I would expect that he would get supervised visitation only.

Call me if you like.

The Court will do what is in the best interests of the child. Custody to such a person is certainly not likely.

If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. A half hour consultation will be $75.00. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.
