What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My daughter is separated from her husband and has filed for divorce. He is a veteran suffering from PTSD & a TBI(traumatic brain injury), who is also an alcoholic. He is unstable and denies needing help.
He was mentally abusing my daughter, constantly accusing her of cheating. He even piled furniture in front of the doors so she "couldn't sneak out" while he was sleeping.
When she first left him, he was stalking her. Luckily she was staying with her father and me.
That stopped and we were allowing him to come to our house to see the boys (my daughter has an older son from another man) but something happened and he was asked to leave our house.
My husband texted him, after trying to call him, and told him that he needs to call so they could work something out(meet at a park) so he could see the boys. He never answered by text or phone call.
7/21 was their sons birthday and after over a month of no communication he texts and says he wants to see his son for his birthday.
The boys have just stopped asking about him and their behavior is returning to normal.
We already had plans and told him we were busy all weekend so it would have to be Monday, him asking last minute and all. We are reluctant to allow him to see them due to the whole situation.
What I want to know is, can my daughter deny him visitation until they go to court for the divorce?
What are her legal rights? What are his?
Thank you!
