Q: I have physical custody of my children, the father has visitation rights. A incident accurred where the father had the
Police called and he passed my son drugs to hold. Can the father lose visitation? I don't want my children interfering with him if he is having drugs around them.
A: Child Custody, Visitation and Support are always modifiable by the Court so long as you show that there has been a material change in circumstances from the last Order entered and that the Modification is in the Child's best interests. If these alleged facts are true you would have a very strong argument to request the Court Modify the current visitation and you could ask the court to terminate all visitation or require supervised visitation. I strongly urge you to retain counsel and request the Court Modify/Terminate visitation with the Father.
