Q: if I have 50% custody and so does my child's father is it legal for him to stop her from coming over to my house?
My child's father has 50% custody and has been refusing to let her come over during my scheduled time because he doesn't want my partner around her he says she already has a man in her life and that it's him so he's refusing to let her come over.
A:
It is not legal for your child's father to stop her from coming over to your house during your scheduled custody time. You both have the right to equal parenting time with your child, and he cannot interfere with that right simply because he does not like your partner.
If your child's father is refusing to let her come over to your house, you should first try to talk to him and explain that he is violating your custody agreement. If he is unwilling to cooperate, you may need to file a motion in court to enforce your custody rights.
