Port Richey, FL asked in Child Custody, Domestic Violence and Family Law for Florida

Q: Father of 3 ur old has not seen child in 9 months, just filed petition for visitation. He is a registered sex offender

His sex offender charge was 800.04 lewd and luscious sexual battery on minor under the age of 15 . I am seeking supervised visitation, also I do not think mediation is going to go smooth due to what I seek and his past. But wanted to know if this kind of case ends up with us having a guardian ad litem as well as my other question. Also I have witnesses that where present during domestic violence where he hit me but I did not call the police. However have record of after breakup I had to call the police to get child from him during him visiting with her and he made suicide threat to me. So I went and got her from location, also have a report of his girlfriend that he lives with now just coming to my front door threatening me. I could not get a restraining order but notes were made of the call and neighbors seen her and heard her. Thank you for any information you may have, my attorney is not answering some of my questions, our relationship has been over text and email

A: He actually is entitled to see the child(ren) but in this case it should be at a visitation center only. You should hire a lawyer to represent you in the case.
