What is the name of your state? WI

Back in late December my daughter was abused by her step father. Her Mom has stood by his side, and as a result is only allowed supervised visits. Back in May the visits did progress to Supervised Day Visits to be supervised by her Mom instead of CPS, but it has now gone back to supervised 1 hour visits by CPS, due to several no shows, and also because of another disclosure my daughter made during thearopy that is currently being investigated.

Anyway I screwed up back in early December and got pulled over for DD, after my company Christmas party. It was an extreme lack of judgement, and I have followed everything ordered by the court to a T and will never do this again. In August I have to go serve 48 hours in jail, I was sentanced to 10 days, but the rest will be served on the electronic monitoring system. CPS, the Judge, the DA, the GAL and the police who were involved with the abuse investigation are aware of this and have been since the beginning. There is NO issue there with them as the kids were not in danger, and weren't even in my care at the time this happend. Believe me I know how stupid this was.

My question is my ex of course in standard fashion has been trying to deflect the attention from herself and make this into a big deal. She is still under the impression even though she has been told this is not the case that she will be getting the kids for these 2 days.

I'm wondering what I need to have in place, in case she tries to take the kids up from school, or my house. Do I need to give my fiance power of attorney or something, or does she just refuse her and call the police (what would she have to show them). We have the court order but it only states that she is to have supervised visits which will progress into supervised visits by a party other then CPS, then progress unsupervised visits with pop ins, and then eventually unsupervised day visits, and then overnights. But it doesn't say at which step we are at, so she could easily lie. She has been calling CPS about this almost daily, and I am just conerned that she is going to try to pull something... She is a very unstable person. Please help...

this is not legal advice, but couldn't your fiance and the kids just be "out of town" for those two days?

I am assuming from your post that this is not her time for visitation, and that she does not have ROFR, since you mention supervised visits for her.

that's what I was thinking fair- school here doesn't start until after labor day- maybe a 2-3 days visit to granny's is in order before the busy school year

That's kind of what we were already thinking. We are thinking of her taking the day off of work and not even sending the kids to daycare that day.

Currently she has NO CONTACT unless approved by CPS. Which allows for phone calls every Saturday and Sunday (which she never bothers with) and currently she has a 1 hour visit every Thursday. I'm just concerned since the court order is pretty vague that she could pull something by saying she has unsupervised over nights now, etc. And the police not bother checking into things further. So I just want all my i's dotted and t's crossed.
