Austin, TX asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: I don’t want my son seeing his dads mom due to past abuse, can that be court ordered?

When my son was 2 his dads mom abused him, contact was cut - no cops called & dad agreed. 5 years later noncustodial parent (dad) is brought him back around her. I have a custody order in place, I am primary. His ex wife filed for divorce for full custody due to his inability to care for their daughter and sexual assault on her (the wife). The mother has never had a relationship with their daughter and refuses to have one, only my son.

A: It can be court ordered if the Judge agrees that it is not in the best interest of the child to have contact with the grand mother.

You will be asked to present evidence regarding the abuse if a hearing is held.
