visitation interrupted

[freddy23]

my son(10) recently exposed himself to my stepdaughter(10) and said some choice words he is now in counseling for this and since the girls only come every other weekend I have also switched weekends with his dad so that the girls can come over without having to worry about this kind of thing happening again this happened about three months ago the older daughter was never bothered by this cuz he did not do this to her anyway the younger one was leary on coming over for awhile but now has started coming over but she wants to just stay one night instead of two but this is ok because we want her to come at her own pace even thought we think her mother is bribing her to stay home but anyway this is how matters stood until recently we had a financial disagreement and after discussng this issue on the phone and hung -up we were called back and told that they the mom and step-dad are calling the authorities about what my son did we are afraid that when we go to pick up the girls for our visitation she will not let us see them can she do this? and what can we do about it if she doesn,t let us take them?

Dear freddy23:
Yikes! If visitation of your step-daughters is interrupted, this is a legal matter only your husband can pursue, not you. I recommend your husband talk to a local family law attorney immediately about his options. I suggest local counsel for many reasons. First, there is obviously a court order already in place regarding visitation, and if anyone wants to change it or enforce it, they're going to have to go through the courts anyway. Second, courts are usually very protective of kids when it comes to child abuse. Your husband stands a good chance of having his visitation cut down, ordered supervised only, or even temporarily discontinued while the court orders a further investigation and psychological evaluations on the kids. Since it sounds like mom and step-dad are going to take legal action, your husband won't have much choice but to defend his visitation. So the quicker he gets in to talk to a local attorney who knows your state laws, the local judges, and how a local court is apt to handle this matter, the quicker he'll know what course of action he needs to take. Also, if mom and step-dad go to the DA's office with this matter, your son may need legal counsel of his own, so you may want to prepare yourself for that. Gear up; this could get messy. Best of luck to you and your family. Come back if you have more questions on the way.

cd card,
Thanks, I kinda figured this was the case. I was just hoping since she has been letting them come over for the past three months since this happened, and we have had my son be with his dad on the weekends that we had the girls that would work in our favor. Since she has agreed to this arrangement, until we had the argument over taxes. I am just trying to help my husband out with his options. I realize it will be up to him to do anything. I can't help feeling responsible seeing it was my son's actions.
