Q: Father of my fiancé’s children who I’ve raised for the past 3 years is getting off of parole in MI for violent crime...
The violent crime was endangering the mother and the two children. He has lost sole physical and legal custody. He has since been released and is half way through parole. How do the kids mother and I make sure he cannot see them anymore after he gets off parole? Is it possible he can get visiting rights? He has 2 felonies and a long violent history
A:
Short of termination of parental rights, there is nothing you can do to prevent this man from asking the court for parenting time. Granted, he faces a significant uphill battle.
If you were married, you could try a step-parent adoption whereby this man voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights, and you become the child's legal father.
