.too sad in az said:You may have given birth but that does not consititue you as being a good mom. No one in their right mind! would have a newborn or 1 yr old go back & forth from one home to another. The courts look at the stability of the child without disruption. In the court guidelines in AZ, if a parent has not been involved in the day to day duties (which his daddy hasn't, not to my doing) then the child is to remain in his home until he develops a bond with the other parent and then overnights will begin. I've found a great deal of info and not from posters like you.
You better hold it right there young lady. I happen to be a good mom AND I sent my 1 yr old little girl over to her dads for an overnight. At that time there was no bond between them as he left when she was 4 months old. We split up because we couldn't work things out and that was not our childrens fault. I made sure there was a bond created between the two of them. In the end what my children will remember is that their parents loved them and that their mom NEVER stopped their father from seeing them. The law is only there for people like you who look for ways to stop the other parent from being there.
