Visitation

He has the right to have visitation with his child. She can not keep him away. Unless there are other circumstances involved, the visitations should not be at her home. This is a controlling measure. He should consult an attorney and attempt to get joint legal and physical custody with equal time.

If he is not concerned with having equal time he can at least have his visitation to be at his residence. Pickup and drop off could be at a centralized location instead of either home and they can be shared.

She has no say in who he has around the child as long as the child is not in danger or being neglected. Another controlling attempt.

thank you for your reply… yes and i agree that it is a controlling issue. do you have any idea what he needs to do to get into a mediation with her… cause she isnot going to agree to anything voluntary.

No, she does not get to make all the decisions regarding custody. If he is unable to agree with her regarding custody, he could file a lawsuit and ask for the court’s assistance.

i have a friend that has a child with a woman that he had been seeing. he and the woman are not together anymore and the only time he can see his son is if he goes to her house and he has to stay there. what can he do as far as going to mediatiion to get more visitation so that he doesnt have to sit under her every sunday when he goes to visit his son. also she has told him that if he did get any kinda visitation that she would make sure that their son would not ever be allowed around one of his friends( female friend ). she does not like her. can she tell him who he can see or who he can take the child around on his visitation.
