Legal Question in Family Law in California

Reply: Protecting a child

You have the responsibility of returning to court and seeking a modification of the underlying visitation order unless the father agrees with you. You might want to consider some type of "parent re-unification program" using a therapist to assist.

I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

You will find some valuable information on various family law issues at my web site.

Good luck to you!

The visitation order is still enforcable. You need to file motion to modify visitation. The visitation, if any, should be supervised until he has shown that he is drug free.
