Q: As the custodial parent can I deny a supervised visit to be conducted at my sons fathers house?
My sons a father was granted supervised visits they have taken place at a public location but now he and the supervisor are trying to change the visits to be conducted at his house. Because of past incidents where his fiancé, her mother, and my sons father have put our son in harms way I am not wanting the visit to take place at the house. As the custodial parent can I deny this location and have visits remain in a public place.
A:
Your right to make decisions regarding the terms of the supervised visitation; such as location, times, supervisor etc. are all governed by the terms of the custody order. You would have to read your custody orders to determine what options you have, or do not have.
If they do not cover those situations or you are not in agreement with your ability to make decisions than you need to return to court for more detailed orders.
It would be best if you quickly sat down with a professional that could review your orders and advise you what course of action you should next take.
