I got custody of my daughter because her mother is a prostitute. When I met my wife she was a bit ‘freaky’, believed in ‘ open marriage’ and was always out to earn ‘easy money’, if she worked at all. When we divorced she was quick to ‘give up’ custody of our daughter as she didn’t like responsibility and wanted an easy life. The court judgment awarded her visitation rights and our daughter, now aged 4, stays overnight with her mother once during the week and every other weekend. Recently her mother told me she had started studying – and was paying her way through college by ‘receiving clients’ at home. I know that she has at least a client a day, and sometimes more . I cannot bear the thought of my daughter being exposed to lifestyle her mother leads. What legal action can I take legal action to cancel or reduce her contact with her mother ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 06 June, 2022A father who was awarded custody of his child because her mother was a prostitute or escort girl can apply to the court for a cancellation or reduction in visitation rights. The father’s case would be that if the child is exposed to her mother’s prostitution she is at risk, and could suffer permanent emotional and/or psychological damage as a result. If a plea like that is made the court will appoint a professional (social worker) to make a report and recommendations regarding whether there should be a cancellation or reduction in the visitation rights while the mother carries on this lifestyle. Visitation rights , if retained or re-introduced , are likely to be held at a special ‘communication centre’ where they will be supervised and the child will not be at risk .
