Q: My girlfriends Ex is telling their daughter he does not want her or her sisters to be around me.
He is telling her that they are not little girls anymore and now they have “boobs”. He is also trying to prevent me from moving in with the mother and has said that he will do everything in his power to keep me from living in the same house. The daughter, the father speaks to, has also said to her grandmother, that she is concerned that her father may attack her mother and possibly could go as far as rape. The daughter didn’t say what would prompt her to think this. The father has a history of alcohol and marijuana use. I’m looking for what options can be done from a legal stance. There is currently no custody order in place with the court system and is currently being assumed as 50/50 custody.
A: This does not really seem to involve criminal law, but these situations can be messy. Your girlfriend may need a family lawyer to get custody agreement or order in place. It's not really up to the ex who the children spend time with when your girlfriend has custody of them.
