Have a lawyer help you make visitation rules.
If your teenage daughter is abusive sit down with her and try to counsel her.
If your teenage daughter is verbally abusive, you can take her to a therapist or even call the police.
Both.
His father was abusive, both mentally and psychically.
if he want to commit sadist acts with you such as murder, bondage, or bestiality, then he is prolly still abusive.
If you can prove that he's been mentally abusive (statements and letters from friends or family would help) then it would be up to a judge to decide whether the children should be subjected to a mentally abusive father. By the way, there are some who believe that allowing children to witness the physical or mental abuse between parents is actually a form of child abuse.
He was verbally abusive to his daughter but there's no valid info about him being physically abusive.
Interesting question...your question assumes that the runaway is from an abusive home. Please first investigate this carefully. I am the mother of a Bipolar daughter who is a habitual runaway and will tell any kind of lie to stay out on her own. I know many kids come from abusive backgrounds, but many are also mentally ill and have families that love them. Please consider this for your situation. God Bless!
unless he has been abusive towards the child you cant stop him from seeing his child. but if mentally unstable maybe with supervision
It's his daughter so he is the one that has to deal with it. Tell him how you feel and say otherwise you don't want to be there when she's over. If you live together you can point out that it's your home too and you shouldn't have to put up with that in your own home. Loose that fool ! IF he doesent make her respect you then he obviousley doesent respect you either.
If she is emancipated there isn't anything you can do. Just be there and don't loose contact with her. Even if it means pretending to be nice to him. If you can prove he is abusive to her or the baby or in front of the baby you could file for custody.
A 16 year old girl does not want any over night visitation with her father does she have to go? *** If they live in the US and Dad has court-ordered visitation, she has to go. If there is a legitimate reason that she doesn't want to go (he's abusive, a drug user, etc), then the custodial parent can go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified. However, without a legitimate reason, the court will not deny a parent the right to visit/maintain a relationship with their child.
