Can I deny my ex-spouse visitation?

If there is a legally binding child visitation order in place, you cannot violate it. You would need to secure a modification to a child visitation order to deny them visitation. Valid reasons for doing so include:

  • If they have developed a drug or alcohol problem
  • If they are involved in illegal activities
  • If they or their new partner is abusive
  • If their home is unsafe

If you believe your child is in immediate danger, you should contact an attorney to secure an emergency order of protection.
