Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
My ex -husband, divorce this summer, has our kids for Thanksgiving this year. His parents, sister and brother in-law live on the same property,48 acres, in NC. His brother in-law was a convicted rapist. When we were married I never allowed the kids around the brother in law by themself or have them stay the night, etc,,, My ex has always agreed with me on this and now he has changed his mind.
I just found out that my ex-husband has plans to go over to his sister/brother in-law's house for the Thanksgiving holiday and stay a couple of night. Is there anything that I can do legally?
I am obviously concerned about my 4 kids safety.
Thank you!

This should have been included in the divorce decree.
Nevertheless, the court might consider it a substantial change in circumstances because your ex changed his mind since the divorce and intends to put the children in "harms way."
File an emergency petition to modify visitation. The judge may order the ex to prohibit all contact or limit the contact.
Unless you had a completely incompetent lawyer (or made the disasterous mistake of not using a lawyer), this should have been addressed in your divorce decree.
See a lawyer immediately to see if you can obtain emergency relief.
