Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

How do I force him to get counseling
My ex-husband has been using the kids to get to me and it is getting to effect them more and more. If he gets angry with me he threatens to not take our kids to their sporting activities on their weekend. I have learned to just ignore it and not let it stress me or my kids out, but it has recently gotten worse. Now when he bring the kids home he starts fights with me in my home. When I ask him to leave he refuses. I could call the police, but he would be gone before they got there. I not only want to keep him from coming through my front door I want him to be force to take some sort of parenting classes and/or counsiling. Is this possible without spending a lot of money that I do not have?

Re: How do I force him to get counseling

You cannot force a person to go to counseling.

If the situation has become intolerable, perhaps a modification of the current visitation would be in order.

Perhaps exchanges need to be made in a neutral place - McDonald's is a popular place.

I need to know what court you are in, your children's ages, etc.

If you want a free phone consultation, please give me a call.
