Q: Can I refuse to let my ex husband see the kids on his court ordered visitation days?
I have emergency temporary custody of my kids right now but I feel my ex husband needs to apologize to me before he can see or have contact with the kids. Although the judge court ordered for him to have contact with the kids anytime and up to 12 hours of visitation a week. Can I get in trouble if I do not allow him to talk or see the kids at all?
A: You must follow the judge's orders. You can be sanctioned if you do not. If you believe that the current court orders are not in your childrens' best interest, you can ask the court to modify them. But speak with a family law lawyer to learn your rights and best options before you take any action.
