Q: Can my daughter of 5 month old have supervised visitations with her dad?
Her dad molested her And I went to court (still fighting this, he denied it). He also was very abusive towards me during our time together, and I feel he will be abusive with my daughter too. He lives in an apartment that any one from his family go to when they don't have a place. So, I will not know with who exactly my daughter is with at his house. Also, he lives with a 23 year old boy with down syndrome that hits. He usually hit his grandma and she even bleed sometimes. I'm scare for my daughter to get hit or hurt by this boy. Can I request supervised visitations due to these issues?
A: Thank you for your question. There are options available concerning supervised parenting time. The issue would ultimately be decided by a court, unless he agreed to it, wherein a judge would make a determination based upon the best interest of your child. Additional facts are necessary to better guide you as to your specific situation so please schedule an appointment with an attorney to discuss.
