Dear Allison:
Is your other son your husband’s biological or adopted child? If not, then no rights.
Now, as for visitation, I think that you should allow him visitation in your home as often as possible, working up to alternating weekends. Talk to him about phasing in the visitation so that you can become comfortable with the same. If that does not work, you may want to file for child support and child custody, asking the judge to step in. Best of luck.
