Q: Unmarried father with history of domestic violence get unsupervised time with his kid?
Hello all, I have a 5 year old with my ex boyfriend. I have a permanent injunction against him with our daughter included since September 2018. He has 2 domestic violence misdemeanor battery convictions, and 2 violation of injunction convictions, all against me all within the past 3 yrs. He got out of jail in December 2019 after serving 9 months for violating the injunction. A mutual friend told me that he’s filing to establish paternity to see our daughter. I don’t mind him seeing her at least it is at a supervised visitation center. How likely is it tbh at he would get u supervised visits with her? She doesn’t even remember who he is. What kind of evidence is needed? I have text msgs of him threatening to kill both of us, I have pictures of bruises he has left on me, plus his convictions. Is that enough?
A: You need to be ready to present evidence as to why he should have supervised visitation. If there is no relationship then the timesharing would probably start with a reunification plan. You should schedule a consultation with a local lawyer to discuss the details.
