Only with a court order. If you feel the mother would present a danger to the child during visitation, you must file for a modification to visitation based on the same and wait for the judge to rule on it. If time is an issue, you can file for an emergency order. Otherwise, if you refuse the mother access to her child as outlined in the original visitation order, you risk being found in contempt of court and that can bring fines and/or jail time.
Take it to court.
