What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
I am the mother of a 6 year old. Her father has visitation every other weekend @ his house. He misses visits constantly (about 1/2 the time) and then also takes months of absences at a time...he currently hasnt seen her at all in 4 months. He is taking me to court to get his Child Support reduced bc he lost his job. He also filed a motion asking for his visitation to be enforced (I have never denied). Im not sure if he is just asking for visitation to "look better" in front of the judge to help his Child Support decrease case (after all, if he was so worried about visits, he already has a schedule that he doesnt use).
If visits resume, I have serious concerns about the house that my daughter has her visits at. He has recently become a member of the Bloods street gang and his house is being used for illegal activity. He is stupid enough to post videos and pictures of these things onto YouTube/FaceBook. I have the videos and a bunch of pictures showing this activity (gang affiliation, him with guns, stolen property, marijuana use).
I have brought similar things up to the court in the past and they have kinda went ignored but I never had pictures to prove as much. I would like a decrease in visitation (due to how often he cancels and also the extended absences) and I would like the visits to be in a safe environment, maybe even supervised by me.
Am I being reasonable? Do I have enough to make a serious Cross Motion? Will these pictures and videos send a message to the judge about the environment that she has to be in? Thanks.
