Re: child visitaion

Yes, the mother has the right to say no. The custodial parent is not a taxi service or expected to be available at the whim of the NCP. On the other hand, even though the father has done something wrong, prompting the court to order supervised visits; the court has determined that forming a relationship with the dad is in the child's best interests. Considering the long-distance and advance plans, it might be in the child's best interest to make the visit happen.
