Q: If I have proof that my daughters dad is selling drugs do I legally have to let him go where he wishes to see her?
My daughters dad has been inconsistent with seeing her the last year of her life (she’s 2) and hasn’t seen her for a total of a month now, has all ways of me contacting him blocked, but guilt trips his mom about not seeing her, but I don’t want to get in trouble if I don’t allow visits. I actually had to get a restraining order against him in March 2020 bc he was threatening to beat me up (again, so yes hes also violent and abusive) and now I know he sells drugs. So I don’t feel it’s safe to send her with him. So I want to just allow him to see her at his mothers or meet us in public. But he never shows up when he’s supposed to come visit her there. So I’m lost with what I should do, from a legal stand point. Please help. I’m in Kentucky.
A: You should file a motion to limit or suspend his visitation and let the court rule. You cannot unilaterally withhold parenting time but if you submit your proof to the Court, then you will be covered.
