 Custody Issues and protecting our daughter | |
I live with my fiancee who has a 6 year old girl from a previous marriage, my fiancee has sole custody of their daughter. Her ex husband sees his daughter every week, on a Friday after school one week (1530-1730) and then Saturday morning till Sunday evening the next week. This process then repeats.
Unfortunately we are experiencing problems from her ex husband. He doesnt give any positive parenting from his side regarding the break up and the new home his daughter now finds herself in. For example, she has to call me names what he gives me because he doesnt like me, he talks to her about court cases and tells his daughter mummy lies about money (he is in court for not paying maintenance), he tells his daughter she can go and live with him if she isnt happy with us. Perhaps one of the best ones he said was that if i died he could move back in!
We are worried about the pyschological damage this is doing to our girl and what is the best way to alleviate this. We have spoke about having supervised visits, is this easy to implement? We have also spoke about moving out of the area, this would limit his access and lessen his influence, would there be any issues with this?
Any help or advice gratefully received.
Thanks
