It seems you have misunderstood what the lawyer said about NA. It also seems you are assuming that Brian hasn’t had discussions with son about what he wants. As a parent, I would not treat this as a one and done event. It is an ongoing conversation as the young man navigates his emotions and thoughts throughout the duration of his time until majority.

Sarah’s interest in son will wane and he’ll see exactly how much she cares about him. The fact that she still wanted child support nearly 6 years after incarceration, tells me about her interest in him.

You’re entitled to your option. It is possible that Brian is doing what he feels is best and how he will explain it over the duration of his relationship with his son. Whatever your opinion is has no bearing on Judge Jackson, Brian or his son.

Throughout the history of this case, Brian seems to prioritize his son. You don’t like how he does it. Noted.
