Q: Could I cut off contact if my ex husband is bringing mental damage to my kids and I?
We do have a court order/ divorce decree for him to contact the kids. But my ex hasn’t been contacting the kids or picking them up for visitation. So when he does contact the kids it brings the kids into a spiral breakdown where crying is happening and they asking where their dad and why their dad isn’t available.
A:
No, and to do so means you would be violating a court order. There are potentially serious consequences that you want to avoid. It is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case. We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.

A: No, you can not unilaterally cut off contact. You will need to file a modification action is dad's actions are causing harm to the children.

A: I agree with my colleagues, you cannot and would likely be in contempt. If you feel there is an issue that needs to be addressed you should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with the options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
