supervised visitation

[Bloomer]

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but .... doesn't that wording already give the OP the 'supervised' visitation status that he was inquiring about? It sounds like the visitation is under HIS supervision. Maybe I am just reading it wrong.

That's the way I understood it also... OP is the superviser of visits. It's a temp order though and I think OP was probably speaking as to when a permanent order is made and mother is allowed to take child to her state.

To the OP - utilize the supervised visitation status that you have now to get mom and child reacquainted. Now is the time to do it - or at least try but like IAAL said; you can lead a horse to water ...

As long as the mother would take care of the child, meet his basic needs and be close to him, why should they have supervised visits?

I would only demand supervised visists if children are in danger of being mainiplatived to smoke pot, molestation, parent allow kids to smoke cigarettes, etc...I know because someone is like that and is very much invovled with police reports that his wife demand to have her rights to protect her kids from that *******!!!!! Normally, I don't believe that kids should be seperated from their parents at all and that they should be encouraged to contact parents all the times to develop the bond together.

But in this case of those stupid idiot things that a parent would allow a child to do, then that is only time I would say that this child needs to have supervised visits PLUS this parent must go through heavy counseling!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry if I come so hard on this, it just makes me angry if parents try to demand supervised visits on t heir children for no reason at all because they won't be in any danger and they need bonding with BOTH parents! Your son would appericate it alot if you allow him to go visit his mom unless his mom beats him up or something like that then it is RIGHT to demand supervised visits.

Also, I forgot about our January hearing. She came here to the hearing and afterward I asked if she wanted to see him. She came to his school and visited with him for about 10 minutes (he didn't want to talk to her). When she was leaving I asked her if she wanted to take him somewhere to visit with him like the park or McDonalds. She had a hundred excuses why she couldn't.

I tell her when he is out of school for holidays. I tell her that she or her parents can come visit him anytime they want. Never do I tell her the visits will be supervised and I always let her know of events going on in the area that she could take him to. I give her and her parents his schedule so they can call anytime he is home. I go out of my way to make it easier for them but no one calls and no one visits. I can't even get the dang horse to the water, much less make it drink.

I have no problem with her seeing him or spending time with him. I have no problems with her taking him to her parents (post permanent order). I have even told her any visits she can't come and get him that her parents can have. The reason I wanted supervised visitations was for my son because I could really care less about HER wants or needs. It would have been great if she could visit him at his grandparents (not her parents). They are extremely nice and have a big house with a huge yard where they could visit in an environment that is happy and familiar to my son.

Okay I understand better now....I don't know much about supervised visits really..That is too bad that mother seems not to care about spending her precious spare time to be with her son. As long as you try to encourage her to go visit him, that is great...your son will know when he grows up.
