Update Your Profile
While you are unlikely to lose technical legal or physical custody, when kids hit that age, they can effectively kill any real parenting time you have if they really want to. From this point on, the child will probably be the driving force as a practical matter. Just do what you can to retain a good relationship. Good Luck.
