How Does It Work Regarding Not Wanting Felons Around Children When Making A Custody Agreement?

Card image cap

Location: California So my husband’s brother is a violent felon, he’s been previously convicted of armed robbery and he is now back in prison for violence and drug possession. When I was pregnant with my son he threatened to beat me up, smashed my windshield and threatened to throw away my baby belongings. I called the police but they said they only thing they can do is tell him to not do it again, I still made a report. I also have text proof of all of this. When he is out of prison he uses fake accounts to message my husband calling me derogatory names as well. So clear pattern, he’s not going to stop.

Anyways my husband has said that if I divorce him, he will go back to having a relationship with his brother. That’s fine he can do that but I fear for my children being around this man. He is extremely violent and unsafe. He can’t even go 6 months without getting locked up. This has been a pattern since he was around 16.

Can I put it in the agreement that he is to not be around our kids? Do I need my husband to agree with this for it to be put in our agreement?
