Re: Venue

It will be up to a judge whether to allow visitation or not. Only in a rare case is there no visitation allowed. You should ask the judge for (1) no visitation since he has not been part of the child's life; (2) if visitation is granted, that it be suprevised by a court approved supervisor; and (3) that he pay the cost of the supervisor, and that the visitation only occur in your city.
