Re: Visitaion

You should request that the order provide for cancellation of the visit if he is more than 15 minutes late. Also that if he misses 3 visits in a row or a 30 period that visits are either 1. canceled pending further order fothe court or 2. that the length of the visits is reduced to a much shorter time.

At the mediation or in court stress the difficulty his conduct adversely affects the children.
