Legal Question in Family Law in California

If a man is under investigation for child molestation and openly admits it to the police and a court mediator during a custody interview, but has not been convicted can he still get unsupervised visits with his child? His child not being the one he violated?

First, what did he openly admit too? The crime he is charged with? or just that charges are pending? I would hope that any mediator would immediately inform the court that he admitted the to the crime and only recommend supervised visits. I would ask for no visitation under such circumstances. I have never had a situation where someone who is under investigation for child molestation has been given anything but supervised visitation. Even if the mediator was so bad as to not take into consideration the circumstances I would object and let the court know why. I would also present the evidence to the court regarding the charges such as the Police report.

You need an attorney in this situation. At the very least you need the assistance of family law facilitator's office in your county to help you with what your trying to do.
