Q: what do I need to file to keep ex husbands alcoholic girlfriend away from our children?
We have joint custody, he gets every other weekend visitation. During his visitation our kids have to witness his girlfriend verbally abuse him. She makes vile remarks about his man parts, yells and screams, becomes out of control on alcohol in front of the kids. Police have been called out numerous times because of her behavior. (Ex husband calls them) Ex husband only agrees to keep the kids away from her when they are not on good terms. His girlfriend and him share a lease together. Is there something I can file to prevent our children from witnessing this behavior during his visitation weekends?
A: Hello. You can try and file a PFA on behalf of your kids against the g/f. Or, file for a modification of custody and see if that gets the attention of dad regarding who he chooses to have around his children. Best of luck!
