Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My daghters father is a registered sex offender. I also have gotten a restraining order on him 09/13 for following and stalking myself and my boyfriend. Prior to the restraining order the only time he spent with her was when i was present. at our court date for the restraining order the judge ordered temporary custody to myself and temporary supervised visitation until 02/13. He has been present for every visit thus far. After 02/13 we will have another court date. Im in North Carolina. Could he possibly get visitation rights? What should I expect as i would be afraid for her safety around his family as i feel as if they would flee the country with her. Please advise.

You probably need to get representation. The Courts try for any possible course to make sure both parents at least have visitation with their children. You need to show that he is unfit for anything more than supervised visitation. If he has a past of violence to go along with the stalking, that will help. You need to show that he is not fit to be alone with your daughter.

As for the fear that, they would leave the country: you need to get some proof or evidence to support your fear. If a family member has said something to you, they have a history of moving very quickly, or have ties to a foreign country, you will have an easier time proving your cliam.
