What are my legal options regarding my child's welfare during visitation with unstable parent?
Question Details:My wife and I are separated. I have custody of my son but he sees his mother on the weekend. He comes home from her place scared all the time. I am having some concerns about her stability, and her ability to take care of him. What are my options?
The question is what is your son telling you about his visits? Is he actually scared? What does he say happens there? If your son articulates a reasonable basis for him to be scared and facts demonstrating that he is in an environment that places his safety and well being at risk, then you may have good grounds to argue that your son's visits to his mother's should be supervised. You may want to discuss this with your wife and then hire a lawyer if you believe that your son's safety is a issue and his mother appears to have a problem. Most lawyers will give you a free initial consultation.
