Son Is Refusing To Visit His Mom (texas)

I was granted custody of my son a few months ago (he’s 13), as his mother moved a four time domestic violence felon, who is currently on parole into her home. My son is working through some serious trauma via counseling, twice a week. When I told him that he had to go visit her for his summer vacation, he had a complete meltdown and said “I’m not getting on the airplane”. I’ve contacted the police and was told that they can’t make him get on the plane, but my lawyer told me that it was a terrible idea.

The court order I have in play says that this guy cannot be around my son in any capacity, but my ex-wife is stubborn enough to not follow it. My son is terrified of going back, which leads me to believe that this guy put his hands on him. I love my son. He is the most important person in my life, but I don’t want to jeopardize having custody of him over refusing to go visit his mom. I think I’ve slept five hours in the last week. He’s scheduled to leave on Thursday. I just feel it in my soul that if goes, something bad is going to happen to him.

Thoughts or options?
