[qb] Hi, my name is Kari and I am new to this sight.
My son, Jacob, his dad is taking me to court to get visitation. So far we have gone to court once. Let me remind you that I was not represented by anyone because I got served 2 day prior to the court date. We had a crimial judge, not a family judge, so I got screwed. He is allowed to see his son every other weekend from 9-6. Last weekend was his first weekend. He picked him up late on Saturday and dropped him off early. I found out the reason he dropped him off early is so he could go to the horse races and gamble and drink. Then Sunday he thinks he can come early but I won't let him. Then he drops Jacob off early again. His court orders state that he is NOT allowed to consume alcohol with in 24 hours of having or in possesion of Jacob. He broke that one on day 1. The orders also state that he is NOT allowed to smoke when he is in possession of Jacob either. He broke that one on day 1 and on day 2. The first day he brings his girlfriend and his roommate to pick Jacob up. He didn't put the carseat in right and didn't even sit with his son on the 2 hour car trip to his aunts house. Instead his roommate did. He has addmitted all of this to me and didn't think that he broke his orders. What a jerk. My son is 6 months old. We go to court again in 2 weeks. I am trying to get his visitation taken away. Is this a good idea?? If not taken away then supervised visitation. Also the court ruled that he is allowed to have Jacob for one month during the summer time, my son is too young to be taken overnight and I thought that visitation laws for children under the age of 3 was different. Can someone please help me on what to do?? Thanks for you help.

I think that supervised visitation is a good idea. You son needs his Dad to be in his life but you want him to be safe and responsibly cared for. Also, you might think about recording your conversations with you ex. I think that it was very wrong that you were notified only 2 days in advance. Could you get a court appointed attorney to represent you? I don't like the way the court system works. Its' usually the person that has the money that gets the best representation. Good Luck! quote: Originally posted by kari2482:
