Livermore, CA asked in Criminal Law, Family Law, Domestic Violence and Juvenile Law for California

Q: I am due in a month and a half and have a no contact order with the babies father. He wants to be at the birth.

I am okay with him being there as long as it is a safe environment. CPS has already stepped in when everything happened and told me he cannot be around my other children, but due to the baby not being born he didn’t count. Is there a legal way to allow him to be there without repercussions. I told him to ask his attorney but he doesn’t want to. I told him without the legal okay I am not willing to let him be at the birth or see baby until there is a court order. The reason for no contact is domestic violence due to him being drunk. No excuse but just giving you the information. I just feel he has a right to see his son but in a safe environment.

A: to be safe his lawyer should make an add to calendar and then move for the court to revise/amend the court order for that one day.
