What for? Baseball games are usually held in public-access parks. Thus, he, or I, or anyone would be entitled to watch the game.

Is he disturbing the peace, or otherwise violating the law? Is he violating a restraing order you have in place against him?

You ex is your child's father and he should be allowed to watch his own son play ball. Children have forgiving kind hearts and not the angry, judgmental hearts that adults acquire later in life due to unfortunate circumstances. To the child his dad is the best dad in the world (whether that's the case or truly isn't doesn't matter. That child will benefit seeing his father watch him play ball. Unless of course he is there to be negative, or there is a judgment against him to not be there. Always invite, inform the child's father, as you would want to be notified or invited as the mother. He already doesn't get to be/see the child enough as it is. It's for the child. Not you. My neices father is in fail for life for molesting her and the neighborhood children but she still loves him and wants to see him, etc... and that's natural so he's too far to go see but she sends letters. Save the not talking to each other when you are dead and gone.

If these are public games, yes the other parent can ( and should) be coming to them. Unless they are causing a problem, the parent who does not want them there is way.
And DID I SAY WAYYYYY. Out of line here. Start tying to parent with the interest of the child and the ability to see and have both parents involved in their life and activies

The ball game is held in a public ball field. Therefore, he is entitled to attend unless there is a restraining order in place. So no, you can't have him removed.

That being said, SHAME ON YOU! It sounds like your breakup was bitter and contentious. I have no clue what you went through, but your child should not be a pawn in your anger towards your ex. You are BOTH his parents and you both have rights to be a part of his life. There are many threads here from parents and children who would love to have the non custodial parent show up at a ball game, recital, school play, etc. And you have the nerve to want to ARREST him for doing so.

If you love your child then you NEED to put aside your feelings for his father for his sake. Back to the legal, if you were to do something like that or prevent the father from being a part of your child's life, this could be considered parental alienation and could be used against you in custody issues.

Its nice that you want to help, but this question was posted in the Family Law forum. The law forums (as well as other technical forums) are held to a higher standard of response. Responses here need to conform to statutory law (or other facts). While I don't disagree with the sentiments you express,you did not deal at all with the legal issues involved. Please consider this if you want to respond to other law forum questions in the future.
