Q: Can my husband have visitation with court order against him?
We have a hearing soon and I want to know if he can still get visitation. He has a drinking problem and will not get help.
A: If you convince the judge that the drinking problem is severe, the judge can order that the father's parenting time be supervised. The judge is supposed to do what's best for the CHILD, so not allowing the child to see their father is extreme, but there are many factors to consider and your question doesn't provide much information ( how old is the child, how long have your been separated? are they any visits allowed now? etc) I assume you have alawyer since you say you have a hearing coming up, so you should go over all this with your attorney.
