Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
My husband and I are going through a separation/divorce. He has manipulated my children (especially my son) against me by including them in adult situations. As a result of him including my children when he should be protecting them, both of my children do not want to stay or speak with me. Is there any way that I can legally make him not speak of our marital issues to and in front of the children?

Absolutely. You can file a motion for temporary orders with the court for the court to order your husband not to speak "disparaging" against you to the children, not include them in adult situations, and not do anything else that you believe is inappropriate and not in their best interests. Of course, he will likely deny that he is doing any of these things and it will be difficult to prove that he is or does, but if he agrees not to do these things in the future and you can prove that he is still doing them, then it will be grounds for contempt against him as well as evidence regarding his rights to custody/visitation after the divorce.
