NO!'. I would fight down to my last breath on this one. But, 'cya' make sure you have all the necessary documents (medical, legal, etc.) should that creep really take you to court about this.

Stick with your gut cherbear.  A mother's first instincts are rarely wrong, if ever.  Get with the doctor asap.  You can never have too much information.

I agree with everybody else here. Have heart Cherbear.  You know what's best for your son. Stick with that.

Don't let him go.  Fight him on it.  Get a copy of his medical records and a note from his doctor.  I highly doubt that the judge will let your husband take him out of the country whether he has asthma or not.  Just the thought of your ex taking your son to Brazil, scares me after that story about the guy from NJ whose wife took their son to (I believe it's Brazil) then never returned back to the states.  His wife later divorced him and remarried someone there in Brazil.  She died last year in childbirth and the guy here in NJ has been fighting for years to get his son back to the U.S.   His ex-wife's new husband in Brazil is fighting to keep the boy in Brazil.  It's a mess.  That scares the devil out of me with the thought that your husband wants to take him to Brazil.  Hang tough.  If the court system where you are is anything like here where I am it will be October before it comes up in court.  Melaine

I concur with Soccerhewitt.  Get a doctor's opinion, in writing.

Good luck with this.  I wish I had more advice to give you but never had to deal with that sort of situation.

Sounds like a bully to me, my only advice:  Don't take his junk anymore.

Call his bluff. Say no and let HIM take you to court. Get the medical evidence to back your concerns up. Corroborate what happened last time - when he failed to take the med machine. Then, delay the proceedings - if you can so that trip becomes moot.

I would get your son's doctor to put into writing the recommendation to avoid long airplane flights & visits into countries that may pose a greater risk to his health. 

Would you possibly have medical documation from the last trip that they took together where the father did not provide proper medical treatment / prevention care resulting in   increased doctor visits when the kids returned?

Let him take you to court Cher.  Say no if staying here is best for your son.  The kids have to come first.

I know that court has cost, but you know what's best for your son. Never let that be taken away from you. Let him fight you cuase your son needs to have you there in his best interest and his dad doesn't seem to be.

I know that this is hard on you and I am not suggesting that you go down a harder road, just you know best for your son.
