Set up the counseling now and do it during the weeks you have custody. She may not like it but I cannot imagine any judge saying that a child of divorce cannot go to counseling. I did it in the past year and wish I had done it sooner. I was also afraid of the backlash from my X. I finally decided it didn't matter and I didn't care what he thought, and I thought it would be good for the kids. Unfortunately we have been inconsistent bacause there is a lack of counselors who see children in my area, and it is sometimes hard for me to take time off during the day to take them. So we go when we can.
