Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: Father seeking custody

The best way is to continue working with her to find a compromise that might allow his mother to have visitation more than just every other weekend during the Summer. If she goes to get an attorney, that is when the significance of her husband's sex offender status woudl be legally relevant. Until then, you can state (in writing) that you want her to have quality time with her son, but am concerned that he might be left with her sex offender husband. If she seems to push the point, then you might tell her that if she pushes for custody, that you are going to request that a judge requiire that her husband not be in teh house during visits, or that she pay for a court approved visitation monitor to be presetn during her visits.

As to the grandparents getting yrou sone during most of her visits, it would not look good for you, (if this goes to court), to be trying to deny your son meaningful time with his maternal relatives. That is if there isn't some other reason why he should not spend time with them.

Good Luck
