Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Stop Visitation?

Since 2002 I have had sole cusodial/residential custody. Her father sees her twice a year, calls maybe 5 times as he lives 900 miles away. recently, at my daughters request, i allowed him to go to disney w/ us. he did nothing but bad mouth me, fight w/ me, call me names- it was ALL about him and ruined the vacation. he also scared me at one point as i thought he may get violent. my poor child has never seen me mad like that and i think because of all this was emotionally hurt. i think i want to stop all visitation w/ him, he is claiming he wants to get custody from me as I am a bad parent (i FULLY support my child, I own a house, paid for the trip MYSELF, I get no child support, my kid is a happy little girl normally) Should i go back to court? He just called and when I said she couldnt visit this summer (I dont have the days to take) he called me nasty name-on the phone- to her. We had originally split due to domestic violence. i only invited him thinking he must have changed and my daughter asked since she never sees him and the trip was for her birthday. Our vacation was ruined and all she does now is whine and cry about everything and anything. Help? Should I go back to court and get supervised visits/stop calls?

Re: Stop Visitation?

You should do what you believe to be in the best interest of your child. If you believe that the father is likely to engage in conduct which will be

injurious to your child you should go back to court

to limit his contact with her.

Call me if you like.

Re: Stop Visitation?

I think you have answered your own question. It seems pretty clear that you want him out of your daughter's life, so that he does not further hurt her. And that means going back to Court to cut off visitation.

Please call my office if you would like my assistance. I would be happy to speak to you on the telephone, but it will take more than just a brief telephone call to assist you with these issues.
