Can You Deny Visitation if The Other Parent's New Partner Wants to Pick Up the Child

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio

I just found out the reason my husband left is because he has another woman. If he sends her to pick up my daughter-am I legally required to send her with this random person I don't know?

There's no inherent reason why a parent can't send a friend, relative, babysitter, or other appropriate individual to pick up a child. If you don't want that to occur, you should seek language in the court order limiting who can pick up the child.

Dad knows her. That's generally all that's required.

Actually not true. Both parents need to know who the other person is. If they are still married, she can get a no-paramour order from the court for the pendency of the divorce in order to prevent the mistress from being around the child.

Keep in mind, whatever mom does to dad, dad can do to mom. If you want to make life more difficult for your child and dad because you are still hurting, it is going to backfire when you move on and dad doesn't approve of your new partner.

It's good to see an Ohio expert here.

From your comment, it seems that Ohio courts are inclined to grant injunctions that are much broader than restrictions on overnight guests when the children are present. What is the typical language of a "no paramour" provision in an Ohio custody order?

I don't think it unreasonable to request that the mistress of a still-married guy not pick up kiddo..that's if they are still married of course.

From what has been shared with us so far, the question is entirely in the hypothetical.

Hey, Mom - this is Lucy.

(now Mom knows who Lucy is)

But what actually constitutes a paramour?

Of course, we are still left with, until a court says no one but Dad can pick up or drop off, Dad can send anyone he wants to to drop off or pick up and Mom is going to have to let the child go.
