Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
consequence for allowing 13 1/2 y/o to refuse a visit to her dad?
My daughter is having trouble with her father and his wife. They constantly make deroggatory remarks about me, ask her personal questions about me, my job, etc.. He lies to her frequently, not telling her that I called, etc.. She has tried to talk to him and explain to him that she is hurt by this, but he only talks over her.During her scheduled time with me on Christmas day, he and his wife called my home some 4 or 5 times in a two hour period, insisting she had to go to church with them at a specific time, she told him she was still opening gifts. This church mass they were planning to attend was during my time. My dtr is so hurt, angry, can't sleep at night, extemely stressed. She doesn't want to see them this week. How much trouble can he cause us, what kind of trouble can he cause?

You could file a motion to suspend visitation until such time as this problem is resolved. With a motion pending you can advise the father that visitation will be suspended until the motion is heard.

You really need to sit down with an attorney to map out a strategy. She is being hurt by him, and she wants it to stop. The courts are not enthusiastic in solving difficult, emotional issues like post-divorce visitation disputes. However, it seems you need to take action to protect your child.
