Legal Question in Family Law in California

Unless you have some verifiable reason to think the father's friends are molesters, you are going to come across as paranoid if you take that approach to why you don't want overnight visits with the father as early as possible. There is strong evidence that children need bonding with both parents as soon as possible, and to do that frequent and regular time with both parents is needed. If you want to delay overnight visits, your best aproach is to come up with alternatives that compensate for that time with extra other time with the dad. I have a 7 month old with a woman I am not married to and don't live with, but I spend more than half my nights there, and at least some time pretty much every day. Fortunately we are still in a committed loving relationship. So that makes it easy, but if we split she doesn't want early overnights either. So she has agreed that if we split I will still be welcome at her place pretty much any time to be with our son. That may not be anywhere near possible in your situation, but it's just an example of how to work this kind of thing out.
