Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Visitation after conviction of CSC 2nd degree
My ex has been convicted of CSC 2nd with his own daugther and Spent less than 3 mos in jail and is now out and tells me that his visitation remains the same. I was told two different things by 2 different case workers and am not sure of what to do. I don't have the money to file to for a change in visitation and was told by one case worker to wait and make him take me in on a show cause hearing. I am wondering what is right. The last thing the judge said to my ex after sentencing him to jail was 5 years probation, no alchol or drugs and not to be around any children under the age of 16 years old. please tell me what to do. I don't want anymore of my family members to be hurt by this man.

Re: Visitation after conviction of CSC 2nd degree
When people say they can't afford an attorney to help protect their children I am skeptical. That usually means that they would rather spend the money one something else. If you TRULY cannot afford an attorney, you might have to settle for Legal Aid. Don't ignore the problem and don't violate the court's visitation orders. Take action NOW with an attorney.
Re: Visitation after conviction of CSC 2nd degree
Call the judge's clerk in the case where he was sentenced. Ask how to order the transcript of the sentencing. Then send for it. It will cost you a little money (probably around $30.00). Since you are getting this free legal advice, you can spring for it. Then, if he makes noise about visitation, show up to court with the transcript. The judge may ultimately allow visitation supervised in the company of a responsible adult, if he decides to bring it up. William S. Stern
