Q: Does it look bad that I voluntarily agreed to supervised visitation?
I agreed out of court to supervised visitation. It's been 8 months and I want 50/50 and unsupervised. What are my chances?
A: Well... as to the custody part, it is incredibly hard to modify custody, as it depends on whether there has been a material change in circumstances that negatively impacts the child, and whether the judge would believe that it would be in the child's best interest to modify custody. As to the visitation, the standard to lower that is significantly lower.
