Silverplum was right when she said to listen to your attorney, that they understand the local law and climate of the judges better. If they are saying you probably can't get supervised visits ordered, then that's the best guess. It's possible. Transitional visitation (ie. shortened periods leading up to longer visitations) is also possible since child is very young and Dad doesn't have established relationship yet. Personally I have mixed feelings about making a big to do of Dad being bipolar b/c like Silverplum said, that doesn't make him on par w/Susan Smith or something, but it may be "fair" to bring up some concerns nonetheless. Keep in mind, though, that as much as you try to stigmatize your ex and try to make him look like a freak can trigger him to be in a bad place like it would for anyone even someone that considers themself totally mentally healthy. It would probably be best to try to work out an arrangement that allows you both to participate very closely in your child's life unless you have real proof that that is not best for the child and then you have to be prepared to offer that proof and have it examined by the judge, his attorney, etc.

Thank you for your reply. I will definitely work on how I treat him I really don't mean to put him in a bad place. I don't want to do anything to hinder him. I just had some conrcerns fr her protection. By no means am i looking to hurt him in anyway. I will try talking to my lawyer and seeing if there is any approach we can take to make sure our daughter is protected without making him feel like a loser or failure. My stbx and i have never been successful in comprimise. I will take your advised though i never thought about that the fact that how i'm trying to protect her could hurt her. I am thankful for your reply i will need to find a new approach for sure. I love our duaghter and only want whats best for her.
again thank you you explained that very well if you or anyone else has any idea's please feel free to post i'm am open to advise and critisism
