LAW LOVER’S LOUNGE: “How do I stop my ex from seeing our kids?!”

Our LAW LOVER'S LOUNGE™ series addresses a general overview of some of the most important issues to the general public! Attorney Courtney E. Anderson has owned a general practice law firm since 1998 in Texas, USA. A general practice attorney is similar to a general practice physician in that they address issues that do not require a specialist. They provide a primary level of legal services for commonly occurring legal issues and make referrals to specialists for more complex issues (appeals of cases, rare facts, unusual issues, etc.). We call this series its title because we do love law! Seriously.

This is a lounge because these are general discussions on general legal topic for public information purposes. There is no client relationship created between this show and Attorney Courtney E. Anderson, or The Law Offices of Courtney E. Anderson (Litigation-Mitigation.com). These disclaimers are important. The content in these shows is for general educational purposes and is not the delivery of legal services. This episode is, “How do I stop my ex from seeing our kids?!”

If your “ex” has a legal right to the kids, you cannot stop them for seeing them. Even if they are behind on their child support.

What do I mean by “legal right” to the kids? Presumption is that children born during legally recognized marriage are the children of the spouses. Science and technology now permit people to obtain genetic material (eggs from egg donors and sperm from sperm donors). There are surrogates who will carry implanted embryos. Figuring out who is the “mother” and who is the “father” is not always simple.

If your “ex” (boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé, etc.) does not have a legal right to the kids, you can stop them from seeing them simply by saying so.
