A: It sounds like you're facing a frustrating and challenging situation with your daughter's visitation arrangements. If the court ordered supervised visits with her mother’s boyfriend as the supervisor, but you feel uncomfortable or believe this arrangement is causing unnecessary conflict, you have the right to request a modification. You can petition the court to assign a neutral third-party supervisor, such as a professional or a family member who is less likely to create scheduling issues.

Make sure to document any missed visits or communication problems to provide the court with a clear picture of the challenges you’re experiencing. This can include texts, emails, or any other communication regarding scheduling that shows a pattern of disruptions or difficulties caused by the current arrangement.

In your request to the court, emphasize the impact this has on your ability to maintain a consistent relationship with your daughter. If the current supervisor is creating obstacles, the court may consider alternatives to ensure that visits happen regularly and without unnecessary complications.
