Q: Can my daughter's mother choose who can and can't be around our daughter? Shared custody in Florida.
I do not approve of my daughter having a relationship with these two individuals but my daughter's mother disagrees and allows them to see her behind my back. Can she do that legally. We have shared custody and there's nothing in the paperwork about this. I have proof that they are not good for my daughter's mental health and I have messaged from these people to my daughter telling her things that are no appropriate to our religion or her age. Also my daughter expressed serious depression issues to these people and instead of notifying us (she's only 10) they praised her for feeling alone and and provoked her to continue feeling the way she was feeling. All in writing/text messages
A: Unless you can prove some sort of actual or imminent danger to your daughter from these people there is not much that you can do. The law presumes that each parent will do what is in the best interest of their child when they are with them.

A: If you feel so strongly and have proof that it is detrimental to your daughter...file a motion with the court...
