Legal Question in Family Law in Idaho

Can I Be Held In Contempt?

In mediation my ex and I agreed to take parenting classes, anger management, and relationship counseling together. My ex is now refusing to do any of these things and is now saying these aren't needed. He has admitted in the past that he has issues that he doesn't know how to deal with and from what I have heard about my ex's childhood it's understood why he has these issues. Counseling is needed because it is affecting the way he thinks and parents. Because of his depression, some of the threats made, and the things he says about me to our child infront of me, I am hesitant on letting him be alone with our child. It's not my intention to keep my ex and our child apart. Infact, I have told him he can come by or call anytime to talk to our child, who is only 1 1/2. My ex is threatening to have me held in contempt. What do I need to do to prepare myself for this? What can I take to the judge to help support my fear of him being alone with our child? Can I ask for anything special like supervised visitation? Can he be held in contempt?

You need to take your child to a psychologist or counselor who specializes in this area and who can testify about the problems she sees with your child and the inappropriate behavior of the father.
