3. A married father of six was having a sexual affair with another woman. Very active in the education of his children, one of his kids suspected he was with another woman. Their mother took them to “watch” their father, confirming their suspicions. The mother, devastated and distraught, was very angry and did not want her husband to talk to her children at school. However, because there is no legal document barring him from seeing his children, he was able to do so. Based on the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy’s Code of Ethics, examine how you would work with the mother in the case scenario regarding her husband’s desire to talk to his children at school
