visitation case question ?
413992
I don't know about Arizona laws but in Ohio I had to notify the courts and then they notified my ex and he had so many days to take me back to court. But if that happens the Judge will hear why you want to leave the state and more than likely he will not stop you if you say your going there to get a better job for you and your daughter.

It is very sad that has happened but unfortunatly that may be his best option. Does he still pay his child support? He needs to continue paying it even if he is not seeing his son because if they do end up back in court it will look better on him. I know that if you do not have a child back from visitation on time the police can be called, I wonder if it works the other way to. ( like she's not having the boy there for his visitation time if he can call the police on her) He may also try to contact his local DSS office and explain the situation to them and see if they can help or they may know who to contact to help him. Good luck to your friend!

Well, the police aren't going to show up and serve the warrant because he's not there to serve the warrant on, right?  \n\nThey might very well come looking for him there, though, because evidently he has used his address with his lawyer (though the police almost certainly don't have access to that information).  \n\nWhether they might come or not, why not head this thing off at the pass?  You've said you're okay with them showing up if the kids aren't home and you'll give them your ex's current whereabouts, so why not just cough it up right now and hopefully keep them from even showing up at your door?\n\nSome ways to do that which would likely be the most effective:\n\nWrite a letter to the court he's being prosecuted in and give them his current address.  \n\nWrite another letter to the prosecutor's office (just a photocopy of the court's will do), and tell them the same thing.\n\nWrite a letter (again, photocopies are probably fine for all of these) to the police department or sheriff's office that would likely serve the warrant, if there was one issued.\n\nYou might even want to consider returning the paperwork to the attorney's office with a note that if he fails to show up, you'll gladly give his correct address to anyone who asks for it.  \n\nAll this letter-writing should also take into account your risk for doing so.  If you think he'd take violent exception to your actions, you might not want to do it in a way that he'd know it was you.  If you'd like, enable the Yahoo!Answers user-to-user email, and I can send you a suggestion for how to do that.\n\nYou might also check with the court to find out what his next appearance date is - that is probably public information, no matter what state you're in.  Explain why you want to know, and ask if they will tell you (if you call after that date) if he showed up or not.  If he showed up, then this is all moot.  If he didn't, then you might want to consider writing those letters.\n\nBest of luck!

Don't leave. It can be used against you later to keep you from getting even partial custody. Stay for the sake of at least visitations. I know, I had to go through the same sh!t.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. I was in a similar situation 7 years ago but her father was actually convicted of molesting a young girl in town and he was sent to jail so i have sole custody of her. But I do know from working with troubled kids that there are supervised visits you can ask for where the visits are in a safe location with a member of social services or another agency like that present during the visit. It may be an option for you to look into and i hope everything works out.

that's not true. the children still have to eat, so money doesn't have anything to do with visitation. just like visitation can't be witheld because of no child support, it also goes for the other way around!

you need to go back to court to re due the child visitation..you must have it in writing in court order super vice visits only no family and friends are to attend the visit ..make sure that you put it in paper work ..remember to look for the location near you that provides this kind of supervising don't use family or friend use a agency.. they have one in California called haven house the agency is for parents that use drugs or unable to be alone with child.  and used by the cps..always keep a Daley log book on your child of all expenses and things that happen in order to have proof of your accusation you  must prove him unfit to have monitor visit of drugs or any abuse ..police reports do help in this case..next time don't Waite to long file your abandonment paper work ...go to court let them know you have no address or phone number on him ....why is it that a father disappears and then comes back and won ts to be father of the year.....

You should first contact the courthouse and find out the exact details of your visitation rights and then go from there. But just by the way you r describing it, I'm pretty sure it is a violation of his probation. (Not 100% though, sorry.)

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!

If he ever threatens you with bodily harm or anything, file for a restraining order or protective order.  Given his criminal history, it may be possible for him to only be allowed court supervised visitation of the child.  You were right to demand that he only see the child during the court oredered visitation.  Do not feel one bit guilty about that.  As for the money, if the child is old enough to listen to what he says, the child is old enough to listen to what you say as well.  Tell the child that the money is what he is required to pay for supporting his child and it is not stolen, but is his responsibility to pay so you can feed the child.  That is honest.  Don't bad-mouth the father to the child.  Just state the facts without emotion.  Kids are pretty smart and can put it together. :o)\n\nDo be careful.  You might consider making sure you have good locks on your home and keep it locked all the time to protect yourself.  The law is on your side, so stick to it.  Don't play his game.  I told my ex that I wasn't his wife anymore and didn't have to fight with him, but that he could contact my attorney and/or the state child support office.  They get paid to deal with him so I don't have to.  You don't have to fight with your ex either.\n\nIf he ever threatens you bodily in any way.... take legal action immediately.  Do not hesitate to call the police and file a protective order.  We all have heard the horror stories of what twisted men do to women they supposedly "loved" at some point.  Be careful and use wisdom.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

I agree with you.  When a parent doesn't use their right to visitation, then suddenly wants it all, that has got to do damage to a child.  The system is so overloaded that they can't do a case by case review and then limit visitation for an elusive parent.\n\nIf you can, try to talk to your ex and explain what your child's fears are.  See if before he takes him for 6 weeks, he will visit him as much as possible.

Why not see if you can get a free consultation with a lawyer or someone who can look over the papers and tell you what they mean.  It seems that if a parent didn't want visitation, they wouldn't be able to force it.  I mean, how would it be in the best interest of the child to send them to spend time with someone who wants nothing to do with them?  It wouldn't be doing the father or the child any good.  They shouldn't be concerned, especially if he is paying support and not causing any trouble with the girl and her mother.

I don't know what foc means but here where I live we have what's called Division of Family Services. If that is what foc means for you then you should talk to a case worker about setting up supervised visitation, if you think the child could be in danger with the other parent. And if they can not help you then you will probably have to hire a lawyer and do a parenting plan on the visitations on who has the child on the weekends and holidays.

Contact the court having jusidiction over the child or who originally heard the case.

Which parent has custody?  These visitation rights sound horrible.  Also $250 for child support for 2 kids is a drop in the bucket.  What's up with that?  I hope this isn't something the court set up and if it is they need to go back to court and get it straightened out.  Are they just selfish?  Surely they (the parents) see what they're doing to these kids?

I hate to say it but I believe you have a reason to be concerned about your soon to be ex-husband's visits to your son even though they are supervised.  \nMy suggestion would to make sure your attorney has the information.  Due to his past history make your request for supervised visitation be a non negotiable point in the divorce.  Make sure your attorney brings it up to the judge.  Usually at some point the judge will ask you if you have anything to say.  Tell him/her yes.  Explain the abuse and drugs and so on to the judge.  Have it written down at least the key points so you remember everthing you want to say to the judge that way you don't leave anything out.    \nAlso for your peace of mind, I would suggest you talk to a therapist or member of clergy to help you deal with your feelings about him and his behaviors.  \nSomeday you will find that special someone who will love you and your son.  He will be the best person for you and your son.  \nBest of luck

He is still their father.  Payment of child support is not a condition of visitation.  The odds are good that he won't do anything, but he could drag your g/f into family cort and ahve her compelled to bring them over.  If she refuses she could be held in contempt until complies.  She is looking at fines and possible jail time.  Rather than just stopping she should speak to him and ask if he has any objections.
