Requirements for Child Visitation
What are the requirements... What must the father have or put in place for any visitation to be granted?
For example: Should a 4-yr old daughter have her own bed?
The father of my child is, in effect, HOMELESS! (living w/his adult daughter). During a PFA hearing,he stated ''My parents will let me live w/them where she will have her own room''. The judge granted him visitation EVERY weekend!! She has had 3 visits there now and SLEEPS WITH HIM in his parents bed! Is this appropriate? Also, he has anger mgmt issues and there's been fighting going on there (which is why I removed him from our home in the first place). And advise will be greatly appreciated. Anjela

Re: Requirements for Child Visitation
He should at least have a separate bed for the child. Custody provisions in PFAs are usually only tempprary-you should file a separate custody action and deal with the issue of his living arrangement there. In the alternative, you could file to modify the PFA-however, more than likely they will tell you that as it is a custody issue, you have to deal with it that way. Please contact me if you would like to discuss or schedule an appointment at a mutually convenient time and at one of my several locations.
