Q: Joint custody issues with father's girlfriend overstepping in Kentucky
I have joint custody of my child with the father, but our son is with me 75% of the time. The child's father allows his girlfriend to make decisions for our child while he is at their house, including not brushing my child's teeth and packing a lunch that my child does not eat. She also claims it's none of my business what happens at their home. Additionally, the father allows him to stay on video games and stay up late, which concerns me. When I try to discuss these issues with the father, he states I have no say over what happens at his house. I'm also worried about an upcoming schedule change this summer. What can I do in this situation to ensure my child's well-being?
A: File a motion to exclude the gf and her interference entirely. You can also raise the other issues you have with dad in the motion. The court will address your issues and resolve them with both parties.
