Why would you want too? I don't really see the big whoop here. I can maybe see the alcoholic part if it is sever enough - it's usually not ever sever enough to merit a complete 'ban' from custody or especially visitation. In your case, I'm more inclined to lean toward the alcoholism likely not being sever enough because you also coupled it with the totally baseless reason of him have sex shortly after separation. So what? That's completely irrelevant and sorta indicates that your reasoning for wanting to 'ban' him from his children is more of a resentful, spiteful, 'sour grapes' type reason than actual legitimate concerns for the children reasons. Heck, if he waited until after he was separated to have sex with someone else - he's practically a saint! All that said, on the slim outside chance that the alcoholism or some other non-disclosed reason is sever enough to merit some limitation to his visitation then you will need to consult with a local family law attorney who can more fully examine the particulars of your situation and advise you accordingly. Best of luck!
