What is the name of your state? Utah
Ok, I am paranoid. My attorney says that I can do two things regarding custody of my 5 year old which I have sole custody of. My ex lives in Alaska and up till now has not requested any visitation with his son. Now he wants visitation. I don't feel comfortable giving him visitation. He is an alcoholic, abusive verbally and physically, and had tried to commit suicide 3 times 2 years ago and was in a psychiatric hospictal and treatment facility after that. I know how he was around my other children from a previous marraige and I do not want to subject my son to his alcoholic & irrational behavior. I can either simply not responsd to his request for visitation and let him take me to court and show cause or I can spend the money myself and have visitation changed. What I want is supervised visitation but I don't have the money to open it up and start the process. I want to do what is best for my son and don't want to somehow forfeit custody of my son. Anyone know what I should do to keep my son safe and with me? The attorney says if I do nothing and I am taken to court, I just have to show the court why I did this and of course it's just a matter of the court getting my ex's medical records.

I am tired of him running and ruining my life. I just want to keep my son safe and happy and I am very much afraid of doing the wrong thing.
