Louisville, KY asked in Cannabis & Marijuana Law, Family Law and Child Custody for Kentucky

Q: Can my baby’s father get visitation after possession and intent to sell of Marijuana?

My baby’s father has been inconsistent since I got pregnant, we were never together. He was charged with possession of Marijuana and intent to sell 6 months ago in Indiana (we live in Louisville, KY) and is on probation, he is also unemployed and we suspect he is still selling. He has seen her 5 times in her 13 months of life. He has not made any effort other than that and is now trying to request visitation of her through my partner and I. Would they give him visitation and if we took him to court? What should we do in this situation? My daughter lives with my Fiancé and I in our home and has everything she needs and more, we are just trying to protect her and we are at a loss with what to do in this situation.

A: Yes. He could still get visitation. I would do nothing snd make him take you to court. Then you can impeach him with all the drug convictions snd ammo you have.
