Visitation

[xxpraxusxx]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

OK my ex husband has supervised visitation with my child and is a registered sex offender and just recently got arrested for violating his probation. He is still in jail and can not be bonded out can i stop visitation since he is in jail? And the agreement is for his visitation to happen at his parents house.

Was the crime against his child? Or any child? Why was he placed on the SOR?

From what you've written, the visits are for Dad, not his parents. Until you're ordered to bring the children to the jail to see Dad, you don't have to, and I wouldn't.

Ok so basically since we know he is in jail we should stop visitation unless a court order says otherwise.

He was charged with sexual exploitation of a child. what does SOR mean?

what does SOR mean?

Sex Offender Registry.

If he's currently incarcerated for a sex crime against a child, it's quite likely the terms of any agreement or sentence included no contact with children. Certainly, that would be the case on his release, with a possible exception for his own children. Check into that before you decide to take the child for a visit, if you do.

That or if he is released ,then he picks up his supervised visitations.

How old is the child? When did he commit the crime? When was he placed on the registry? When was visitation ordered? How did he violate his probation?

She is 7, he was convicted and placed on the registry in 2010, visitation was ordered in 2012 when we got divorced, and he was at a chuck e cheeses, and his probation states that he is not allowed around places children gather at.

Visitation was ordered AFTER he was placed on the registry and therefore it took into consideration his conviction and registry. Was he at Chuck E Cheeses with your child? And if that is what his probation states, I could see a lawyer arguing that that is unconstitutionally vague and broad. Children gather 90% of places or could. You don't have to make your child visit him in jail if the court order does not require it but unless he committed a new offense, I don't see you getting visitation changed once he is out of jail based on the violation itself.

This is also the second time he has violated his probation

While that may be a possibility, some places are KNOWN for catering to children: Chuck E Cheese, a local park, public swimming pools, and any S.O. that wants to stay out of jail, stays away from such places!

I think there's a huge difference between say Pizza Hut and Chuck E Cheese, as far as kids "gathering".

And? By being at Chuck E Cheese?

I really think that only the opinions of his probation officer and the judge count in regards to whether or not he has violated his probation. Since he is actually in jail for violating his probation, I think that speaks for itself.
