Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Can I tell the NCP his wife isn't allowed at my house

My daughters father and his wife have been very disrespectful to me many times. His wife has called me up and yelled at me over a note I sent asking if our daughter was receiving her meds, and gotten on the phone when the NCP and I were talking about our daughter and proceeded to yell at me again for something that didn't happen. Recently they both came to the house to drop my daughter off. I asked to speak with the NCP regarding a few issues I had. Our daughter didn't want to leave so I was hopeing we could handle it like reasonable adults. After I told him I didn't want him to make agreements with anyone without consulting with me. SHe opened the car door and started talking to me about it. I turned to her and told her this didn't concern her and to butt out since this was between my daughters father and I. She said ''honey this does to concern me'' And got so loud and aggressive that the NCP and I couldnt talk and he had to close her door and leave. She was acting disrespectful, rude and aggressive in front of my 4 yr old. I emailed him, via his demand and told him she wasn't allowed at my house anymore. Can I do that? What can I do if she comes back? Can I call the police or refuse to let them take my our child?

It is not against the law to be situationally stupid - many of us would be serving life sentences. Certainly you can control who enters your house or apartment. If this is really important to you, you can bring a motion to modify in front of the judge. I can tell you that judges take an extremely dim view of this conduct and include all actors present in the behaviour. You might suggest that all adults take a class in how to behave properly. Might make you look good and the other party look bad. Good Luck.
