Q: I am the caregiver of my 6 month baby and her father been there but can he bring her for over nite if she is so little?
And I did a verbal agreement with him but we never settle visitation. How does that works? How many days in the week I have to let him come to my house
A: Overnight visitations can take place for a child 6 months old. A verbal agreement is not valid, however. You need to get everything in writing and signed by both parties. The best way to go is to have an attorney write a court order with all the terms you agree on and then both of you sign and it gets sent to the court to be signed by a judge. You can also set down who has legal and residential custody. Please think about seeing an family law attorney to do this. Your verbal agreement won’t hold up if the father decides not to follow it, it must be in writing.
