Can i restrict where my ex takes our daughter?

My husband and i split 5 weeks ago and we have a 5yo daughter together. We are currently going through the process of divorce. My husband is intending to move 2 hours away and live with his girlfriend and he wants to take our daughter to stay there every other weekend, she has 2 children herself. I think it is too soon as our daughter is really struggling, her behaviour has become violent and she has regressed. Can i prevent him from being able to take her there without stopping him contact with our daughter? We both have PR.

What is PR?
You are asking for someone to guess what the court will say. From the information you related here, the child acting out due to the divorce and the chnages, I really don't think using the change in the fathers lving arrangements would be enough to prevent visits to his home. You may want to include something about overnights being worked into , easying into the visist by increments. Such as 4 hrs for sverela weeks, then 8 hours etc,
Fathers have exactly the same righst as mothers in today's courts. so reverse the scenario, would you want him to use your new home as a reason to prohibit or restrict your visitation?

Well the court usally likes both parents to have joint custody. It is sad that the child is going though this but it is common, her parents are getting a divorce, The father will get his visitations, the court will not take that away from him, you might want to talk to your ex and see if he would give your child a little time, even if the court grants his visitation, he is an adult and can show some concern in his childs well being, your child will have to face this sooner or later, if the father will work out something with you, that would be the way to go. I will go with what the court sujests, if not in your favor about the father living with another woman, then try to work this out with him until the child has some time to adjust, you might also want to consider some counciling for her. Good luck!
