What is the name of your state? Virginia
The father has had no contact with his daughter since April 2004.
Current visitation order - Every other weekend-he picks her up from my home at7p Friday - I pick her up from his home Sunday at 4p.
I found out in April 2004, after my daughter returned from her weekend visit with him, that he had been living with his girlfriend since December 2003. Per the court order he is not to cohabitate with the opposite sex. He lived at home with his parents up to this point. I was under the impression that he still lived at home. Between Dec & April, my daughter had been staying at his parent's home during his scheduled weekend visitation. Her father did not spend the night at his parents home. He left my daughter in the evening & returned to his girlfriend's home. He returned to his parents home the next morning. I reminded him at that point about the court order. He picked her up for his next visitation & told me that my daughter would not be staying at his girlfriend's home. When I picked my daughter up on Sunday she told me that again she spent the night at his girlfriend's home. I told him then that I would not allow it to happen again. I have not heard from him since....Until March 2nd-our court date. I filed to have visitation terminated. He showed for the court date. He told the judge that he still was living with his girlfriend. Our trial is set for April 6th. He has since filed a modification to have visitation increased and stated he wants to begin seeing his daughter again. I have tried in the past to have visitation terminated when he did not see his daughter for 4 months. The judge denied my request, stating 4 months did not show a pattern. The judge has told me on numerous occassions that he very rarely terminates visitation. So this time I waited for a year. I have spoken to several people and am under the impression it is very difficult to have visitation terminated. Is there any former cases where visitation has been terminated based roughly on my situation? NOTE: Her father & I were never married nor did we live together and the original visitation order included not only the weekend visits but every Monday & Wednesday. The father gave up Mon & Weds telling the judge the 30 minute drive was too far.

). We both feel that significant others can come and go and will not benefit our son to get close to someone and then have to see them go.
