What is the name of your state? I live in GA and Father lives in FL and this is the state we have been served from concerning visitation
The father of my child sexual molested another child and turned himself in to the police. The mother of the child had been sexually abused at one time I understand and was very scared and ended up dropping the charges. Since he had turned himself in and admitted to it he ended up going to court and he was sentenced and I am unsure as to what the sentence was beyond court ordered counseling.
We did not no about the crime until a friend of both my family and his family was concerned about the welfare of my son. I was able to obtain a copy of the police report and spoke with the arresting officer.
I then implemented supervised visitation on the spot. I was able to this due to the fact that he was proven the father thru the courts in GA and child support was put in place but there were no visitation rights stipulated or enforced by a court and I have sole custody of my son.
The father did not like supervised visits at all and we spoke with one of the pastors at my church where the father admited to the abuse of another child. The pastor told him he had to earn my trust back and it could take a very long time. Well after that meeting he didn't do much about it but complain.
A year and half go by with maybe 12 visits of a day and he is really putting pressure on me. Well I agreed my son could ride in his car and go thru a drive thru for some lunch on the way home from church. He showed up three hours later without calling. The very next visit to my home he almost struck me and was very abusive verbally concerning the supervision he was undergoing. My husband almost had to become physical with him to get him out of our home.
He is now sueing me from the state of FL and wanting unsupervised visits with a schedule of every other weekend, summer months and alternating holidays. Also stating he wants me to travel 1/2 the distance to FL to meet him for these visits.
Is there any way to stop him totally or keep the supervised visitation and goveren who watches my son if I am forced to send him to FL for visits.
From everything I have been reading it says that it is very hard to get supervised visitation.
Please help me I have to respond to the FL courts.
