Needing advice on family court

General
1

I was wondering if any has any experience with family court/time sharing when the other person lets the motion default…I filed a month and a half ago to let the father get supervised visits since I currently have an injunction against him which also covers the children. His 20 days passed and I filed a motion for default which has been entered and just waiting for my parenting class certificate to be entered then we can schedule the final judgement. What is the final hearing like, will he have a chance then to request more than supervised visits and since he has not input his side including a financial affidavit, how does that work with child support?

Did he need to be supervised while you were married? Bet the answer is no and hopefully the court asik you what changed?

These are all questions for an attorney.

Child support catches up eventually anyway

Child support will request his paystubs and he has to show proof of income and he can request more than supervised visits but as long as you have proof he shouldn’t be alone with kids the judge will grant your request

I am going through something similar and it’s so hard. the laws are so different from place to place so it’s hard to say. You have specific questions that an attorney should be able to answer though.

If he didn’t answer and doesn’t show up they generally grant your petition. He has to take parenting class before they will assign any visitation.

I really hope that you think he is a danger to the children and that is why you are requesting supervised visits , otherwise it’s never a good idea to keep the children away from either parent .
My ex husband was not the best towards me but he’s a wonderful father so although we had our differences , I wouldn’t and couldn’t make the choice to take the kids from him and I have a prior domestic towards him so it’s not that I’m sugar coating it . However in my heart I don’t feel he would ever harm the children .
Please think the supervised visits over because doing it , it can be damaging and harmful to a child’s mental state to have to see their father or mother in a room watched over by a complete stranger and it also costs money which could be used towards the children .
