Denying him visitation is a bad idea, and it should never be done without consulting with a family law attorney. Withholding visitation could cost you custody. But, in your case, you may have no choice but to withhold visitation, so you need to get before a judge very quickly. You should speak with a family law attorney immediately and ask the lawyer to file a Petition to Determine Timeshare (custody and visitation) where you are asking that his visitation be supervised.
