My Daughter Doesn’t Want To Go To Her Dad’s Studio Apartment Anymore And He’s Threatening Court

Card image cap

My daughter’s (6F) dad and I have been to court before for child support, but didn’t set a custody or visitation agreement. I have full custody, but meet him halfway so he can take her once or twice a month. It has gotten sparse over the last year because he lives in a studio apartment with his girlfriend and takes my daughter over to visit when he has his biweekly visitation with his other child and my daughter has made it very clear to me that she is not comfortable when she has to stay there. The kids do not have their own space to play or sleep and have to share a pullout couch. He has biweekly visitation set with his other child, but will still somehow end up working those weekends. If he doesn’t have a childcare he makes them sit in a back room for the duration of his shift. My daughter does not want to go with him anymore, and since there is no custody agreement in place, I don’t make her go. Her dad is threatening to take me to court now to establish visitation. Would a judge rule in his favor and make my daughter go somewhere she has made clear she is not comfortable being?
