My response:

There's nothing you can do, legally. Besides, you have no rights when it comes to the child. Simply, you're not the child's parent.

You're kidding right? You want to bar a child from seeing her mother simply because her grades are down?
You take away video games or phone privaledges for something like this.....not keeping the kid from her parent! Maybe her grades dropped the same time she started seeing mom was a coincidence? If there is something else going on, sit the girl down and talk to her. She may have unresolved emotional issues attached to seeing her mother, or something totally unrelated going on in her personal life that's affecting her school performance.
Talk to her!

Then make sure that she's getting her work done, studying as she should, etc. If she's conflicted about rebuilding her relationship with Mom, take her to a counselor. But reinforce that failing grades are not acceptable.

How old is she?

What? Is there a CO? If so, you guys may find yourselfs in contempt if you are not following it. And NO, you don't use the kid's mother for that!!!!!!

So the message you are sending this child is that her mother is responsible instead of being responsible for herself? That's a bit silly. What are you trying to teach this child? How do you know she isn't just assuming that she can slack off on her school work now that she spends more time with her mom? Maybe she's testing her to see if her mom will impose the same rules that are imposed in your household? How about being adults and getting together with the mother to work towards a solution. Working together is so much more effective.

Then you impose consequences for not handing in her work. But those consequences should not include cancelling visitation with Mom. EVER. This is a pretty normal problem to be having. Learn to handle it in a more constructive way.
