Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Ex-husband

I have been divorced for a year now. My ex is now engaged to my cousin, they are getting married in 6 months. I do not want our 21 month old son to be put into any emotional trauma and I explained this to my ex who obviously doesn't care. Is there anything legally that I can do to keep my son out of this situation? My ex only sees him 1 day a week by his choice (he has 20 days off a month and our divorce papers state that he can see him on his days off). My ex does not even have an emotional bond with his dad. I do not want to one day have to explain to my son that his step-mother is his cousin and his brother/sister is his cousin, its a mess. I would prefer it if my ex would not be in his life at all.

Re: Ex-husband

First of all, in order to terminate visitation you need to get a court order. Secondly, It sounds like your ex has a great job in that he only works 10 days a month. You can not change the fact that he is the child's father and you will one day have to explain the situation to him. If you can show that the fathers environment is harmful physically or mentally to your child, then you can question visitation. Just that fact that you question his choice of his next wife may not be enough unless there are other issues at hand.
