Q: I have sole physical custody of my child and my child's father is demand that I have to let him know about my relationsh
A:
As the parent with sole physical custody in California, you generally are not required to inform your child's other parent about your personal relationships unless such disclosure is stipulated in the custody agreement or court order.
The other parent's rights to information about the child typically pertain to the child's health, education, and welfare, rather than to your private life. If the father's demands are causing concern or conflict, you may want to review your custody arrangement and consult with an attorney to clarify your rights and obligations.
It is important to maintain boundaries that protect your privacy while also adhering to any legal requirements regarding co-parenting and custody. If this issue escalates or if there are specific allegations that your personal relationships are impacting your child's well-being, legal advice should be sought to address these claims appropriately.
