Question

What can you do to keep someone from getting visitation rights to your child?

Answer 1

Prove to the courts that visiting that person would be detrimental to the child's well-being.

Answer 2

Thats whats wrong with the world today, they were good enough to make a baby with, but not good enough for you to be in the childs life. How sad and pathetic. You need to stop and realize that in the long run, you are only gonna hurt your child and make them hate you in the end.

Answer 3

Every child belongs to 2 people, the mom and the dad.  So, in the case of divorce or separation, the 2 parents still have connection to each other through their shared child.  If your co-parent has been awarded visitation rights then there is nothing you can or should do unless there are document-able reasons that you fear for the child's safety.  If your reasons are legitimate than you take the case back to court.  Your child has as much right to be in both of his/her parent's lives as both of his/her parents have the right to be a part of the child's life.

Answer 4

Go to court and prove them to be unfit.  That's the only way.

Answer 5

You have to have good reasons, and they have to be in the best interests of the child - not because YOU don't like the person!

Answer 6

The only way is to prove them to be incapable. Don't do it just to hurt the other parent or just because you don't like them.
