Background: My step daughter is 12 years old. Access has always been 50/50 (no court paper) until March 2019. Her father was informed that her mother is living with a man who is currently and has numerous charges in the past of beating up women. We have court documents stating such, stemming back from 2007-2019.
We stopped the 50/50 access and removed her from this environment in March 2019 but providing access every time the mother requested (which was very little). We even asked the mother if she wanted to have D12 on numerous occasions. Her mother brought us to court for an urgent motion for stopping access. Temporary minutes of settlements were signed. 3 - 3 hours visits per week as per the child wishes and to not be anywhere near the mothers partner during her visits. Mom has been asking D12 to lie to Dad.
The mother breached this order, D12 told us she was near him a few times during her visits. At one of the visits, we were told again, we then picked up D12 from the mothers home and brought her to her maternal grandmothers for the visit with her mother to continue away from the mothers partner.
She brought a motion for contempt of the order indicating that the father breached the order for access. We were supposed to attend court for this matter on Friday but we received an email from our lawyer indicating that they wish to request an adjournment.
We are looking for some thoughts on our situation. All we want is to provide a safe environment for D12. An OCL has been appointed as per the mothers request. We met with the OCL. The mother and her partner has not as of yet.
