Can I stop my ex seeing my child?

It is usually considered to be in the child's best interests to have some contact with the non-resident parent. This is not changed by, for example, your own feelings about your ex.

If there is a genuine reason why it is not in the child's interests to have contact with your ex - for example, if your ex is abusing the child - you can apply to the court for an order to prevent contact.
