Q: A CA court ordered supervised visits for non-custodial parent due to abuse of the other parent.....
Non-custodial parent had 3 visits then stopped showing up hence the supervising agency terminated services. Almost a decade has passed. Non-custodial parent was incarcerated for federal crime for 6 of those years and is attempting visits 3 years AFTER release from custody. Custodial parent has to file Request for Order and go back to court? Visitation was terminated by agency when he stopped showing up. Does visitation agency have jurisdiction to start visits again with no court intervention? Non-custodial parent does not have to petition court after visits were terminated? Visits after this long would be horribly disturbing for children. What do I say to agency who sees no problems with this? Do I have to file for a hearing when he is the one trying to have visits again? Court order states no remedy for supervised visits being terminated. No back child support has ever been paid as well.
