Without a court order granting her parenting time with your son, you have no legal obligation to allow her to have time with your son. In order for her to seek visitation/parenting time with your son, she would have to file a Complaint for Modification with the appropriate county Family and Probate. Unless there is an issue where the child's safety is at issue, or another issue where you feel that it would be harmful for your son to spend time with your ex-wife, her complaint for modification would probably be allowed.

If you do need to consult with an attorney now or in the future contact me at 617-523-3200 for a free consultation.
