Can I deny the visitation to the other parent even if the court has ordered the visitations hours?
The reason I ask it’s because the other parent may be involved with child services from the children of the person he is seeing at this time. They are both still married with there other partner but they are seeing each other in spite of that, and the husband of the person that his seeing (from what I heard) is violent. To me, that’s not a healthy environment for the child that’s 4 years old (I have never been married to the child’s father).

Okay if you believe that your child could be placed in a situation that could possibly put him in danger then you need to make an application to the court for modification of the present visitation schedule based upon the "best interests of the child." If you just refuse the visitation then you are in contempt of the court order which is not a good position to be in. Good luck.
