  hi.i have a 13 year old daughter that i still have for a limited time as she comes to stay about one night a month at present.the law here in australia is on my side in that the australian governments stand is that the child needs regular access to both parents .

  i am currently arranging for mediation to have her more often .

  her mother can not stand that i am living with another woman and doesn't want her here .

I am currently arranging for mediation to have her more often . Her mother can not stand that I am living with another woman and doesn't want her here . In the future I will face an ugly reality. When she reaches the age of 18 she is then no longer a minor and therefore I no longer have the government on my side.As I see it the disfellowshipping law Will then kick in and she will be bound by JW law to shun me altogether. Before that happens I need to explore all avenues to preserve my relationship with her.Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  Do witness children have to be obediant to their disfellowshipped parent if the parents are separated.

  hi.i am disfellowshipped and separated from my jehovahs witness wife and i am having custody problems with my 13 year old daughter.she has been advised by her mother that she does not have to listen to me and so she dictates to me when she comes to stay.it seems i have lost any fatherly authority and my ex wife has given my daughter the ability to go against my wishes in regards to custody arrangements.having grown up a witness i understand that even though a parent is disfellowshipped the child must still obey the biblical command to be obedient to there parents.it also teaches that the wife must support her ex husband in regards to parenting.i am trying to find any watchtower/awake articles that support this.in any case i would appreciate any links ,information or advice.. regards pat..

  Anders Andersen Thanks for the comments.My daughter is bombarded with religion.She also has a bible study with an older lady that has been going on since the separation in 2012.She lives an hour 10 minutes away sharing a granny flat with her mother and her sister and then another sister and her husband and two of my grand children live in the main house.She is very cosy there and when she comes here she misses being in that enviroment.She also has trouble sleeping in her own room as her mother often talks about demon attacks ect.i often have her sleep in the lounge with my partners daughter so that she can acually relax and get to sleep.In the past she had a great School friend who was not a JW and we were able to have her sleep over which was great and not something her mum would allow.She loves me i know but i feel that given the choice she rather be around the rest of the family and her JW freinds than spend to much time here.Her mother has enabled her and given her a choice in the matter.She also sought legal advice on stopping access.I had not seen her in 5 months when she rang to ask me for a new iphone as she had broken the last one i bought.I bought her phone and told her she could have it when she came to stay.She did.we had a nice week end she took her phone and now she again refuses to come.Its very frustrating.We are planning to take the girls on a cruise and she is very excited about that.She always comes when we organise a holiday.

  Thank you millie210 .We separated in 2012 and I have been in a relationship with a lady for the past three years.She has a 13 year old daughter of her own and for the most part it has worked well. We make an effort to do nice things with them,skating,movies shopping ect.We even had her "worldly'' friend sleep over,something that could never happen with her mother .Trouble is she lives over an hour away and her mother doesn't like her living with me.She is activily trying to keep her from me.She has even consulted lawyers ect.I arranged to have a mediation with relationships Australia and that seemed to work well for a time but now she chooses to ignore that council.I have considered reinstment only so as to give my children the freedom to accociate with me.see my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRRL-Gfg7ww

  Thanks for you response. Witnesess are taught to respect the laws of the land and to be obedient to the relevant authorities police,work bosses ect so it follows that a child is still to be respectful and obedient to there disfellowshipped father.
