Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
If it comes to this...
My husband & I have a son who will be 2 next month. If we ever part ways, I don't have a issue with my husband or his mother seeing our son but I would like to have the visitation supervised. The reason is two fold. Yesterday, I took my son for a visit with my mother in law. She left him outside ALONE while she came in the house to get something. We all hear of how kids can be abducted within seconds. This is the 4th incident where she has put my son's life in danger & he is not even 2 yet. I discussed it with my husband who agreed that she was careless. The second situation is my husband has 2 other children {a teenage son whom lives over 3000 miles away & a 7 year old daughter whom lives in the same city}. I recently found out that sometimes when he has her, he will drop her off at his mother or her aunts house & go to a friends house while he & the friend watch sports & drink a couple of drinks. Sometimes if relatives are in town, he will have her with him, but still have a drink or two. Then he gets in the car with her & drives. I have spoken to him about this & he says it was just a beer or 2. I don't want this to be our son as anything can happen. Pls advise on what I should do. Do I need to keep a log of this?

Re: If it comes to this...
The key phrase in your question is "if we ever part ways". Based on what you stated, I understand your concerns; however, I don't know what you can do at the present time, except (1)impose stricter visitaion terms on your mother in law, even including the condition that visitation with her be supervised, and (2) keep a detailed journal of events in case you ever need to show a pattern of conduct on your husband's part that is detrimental to your child's well-being.
