My sister and her ex-husband both still see my niece. My sister has custody of the child, but personally, I always thought it'd be better for my niece if she never saw her real dad, but at the same time, wasn't lied to about it. Her dad is not a nice man. He always manipulates her when she comes to visit and scared her to death more than once saying her mommy (my sister) was never coming back. This worries me because I want the best for my niece.

How could my sister make it so she never has to see her ex in my nieces life again?

she would need to get a restraining order. If the father is a danger to your sister or your neice(which it sounds like he is) then the courts should grant her a restraining order.

YOu cant get a restrainign order just because of words...and you cant stop someone from seeing their children. My soon to be ex is emotionally abusing my chidlren adn alienated my older 14 yr old son beyond repair against me adn CPS knows about it and did nothing. he now hates me and wishes me dead fro leaving his abusive father. All I can do is pray that he will come back and not follow his dads footsteps. God knwos what he already told him to make him hate me. I havent seen him or spoken to him in some time :(. Its sad that when people divorce they cant be civil human beings but have to use kids as a tug of war...but I knwo God will show him what his father did to him and he will realize who was the good paretn and who wasnt and one day come back to me and his little brother.

I agree with you. He sounds like a total jerk and doesn't appear to be helping anyone at all. Hopefully she'll protect herself!

thats a pretty tough situation.Try going back to court and getting sole custody over the child. Also once the child is a certian age she can decide where she wants to soley live ect.

While you may not be able to get a restraining act for words alone, the action of scaring the child and lieing etc all munted up should be able to make a pretty strong case.

Thrawn is right, you can make a strong case if you prove that the child is endangered through psychological abuse.

I agree. She shold try to get him away from her daughter. Instead of helping his daughter to be better, he's doing more damage by doing these things.

The real trouble is proving something like that... might seem stupid but the court needs rock hard evidence, tape him doing wrong or whatever.
