Seeing your ex has moved on and is in a relationship with someone new can be painful.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if you have joint custody but don\u2019t want your kids around your ex\u2019s new partner? Before thinking about whether or not you can keep your ex from seeing your child while they\u2019re with their new partner during visitation, there are some things you should know.<\/p>\n<h2>Controlling Visitation<\/h2>\n<p>In cases of joint custody, you and your ex agree to co-parent and abide by a schedule approved by the court. According to the law, you can\u2019t control when or if your child goes to visit their other parent.<\/p>\n<p>When your child is visiting your ex, your ex has a say in who their company is going to be during the visit. If you feel your child\u2019s best interests aren\u2019t being met while your ex\u2019s new partner is around, you should <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\">consult an attorney<\/a> who has experience in child custody cases.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting the Court Involved<\/h2>\n<p>A judge\u2019s number one priority in <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/child-custody-visitation\/\">child custody cases<\/a> is to determine if your child\u2019s best interests are being met by both parties. An attorney can assist you with your case in court and explain to a judge why you don\u2019t think your child is being cared for correctly when your ex is with their significant other.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to violate your custody agreement by avoiding the visitation schedule. There are few reasons a judge would agree to keep your ex\u2019s new partner from being around your kids during visitation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your child is in danger.<\/li>\n<li>Your child\u2019s health is being impacted.<\/li>\n<li>The fitness of both parents to care for the child.<\/li>\n<li>Rules and schedule of your current agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Modify Your Custody Agreement<\/h2>\n<p>When you and your ex can\u2019t agree on the current visitation order because their new partner is involved, you can speak with an <a href=\"\/your-legal-team\/\">attorney<\/a> about making modifications. To make modifications, you would need to prove a substantial change in conditions of your child\u2019s best interest when your ex has custody.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact a Rockville Family Law Attorney<\/h2>\n<p>Our firm, Fait &#038; DiLima Family Law, has more than 50 years of combined experience in child custody cases and other family law matters.
