Legal Question in Family Law in California

I share 50/50 custody with my ex-wife. Sometimes she goes out and she has a babysitter watch her three year old daughter and our eight year old son. I never met the babysitter and don't really trust anyone to watch over my son. Do I have a right to decline that. I live in the state of California. Thanks!

The other parent has right to utilize a babysitter when they have the child in their custodial care. If you have concerns about the babysitter, you should ask your ex to meet that individual.

Unless you have something in your order, or you have evidence that the children are being left in an unsafe situation, you have no power over your ex's household child care decisions.
