I am fully against any harmful environments my children may be in. I am fully against all any and any “Illegal” activities at my children’s reach. I Ricardo S. Mercado have concluded that the home visitations of our sons Caleb J Mercado, and Ricky Mercado Jr. to your home residence will end.
This decision is based on Facts of Testimony of our two sons, Caleb J. Mercado 13 and Ricky Mercado Jr. 12 on (08/10/2007).

No -- a person cannot generally change the custody or visitation arrangement as set forth by the court.
If there is no court order for custody or visitation, and the person who wrote that letter has sole legal and physical custody, then yes, they have every right to decide who their children visit.
But if the court ordered custody or visitation, then the only way to change that is to have the court order a change -- if the person violates the court order and refuses to comply with custody or visitation orders, they are subject to contempt citations.

These are your children?
They can't just take them away. They would have to obey any court order of custody already in force. If this is true, you don't want to go to court and lie or go to court and admit it. If it's not true then you want the court to enforce any custody agreements you already have.
Sometimes in domestic situations, one person just tries to push the other one around.

run it past your lawyer to be sure, and likely you will have to file it with the court, to get a change in visitation rights. but it looks good to me.
