Q: My daughter's ex who no longer resides here showed up to visit the kids with a baseball bat in his hand. legal or not ?
He says her new boyfriend verbally threatened him the night before.
A:
It would probably be best if your daughter’s new boyfriend didn’t visit her during the times when the ex is scheduled to pick up or return the kids.
The kids do not need to be exposed to that.
Stephen M Vincent agrees with this answer
A: This is exactly the situation that family courts are established and operating: parents who need a bit of jail and child access controls only the state can give.
A:
Obviously, he didn't bring the bat to play baseball with the child; he brought it to have a potentially violent confrontation with the boyfriend in front of the child. That is really problematic.
If there are orders in place, your daughter might want to consider seeking a modification. it may also be time to explore changing the location of the exchanges to a public place, and her boyfriend should immediately cease all communication with the father of her child.
I recommend your daughter consult with an attorney before taking any action.
