Q: Can fiancé's ex-wife prevent my mom from babysitting in FL based on cursing?
My fiancé's ex-wife is threatening that my mother should not be around my son because she cursed at the ex, even though my mother never curses around my son or directs anything harmful towards him. There are no legal orders or custody agreements relevant to this issue. My mother babysits my son every other weekend. Could the ex-wife legally prevent my mother from being around my son based on this behavior?
A: Probably not. There is definitely no law that says that. There would have to be a motion filed with the court and proof brought forward at a hearing to show that your mother babysitting is not in the best interests of the child. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
