Q: I live in mass and don’t want my ex’s current girlfriend around our two kids. Will a judge grant that order?
A: Hello, if there is a visitation order contained in a Separation Agreement and Divorce Judgment or a Paternity or Custody and Support matter you can seek a Modification Complaint based upon her presence during visitation with information as to how she is having an adverse effect on the children - the background of this individual was not stated so it is difficult to make much of a comment-also the ages of the children are important to know. If the Court finds that she is not an acceptable person or that your children are suffering from her presence, then a Motion for Temporary Modification Orders could be allowed. You will need to prepare an Affidavit as to your knowledge of the adverse circumstances , as well as the Motion. I urge you to consider engaging family law counsel.
