Q: I need help, my daughter's dad has an open drug charge. It's a Df2 18-18-405. Should I continue doing visitation ?
We have orders in place now. He also has a status conference Monday January 29th. I'm worried for my daughter's safety.
A: You should comply with the existing orders. If you feel your daughter is in imminent danger, you can file a motion to restrict parenting time. Then any parenting time must be supervised until the next court hearing within 14 days. You should retain an attorney to discuss how best to proceed.
A: More information is needed to answer your question. You need to consult with an attorney as to the specifics of your case, his drug charge, etc. If there are immediate safety concerns tied into the drug charge a motion to restrict parenting time could be filed. If there are no orders for visitation in place at this time you should stop visitation until you speak with an attorney.
