What Are Warning Signs a Child Is Having Trouble With a Visitation Schedule? & What Would You Do Diff?
Question by as: What are warning signs a child is having trouble with a visitation schedule? & What would you do diff?
Back ground of the situation: My ex left me while i was pregnant a month before our daughter was born got married and around the time i gave birth his wife got pregnant. He never told his wife i existed until three days before the baby was due and he called because he wanted to be there. I reluctantly allowed him to be and he signed the papers to establish custody.
He was in and out of her life the first 10 months so i went to see a lawyer to get full custody.
Mean while he filed for divorce from his wife while she was 6 or so months pregnant.
A less than a month later he was living with someone else and moved out of town.
He was doing all he could to not get served and when they finally served him I asked for in term child support of $ 100.00 and the judge ordered him to pay it. When the judged asked him what his income was he told them $ 800.00 a month and I find out now that he gets at least 2000.00.
When we went to the mediation he really acted like he cared and we worked out a visitation schedule if he moved back to the town were our daughter was born. He moved back and the visit ion was set for every other 48 hours. Yet she had never had over nights with him before and also little contact with him in the past. So when he moved back he would see her with me for a few hours a day for over a month and then I started allowing him to take her with him for a while then it went to he had her everyday from 6:30-4:00 while i worked and this seemed to be going good and it lasted a few months until we would start arguing over how he was careing for her and i desided for me to know when she would come home we needed to go to the visitation schedual. His sister and his nephew would tell me that she would cry all night and it got to the point that she seemed happy to see him and never cried when he picked her up. Now she is fussy on the first day she comes home and he tells me she was fussy the whole time. She would sleep threw the night since she was 4 months old and now she wakes up in the middle of the night and has to be rocked back to sleep. She has even started to throw fits and lay her self on the floor. She comes home in the same clothes i send her in every time some times really dirty and the switch is at 8am. She didnt gain weight for 5 months straight (she did start walking in the mean time). We put in the agreement that he had to have ins and regestration at all times on his vehicle and i can pull at least three times he could not show proof of ins to the officer but they dismissed it when he reinstated it with the ins company. He was in an accident with 4 ppl in the truck that seated 3 and got signted for no ins no reg child not in restrant and obstruction to drivers view. My daughter was not in the vehicle although he still has a vehicle that his girlfirend and all her kids and his cant fit in together but they all pile in and out of the car but what can i do when i see them my daughter is in her car seat also one of the seat belts in the car doesnt even work. What visitation is appropriate for her and how should she be affected o yeah and his girlfriend i found out was convicted of child abuse for using drugs and her son come up possitive and she is still on probation. Any advice.

If she were my daughter there is no way I would allow visitation with this man unless it was supervised.
I would not allow her near the girlfriend and certainly not allow her to be in their car.
I suggest you talk to a lawyer. Good Luck
