I have been served with papers stating my ex is suing to modify the court order on vistitations. Right now he has supervised visits that are supervised by myself or someone that I choose. I no longer wish to supervise these visits, no one I know is willing to supervise either so I chose a supervision service to supervise visits. Problem is that now he no longer visits the children and is constantly trying to convince me to supervise him and the kids.

There has been an argument in front of the kids, he has told my son (who is only 8) that my boyfriend looks like a nazi, and that he hopes the church burns down the day we get married. Obviously this upset my son. My children do not ask to see him and I have never denied them calling him (since I won't supervise visits).

My question is how do I file an answer? This is what I have come up with:

Modification of Possession and Access.

The order to be modified is not based on a mediated or collaborateive law settlement agreement. The circumstances of the children, a conservator, or other party affected by the order to be modified HAVE NOT materially and substantially changed since the date of rendition of the order to be modified.

The requested modification is NOT in the best interest of the children.

What type of modification is he seeking?

He is asking for regular visits: every other weekend and holiday

Umm where did you get that legal gobblygook? Keep it simple. State that nothing has substantially changed since the order was first issued. That the father stopped seeing the children when you engaged a service to supervise visits. That he has made statements in front of the children that are frightening to the children.

Scott, I basically copied what he wrote and I thought the same thing you did. I guess he wrote it.

Thanks for your advice, I guess I've been so stressed out over this that I didn't think of that. I'll keep you posted
