ohio, child visitations, 6 months
Hello, i broke up with my sons father a month ago, im still waiting on child support to get established and he hasn't contacted the court-which i hope he doesn't -he is a psyco drunk who i do not want rights to my baby.
but if he does contact the court and is granted visitations... what sorta or visitations do they give a father with a baby? will he have to stay the night? be alone with him? i know every sitiuation can be different... but does it still normally consist of everyother weekend and wednesdays like older kids?
thanks

Re: ohio, child visitations, 6 months
Child support is set up through the court. Visitation is also set up by the court. However, they are totally independent of each other. Get the child support.
Visitation will only happen if he seeks it and the judge approves. Is he on the birth certificate? Tell us more about him being a 'psycho drunk.' What makes him unsafe?
Sometimes visitation is supervised at a visitation center. Sometimes visits are supervised by a mutually agreeable relative. If the court does not agree that he is likely to be unsafe with the baby, there may be no supervision. Visitation arrangements vary greatly. Sometimes they are just a couple hours once a week, but it all depends upon the situation. Overnight visitation with the father is extremely unlikely to begin before 18 months and often doesn't happen until later than that.
Also, are you breast feeding?

thanks for your help. i started the child support enfourcment and have my first appointment later this month... its taken awhile to get going.
as far as being a dangerous drunk,
i have found him to come home and pass out on my sons floor (not even knowing he came home, but going in there to change a mid night diaper and almost falling over him) this scares me bc what if he picked him up or something? he does not need to be anywhere near emery when drunk!
he has wreck his car twice in the past 3 months... emery is only 6 months
i have had to go and sleep in wal mart parking lot while i was pregnant to get away from him bc all he wanted to do is fight
he got drunk and tried to drive another time and his friends wouldnt give him his keys- so he called 911 on himself twice and the shierf brought him home- i was so mad... i did not want some drunk who is dumb enough to call 911 in my house while im up at 4am with a baby
a let him have visits at first when we broke up- he would watch the baby while i was at school for a few hours- i would find him drunk, drank a 6 pack of beer i had in my fridge and my computer would be flooded with porn... what was he doing looking at porn with emery in the room???? so weird.
his name was still on the lease to our apartment and one day while watching emery (bc he would watch him at my apartment) he refused to leave and kicked us out... that was my last straw and i refuse to let him see emery. i do nto answer his calls and i did not let him know where we live now.
and yes he is on the birth certificate. i am so scared for him to get emery.... there should at least be records of the sherifs picking him up about a month ago.. and i kept the records of me urgently getting a uhaul and signing a lease b4 i could even get gas on.
