Can you stop your ex new partner seeing your child?

Unfortunately, as long as you don't suspect that they are going to harm your child in any way, and your ex-partner has a contact order to see your children, then there is not much you can do. If you think your child is at risk of harm from your ex-partner's new partner then you must contact the police straight away.

How far away can my ex moved with my child?

There is no set geographical distance dictating exactly how far away you can move with your child, but but if that distance is deemed to significantly affect the other parent's ability to have a meaningful relationship with the child, then the court will need to establish if the move is in the child's best interests.

Do I have the right to know who my child is around?

Each parent is entitled to know where the children are during visitations. They should also know if the children are left with other people such as babysitters or friends when the other parent is not there. Both parents should realize that visitation schedules may change as children age and their needs change.

Can I stop someone from being around my child?

If you truly believe she may be a threat to your children you can petition the court for an order prohibiting from being in the presence of the children during his visitation. However, my experience has shown the courts usually require there to be an actual threat, not just a concern that something happen.
