Question:
Can my ex-wife prevent me from showing up at my children’s activities, such as baseball games or school plays?
I have joint legal custody and she has sole physical custody.
Answer:
I am unable to give you legal advice on divorce. I can give general divorce help for men, though, my knowledge is based on Minnesota divorce laws where I am licensed to practice.
Unless a court order prohibits you from having contact with your ex-wife, and it is a public setting such as a school or church, you are free to show up at your kids’ activities.
You generally cannot be present at an activity in a private home unless you are invited to that home.
Remember, I am unable to provide you with anything more than divorce tips for men, so please consult with a divorce lawyer in your jurisdiction.
To arrange an initial consultation to discuss divorce rights for men with a Cordell & Cordell attorney, including Minnesota Divorce Lawyer Andrew J. Laufers, contact Cordell & Cordell.
