Ending visitation?

If you intend to stop visitation you should file an action for custody. Because you have a Separation Agreement, because the court has never heard this issue before they will consider all the facts in this case and make a determination of custody based on the best interests of your children.

My daughter and ex have been in counseling for several months. They have major relationship issues and we have been attempting to solve them with professional help. The counselor is advising me that she feels my daughter should not go to his house for overnight vististation until the issues are solved or worked through.

Well yesterday, my ex let me know that he is not going to counseling anymore. He says it is too difficult to go with his schedule, but yet didn’t request a different arrangement with the counselor.

Our visitation agreement is part of our separation agreement. If I intend to completely stop my daughter’s visits to his house, I assume that I’ll need to go to court. Correct? I would love for my daughter to have a relationship with her father, but I feel that I need to follow the professional advise at this point.
