Legal Question in Family Law in California
Can a Judge impose supervised vistaition with out a specific motion for supervised vistation and an evidentary hearing, in California Faimily Law?
1 Answer from Attorneys
A judge would not impose a supervised visitation unless there was a hearing and a motion filed requesting it. The court does not issue orders without a motion being filed. Evidence is not always taken at a hearing, it would depend on the situation for how the request for supervised visitation came up. If there are dire emergencies then supervised visitation may be appropriate without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
